Get StartedLike its more famous namesake, Woodstock is known for music. “The friendly city” plays host to Cowapolooza every year, where tribute bands and entertainers pay homage to Woodstock ’69 favourites like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and the Grateful Dead. Woodstock’s summer-long streetfest showcases its historic Romanesque and classical revival architecture. Old Town Hall, site of the 1890 trial of notorious Victorian conman Reginald Birchall (Lord Somerset), and the refurbished Woodstock Jail/Goal are highlights of its historic downtown.

Thirty to 60 days is usual. Closings can have any timeline seller and buyer agree on, provided your lawyers can complete the sale in time. Extensions can usually be negotiated in the agreement of purchase and sale, but give yourself enough time to prevent the sale from being cancelled. On closing day, you’ll need to sign title transfer documents, pay the full price through a mortgage or your own resources, and collect the keys. Don’t neglect to notify tax authorities, hydro, cable, water, or gas companies, and your home insurer that you are moving in or vacating a home.
You can include such a condition in the agreement of purchase and sale, but the seller may not want or be legally able to oblige you. To answer your question further, we’d need to know who owns the trees. Are they on the seller’s lot, the boulevard, or overhanging the property? Your first step is to request a property survey. Trees located on Woodstock boulevards belong to the city, which plants, maintains, and prunes them. So the short answer to that question is no, not without the city agreeing. Trees on private lots are the homeowner’s responsibility, provided their roots are on the lot you want to purchase. If any part of a trunk or visible roots extends to a neighbour’s lot, you’re dealing with boundary trees. In that case, the seller and neighbour have joint ownership, and a legal obligation to talk before doing anything more. Likewise if branches from a neighbour’s tree overhang the seller’s lot, they are the neighbour’s responsibility. Any effort you make to alter or prune such trees can land you in court. While Woodstock bylaws protect your right to keep your property safe, you can’t trespass on a neighbour’s property or damage their trees to get the view you want.
You can certainly ask your realtor why your offer was unsuccessful. You can formally complain if you believe a realtor’s or lawyer’s actions were unethical. For instance, not knowing your realtor also represents the seller, or the seller’s lawyer is on title to the property, could affect how fair the sales price is. An undisclosed conflict of interest that places you at a disadvantage can be grounds for a complaint. Go to the RECO (Real Estate Council of Ontario) or Law Society of Ontario website to make a complaint.
