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 elevators, parkade systems, windows or glazing, plumbing, mechanical equipment, exterior maintenance and insurance. Confirm completed projects and future funding requirements.

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 (EPS2739). 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
