Condo document review

Know what's in the condo documents — before you waive.

Your condition deadline is the last moment the building's problems are still the seller's problems. A licensed Alberta real estate lawyer reviews the reserve fund, bylaws, minutes, and finances, walks you through what they mean, and puts it in writing — with rush turnaround available for tight deadlines.

Tell us your condition deadline and we'll confirm turnaround and your flat fee on the spot — usually within the hour during business hours.

What we review

The documents that reveal what you're really buying.

1

The money.

Reserve fund study and funding plan, financial statements, budget, and condo fee history — is the building saving enough, or is a special assessment coming?

2

The minutes.

Board meeting minutes are where problems surface first: planned assessments, disputes, building envelope issues, insurance claims. We read them so you don't learn later.

3

The rules.

Bylaws, rules, and management agreements — pets, rentals, parking, renovations. Whether the building fits how you actually plan to live in it.

Then what

A walkthrough in plain English, and a lawyer to closing day.

You get the findings explained by phone or video — what's fine, what's a negotiating point, what's a walk-away — before your condition deadline. And if you proceed, the same lawyer carries your file straight through to keys: one flat fee for the review, one for the closing, both quoted upfront and confirmed in writing before any work begins. Everything is done remotely, anywhere in Alberta.

FAQ

Common questions about condo doc review.

What does the review look at?

The documents that reveal the building's condition and finances: reserve fund study and funding plan, financial statements, bylaws and rules, board meeting minutes, insurance certificates, the estoppel certificate, and management agreements. The goal: know what you're buying into before you waive.

How fast can documents be reviewed?

Tell us your condition deadline when you send the documents and we work to it. Rush review is available for tight deadlines — call or text 780-473-7779 with your deadline and we'll confirm turnaround and fee on the spot.

Why does this matter before waiving conditions?

Once you waive, you own whatever the documents contain — an underfunded reserve, a looming special assessment, a bylaw that doesn't fit your plans, or litigation buried in the minutes. The review exists so those surface while you can still negotiate or walk away.

What does it cost?

A flat fee quoted upfront and confirmed in writing before we start — no hourly meter. If we also handle your purchase, the same lawyer carries the file from review to keys.

Is this available outside Edmonton and Calgary?

Yes — everywhere in Alberta. Documents arrive electronically, the walkthrough happens by phone or video, and closings are signed by secure video from wherever you are.
