Review of Offers
and Agreements
A legal review can be very helpful before you commit to a purchase, especially for condominiums and new-build properties. We review documents, so you have a clearer picture of what you are signing and what your responsibilities will be.
This can include review of:
- Agreements of purchase and sale
- Condominium documents
- Status certificates
- Builder agreements
- Key dates, deadlines, and conditions
- Closing costs and financial obligations
For new-build condominiums, timing is especially important. Buyers in Ontario have a short window to review the agreement and related documents, so early legal review can make a real difference.
