Condominium Documents
When a person purchases a Condominium in Alberta, along with the particular unit they are purchasing they are also purchasing a piece of the Condo Corporation. Before finalizing the purchase every buyer will want to review (or have a Lawyer or 3rd party company review) the Current Condominium Documents, to determine the financial status of the Corporation.
The Seller of the Condominium is required to provide these documents to the Seller. To speed up the sale of the unit it is important to have these documents ready to immediately provide to the Buyer, so that they can waive the “Review of Condominium Document Condition” as soon as possible.
You may have some Documents in your presence now, if so please provide them all to your real estate professional. They will go through them and tell you which ones are missing. It is typical that the seller does not have a complete set. Your Realtor will order any documents that are missing from your Condo management Company. You will receive a call when they are ready to pick up. The Management Company will require payment at pick up time. After pick up please provide them to your Realtor.
You may also be able to get copies of the current documents from your friends and neighbours that live in the complex, thus reducing your costs. If you know people that have just purchased they will have the most up to date Documents.
