Everything you need to know about condo doc reviews.

A condo document review / strata document review is a professional analysis of the legal and financial documents that govern a condominium corporation. This includes the status certificate, reserve fund study, financial statements, meeting minutes, bylaws, and rules. Our experts read every page and deliver a plain-language report highlighting risks, red flags, and anything you need to know before closing.

All reviews are performed by Docwise, Canada's premier condo document review service. Every analysis is conducted by a dedicated team of human experts with deep professional knowledge of provincial condo legislation across Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia.

Turnaround time depends on the plan you choose. The Standard plan is delivered within 5 business days, Advanced within 3 business days, and both Premium and Master plans within 1 business day.

The documents required vary by province and the plan you select. Your real estate agent or lawyer can typically obtain these from the condo corporation or its management company.

Our report gives you full clarity on whatever we find. Armed with this information you can renegotiate the purchase price, request that the seller address specific issues, include protective clauses in the agreement, or walk away during your review period.

Our plans start at CAD $249 for the Standard package (5 Business Days) and go up to CAD $549 for the Master package. All plans are processed securely through the Docwise services with no hidden fees. Taxes may apply.

A condo document review complements, but does not replace, legal advice. Our reports are written in plain language to help you understand the documents, but we are not lawyers. We strongly recommend you also engage a real estate lawyer.

Bylaws set out the rules for daily living in the building, including noise, renovations, and use of common spaces. Reviewing them helps you understand your rights and obligations as an owner before you commit.

Most competitor reports consist of simple copy-and-paste tasks from documents, lacking deep analysis or containing errors caused by AI. Docwise's main focus is to provide clients with maximum relevant information and insights for purchasing decisions by cross-referencing details that competitors often overlook. In short, do not expect a lazy or unprofessional report from us.
