Why Request Condo Documents in Alberta

Buying a condo isn't just buying a unit — it's buying into a corporation. You inherit its finances, its reserve fund, its bylaws, and its decisions. Condo documents are how you see inside before you commit.
‍
Under Alberta's Condominium Property Act, sellers must provide corporate records to prospective buyers on request. A complete package gives you, your realtor, your lawyer, and your lender the full picture of what you're actually purchasing.
‍
Request condo documents when you:

• Have an offer in and need to satisfy the document review condition
• Are weighing an offer and want to vet the financials first
  
• Need them for lender approval
  
• Own a unit and are refinancing, selling, or settling an estate
  
• Are a lawyer or review service acting for a buyer

Skipping this review is how buyers get hit with surprise assessments, restrictive bylaws, or active litigation. Condo documents are the difference between an informed purchase and an expensive lesson.
