How Court-Ordered Sales Work in British Columbia
In British Columbia, many foreclosure properties are sold through a legal process known as a court-ordered sale. When a borrower fails to meet the terms of a mortgage, the lender may begin foreclosure proceedings through the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Unlike a typical real estate transaction, a court-ordered sale is supervised through a legal process intended to ensure that the property is sold fairly and that the interests of the parties are addressed.
Typical steps in the process
- The lender begins foreclosure proceedings through the court.
- The court may grant an order allowing the property to be marketed for sale.
- The property is listed for sale, often on the MLS® system.
- Buyers submit offers through their Realtor®.
- An offer may be accepted subject to court approval.
- The offer is presented at a court hearing.
- If approved, the sale proceeds toward completion.
Important considerations for buyers
- Many foreclosure properties are sold "as is, where is".
- Property disclosure information may be limited.
- Court approval may be required before the sale becomes final.
- Timelines can differ from standard real estate transactions.
Working with a Realtor® experienced in foreclosure and court-ordered sales can help buyers better understand the process and reduce surprises along the way.

Buyer Education
Understanding Mortgages
A mortgage is a debt secured against land and registered in the Land Title Office. When payments are not made as agreed, the lender may begin legal foreclosure proceedings.
Communication with Lenders
Owners facing financial difficulty should contact their lender as early as possible. Some lenders may offer options before foreclosure proceedings advance.
Risks for Buyers
Foreclosure purchases can involve limited disclosure, property condition issues, legal procedures, and possible court approval requirements.
“As Is, Where Is”
Many foreclosure properties are sold in their current condition without repairs or warranties. Buyers should be prepared to accept the property as presented.
