How to properly evaluate a condo before buying
Analyzing a co-ownership goes far beyond visiting the unit. Several documents must be reviewed.
The declaration of co-ownership sets the building rules: use, pets, short-term rentals and voting rights. Recent meeting minutes reveal current issues such as upcoming work, disputes and financial decisions.
The contingency fund indicates the co-ownership’s ability to absorb major renovations without special assessments. Monthly condo fees must be analyzed in context: low fees in an aging building can signal future increases.
My experience as a former general contractor helps me evaluate the general condition of the building and spot signs of costly work ahead. Tell me about your project for complete guidance.

FAQ
What are the average fees for a condo for sale in Saint-Jérôme?
For a condo for sale in Saint-Jérôme, monthly condo fees generally range from $150 to $400 depending on the age of the building, the services included and the size of the unit. Buildings with an elevator, pool or gym often have higher fees. Always verify what the fees cover and the condition of the contingency fund before submitting an offer.
What is the difference between divided and undivided co-ownership?
Divided co-ownership gives you ownership of a specific unit and a share of the common areas, with a separate notarized deed for each owner. Undivided co-ownership gives you a percentage share of the entire building, with exclusive use of a unit by agreement. Financing, taxation and resale differ between the two forms.
Should a condo be inspected before purchase?
Yes. A pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended even for a recent condo. The inspector evaluates the unit and, when possible, visible common areas such as the roof, mechanical room and corridors. Combined with a review of condo documents and meeting minutes, this helps identify structural and financial risks before the notary appointment.
