Real Property Report: In Alberta, unless the buyer agrees otherwise, the seller must provide a Real Property Report (RPR) with evidence of municipal compliance to the buyer prior to the deal closing. An RPR is a legal document prepared by an Alberta Land Surveyor that shows property boundaries and improvements (structures) relative to the property’s boundaries. Evidence of municipal compliance confirms that property improvements comply with the municipality’s Bylaws and Regulations. It does not mean the building’s use complies with their Land Use Bylaws, easements, covenants, legislation, or other requirements affecting land or buildings. Contact an Alberta Land Surveyor if you need to update your RPR or obtain a new one.
Outstanding Insurance Claims: If you have any outstanding insurance claims, deductibles, pay-outs or work to be completed contact your insurance company as this may influence you or the purchaser.
Permits on Construction: You are required to the City/town/etc… ask them if you have a final building permit for all development on the property. If there is any part of the property that does not have a permit this will result in complications upon closing. This may influence the purchaser to not buy the property.
