Buying an Acadia Condo or Townhome

Start by comparing the asking price, floor plan, bedroom and bathroom count, property condition, parking, storage and possession date. Buyers should also confirm whether parking stalls and storage areas are titled, assigned, leased or part of the common property.

Monthly condominium fees should be reviewed together with the services they cover. Depending on the development, fees may include some exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, building insurance, common-area expenses, utilities or reserve-fund contributions.

Reviewing Condo Documents and Finances

Before purchasing, review the condominium plan, bylaws, financial statements, operating budget, reserve-fund study, recent meeting minutes, insurance information and any available engineering or building reports. These documents may provide information about the corporation's finances, maintenance plans and current issues.

Buyers should ask about approved or proposed special assessments, significant repairs, insurance claims, legal matters and changes to monthly fees. Document review by an appropriate condominium-document professional or legal adviser may be helpful.

Rules, Restrictions and Maintenance Responsibilities

Condominium bylaws may regulate pets, rentals, age or occupancy, renovations, flooring, barbecues, parking and the use of balconies, patios or common areas. Confirm that the applicable rules support your intended use of the property.

Maintenance responsibilities also vary. Owners may be responsible for portions of the windows, doors, patios, yards, heating equipment or plumbing serving their unit. Review the condominium plan and bylaws rather than assuming all exterior maintenance is included.

Property Condition and Inspections

A unit inspection may help assess interior plumbing, electrical systems, appliances, windows, heating equipment and visible signs of moisture or damage. The condition of the building exterior, roof, foundation, balconies and common mechanical systems should also be considered through the condominium documents and available reports.
