COMMON QUESTIONS
Find The Right Home
What's Your Home Worth?

Surveys
A survey of your home consists of a birds eye view drawing of your home and yard. It should show a Plan Number and lot description. If requires a date and a signature of the Alberta Surveying Company who surveyed it. Your purchaser will probably request a copy of your survey in their offer, as they require it for mortgage purposes.

If you can't find your survey, try checking in:

  • Your safety deposit box
  • Your Bank who holds or held your mortgage
  • The lawyer who helped you buy the house
  • Your neighbours (often old surveys show 4 -5 houses on it - your property could be on theirs)
The cost of a new survey ranges in price from $600.00 - over $1000.00 for ravines and difficult lots.

Talk to your lawyer about title insurance as a possible alternative ($250.00).

You always have the option of selling your home without a survey and letting the buyer figure it out.

Canceling a Mortgage
A mortgage is often set up for a length of time or a 'term'. If you are selling your home before the end of it's term, and not planning to take it with you to a new place, your bank will charge you a penalty fee. Most commonly, the penalty fee is for 3 months of interest payments.

Note: Each lending institution is different and should be consulted on this matter.
