Real Property Reports (RPRs) are crafted by top-tier land surveyors. An RPR can be described as a visual blueprint of your property’s layout, structures, and buildings at a specific juncture. The Real Property Report delineates the geographic connection of your property with the Municipality’s property and surrounding properties. It paints a comprehensive picture of how your property integrates into the local vicinity, highlighting additions like sheds, decks, pools, and more.
Determining whether your property adheres to municipal bylaws is where an RPR becomes invaluable. An earlier version, crafted when you first purchased or built your home, might still be valid. However, if there have been substantial modifications to the property landscape, an updated RPR could be essential.
Addressing any discrepancies can be negotiated between the buyer and seller before the transaction concludes. For a deeper dive into this process, consider reaching out to a real estate attorney or exploring the option of purchasing title insurance.
Per the standard real estate contract in Alberta, a seller must furnish the buyer with a Real Property Report. This document should showcase all “current improvements.” If your RPR hasn’t changed since your initial purchase and no new structures have been added, this document remains valid for the sale of your home.
Considering an alternative to the traditional RPR? Title Insurance stands out as a viable option.
