Before removing conditions, make sure you understand exactly what you're buying.
Property Disclosure Statement (PDS)
Ask the seller to complete a Property Disclosure Statement. It shares the seller's knowledge of the home's condition, past repairs, renovations, and any known defects. While it's not a warranty, it's an important source of information.
Home Inspection
A professional home inspection is highly recommended for most resale homes. It evaluates the property's overall condition, including the structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems, helping you identify potential issues before closing.
Real Property Report (RPR)
Request an up-to-date Real Property Report with municipal compliance (when applicable). This confirms the location of structures and helps identify potential compliance issues.
Additional Reviews (When Appropriate)
Depending on the property, you may also want to request:
Condo document review (for condominiums)
Sewer scope inspection
Radon testing
Foundation or structural assessment
Permits or documentation for completed renovations
Every property is different. Your REALTOR® will help you determine which inspections, documents, and conditions are appropriate based on the property's type, age, condition, and current market conditions, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
