Commercial deals turn on the lease and the financing
In commercial real estate, a property's value often depends on its existing leases and the security a lender requires. Both need to be read closely before a deal becomes firm.
Title shows what a listing doesn't
A property can look clean and still carry easements, caveats, or a Real Property Report problem. Title and RPR review before closing is what shows you what you are actually buying, or what a buyer will find when you sell.
Conditions have deadlines
Financing and inspection conditions in a purchase contract come with firm dates. Missing one, or waiving it the wrong way, can put your deposit and the deal at risk. Those dates need to be tracked from the day the contract is signed.
Frequently Asked Questions: Residential Real Estate Disputes
I found a problem with my home after closing — can I do anything?
It depends on whether the seller knew about the issue and failed to disclose it. We review the facts and advise on your options.
What if my neighbour's fence is on my property?
This is typically resolved by reviewing a Real Property Report or survey and, if needed, negotiating or litigating a boundary dispute.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Alberta's Limitations Act generally requires a claim to be started within two years of when the issue was, or should have been, discovered.
Do most residential disputes go to court?
No — many are resolved through negotiation once the facts and legal position are clear.
