Got Questions? We Have Answers
Under the standard real estate contracts in Alberta, sellers are not required to clean the home before handing over possession unless a specific cleaning clause was negotiated and included in the agreement. If this is important to you, it’s best to discuss it with your real estate lawyer before finalizing the contract.
A pre-possession walkthrough is not automatically included under the standard Alberta Real Estate Association (AREA) contract unless it is explicitly written into the agreement. If the contract does not include this provision, the seller can refuse a walkthrough before possession.
The ideal timeframe varies based on the needs of both parties. While some transactions close within 24 hours, we generally recommend allowing 1-2 weeks between firming up the purchase contract and the possession date. This ensures a smoother transition, allowing time for legal, financial, and logistical arrangements.
