Lot and site questions

  • Review the survey or real property report, current land-use record and title before making a redevelopment, parking, access or boundary assumption.
Layer 4

Renovation and redevelopment

  • Match the inspection and document plan to the subject property's actual construction, additions and effective age rather than the community's largest Census-era cohort.
  • Ask for permits, plans, warranties, invoices and material-renovation records where applicable, then distinguish documented work from cosmetic presentation.
Layer 5

Condominium or association context

  • For any condominium or managed-property form, review the corporation or association documents, insurance, financials, reserve planning, rules, parking, storage and unit obligations.
