Get instant access to the Buyer Protection Plan, which shows you exactly what to watch for — the strata risks a listing won't mention, the real monthly cost of ownership, and what quietly hurts resale value later so you can buy with confidence instead of guesswork.

What You're Really Buying
A Showing Tells You How a Home Feels — Not What It Costs
The photos and the walkthrough show you the surface. The Buyer Protection Plan is built to catch what's underneath it.
On the Tour
✓ Updated kitchen
✓ New flooring
✓ Big backyard
✓ Fresh coat of paint
Looks move-in ready.
Not on the Tour
! An upcoming special levy $18,400*
! A roof near the end of its life
! An insurance red flag
! Construction starting next door
Shows up on a bill later.
*Illustrative example — not every home has issues like this. The Plan is built to help you find out either way, before you offer.
Condo
What the Tour Won't Show You
Looked perfect. Then a repair vote came up, and owners were on the hook to help cover it.
A special levy already discussed, just not billed yet
A reserve fund that's been thin for years
Repairs scheduled right after you'd move in
A depreciation report full of items nobody's touched
One line in the strata documents can cost more than every upgrade inside the unit.
Townhouse
What the Tour Won't Show You
Cute end unit. The whole row needed new roofs, split between a handful of owners.
A small strata with very little saved up
Shared roofs or siding with a bill already coming
Big exterior repairs that hit every owner at once
Self-managed records that are hard to verify
In a small strata, one repair gets split between very few people — including you.
Detached
What the Tour Won't Show You
Great house. A restriction on title quietly limited what they could actually do with it.
A covenant on title limiting your options
Flood, slope, or water issues that spook lenders
Unpermitted work you'd inherit as your problem
A major project already planned next door
Title and permit issues don't disappear when you buy — they follow you when you sell too.
Brand-New Builds
New Doesn't Mean Risk-Free
Brand new. Possession slipped a year, and the fees weren't what they were first quoted.
Finishing issues the builder is slow to fix
Exterior repairs that surface in the first few years
A deposit that can get tied up if the project stalls
Strata fees quoted low to start, then rising to the real rate after year one
New doesn't mean risk-free — it just means the risk hasn't shown up yet.
