The Condo Preparation Checklist
All the documents brokers and notaries will request, organized before buyers start asking.
Selling a condo in Quebec takes more than a good price and a sign. Since August 14, 2025, Bill 16 specifies what buyers, brokers, and notaries require from you at first contact.
An incomplete file slows the transaction and forces back-and-forth with the syndicate at the worst moment — when a buyer is waiting for an answer.
This list follows the sequence brokers and notaries use to review a condo file. Five document categories, one precise order: you spot what’s missing, you request it from the syndicate before showings begin.
Twenty-five years of real estate transactions taught me which gaps derail a sale. I built this list to prevent every one of them, in the right order.
The checklist covers:
- Your unit’s basic information: square footage, parking, and what’s included
- Legal documents for the unit: title deed, location certificate, warranties, and renovation records
- Financial and governance documents from the co-ownership syndicate
- The new Bill 16 requirements, in effect since August 14, 2025: maintenance log, contingency fund study, syndicate attestation
- Monthly condo fees and recurring costs to disclose to buyers
