I have not every purchased property in Canada, but my wife is Canadian and I've seen some of the issues her family has had to deal with.  

Honestly, I would not sign any lease until you positively close and legally own the property.

Better than underground homes which have issues with moisture etc.

@Ryan Daniel  I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection in relation to real estate investments.

What would you say the biggest issue has been?

Don't just find out how it's all licensed and check on any historical issues with it, no you want to meet with local board members, find out how they really feel about the place and what the cities wants and plans are for the place.

Legal Implications & Ramifications : As an example; the iconic PCH homes in Malibu and many in the upper foothills might not permitted to build back, certainly not to the same extent or materials.
