Vancouver Strata Document Review

Vancouver is Canada's most strata-dense city, from West End and Yaletown towers to low-rise buildings in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant and along the Cambie corridor. Many buildings from the 1980s to the early 2000s have been through building envelope remediation, and insurance deductibles have climbed. Reading the Form B, depreciation report and council minutes together is the only way to know where a strata stands.

What the numbers mean for buyers

A typical Vancouver strata building is 15 to 35 years old, the stage when the first big replacement cycle arrives: roofs, building envelope, parkade membranes and mechanical systems. A review shows whether the corporation saved for it or will rely on special assessments.

What to request in Vancouver
