Document Review Service for the Discerning Condo Buyer or Seller
We do more than read documents and record facts, we put the information in context so you can evaluate the risks, the rules, managment style and expectations while living in the condo you are considering. At Condo Check® we have completed over 25000 document reviews and understand that no two condo's are alike!
Sample wording from a Condo Check® report completed in 2019: "Condo Check has reviewed ABCD Condo 14 times since 2007; while reviewing previous reports we find the Board has been consistent in their management of the project. The board has been dealing with water penetration in the units for some time. This has resulted in several special assessments over the past few years. The Information Statement provided indicates that this unit has paid these assessments in full."
Sample wording from a Condo Check® report completed in 2019:
"FYG Condo has had developer deficiency issues in the past (parkade water leaks) which required a parkade plaza waterproofing remediation. The cost of this project was $1.2M and was paid by Special Assessment from the Owners at that time (2015). This project has been completed and the Board is seeking compensation through legal action against the developer and the new home warranty."
