Understanding Real Property Reports and Their Importance

Essential Components of a Real Property Report

Real Property Report (RPR) documents are crafted by professional 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.

How Do RPRs Help with Municipal Bylaw Compliance?

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 residential property landscape, an updated RPR could be essential.

Addressing RPR Discrepancies

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 property title insurance.

Alberta’s Real Estate Contract Stipulations

Per the standard residential 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 Title Insurance as an Alternative to RPRs

Considering an alternative to the traditional RPR? Title Insurance stands out as a viable option.
