Buyer due-diligence checklist
Use these building-specific prompts to structure your document review and professional inspections. They identify questions to investigate, not conclusions about condition.
Construction and major systems
Review the current depreciation report and strata minutes for the building envelope, roof, balconies, drainage, insurance and acoustic concerns. Confirm which components are common property and whether major work is planned.
Age and capital planning
For a 2015 building, review warranty history, reported deficiencies, developer-related issues, completed repairs and the current depreciation plan rather than assuming newer construction requires little diligence.
Parking, storage and ownership details
The profile identifies the tenure as Freehold strata (EPS2759). Review how residential and commercial components share expenses, insurance, access, parking and decision-making. General parking information is available, but the legal stall designation, use rights and any allocation to a specific home must be confirmed. General storage information is available, but the locker designation and use rights must be confirmed.
Location and future change
Metro 2 is grouped within Royal Oak Fringe, with the broader Metrotown and Royal Oak transit network providing the relevant transit context. Test the actual walking route at the times you expect to travel, and review nearby active or proposed development for potential changes to noise, access, outlook and construction activity.
