Are you a busy real estate agent or homeowner?
We can help you make the most of your valuable time by delivering your Real Property Report to the City of Calgary for the required stamp of compliance.
Real estate transactions almost always require a current Real Property Report (RPR).
An RPR is a legal document an Alberta Land Surveyor (Lovse Surveys) prepares. It’s basically a high-level drawing of the property, the boundaries, and the buildings and structures on it, so buyers know exactly what they’re buying.
Important note:The standard seller representation agreement used in Alberta requires sellers to provide a current RPR to the buyer, unless otherwise agreed to by the buyer. In most transactions, a buyer’s lender and lawyer require a current RPR to complete the transaction.
An RPR contains:
Legal description and municipal address of the property
Date of land title search and date RPR was done
Certificate of Title (land title) number and names of registered owner(s)
Location and description of all buildings and structures (e.g. decks, fences) with dimensions, directions and distances from the property boundaries
Location and dimensions of any visible encroachments (i.e. buildings or structures that are too close or even beyond the property line)
Designation of adjacent properties, roads, lanes
Evidence of municipal compliance (i.e. the RPR has been reviewed by your municipality and adheres to all municipal bylaws and regulations. They usually stamp and date compliance directly on the RPR)
Illustrations of any easements that affect the property (an easement is an agreement between the property owner and some other party (usually your municipal authority or utility) for them to utilize part of your property as needed)
Certified Land Surveyor’s duly signed certification and opinion on any concerns
