Before you offer on a Burnaby penthouse
- Find out the roof’s age from the strata minutes. A depreciation report shows when a replacement is expected and how it will be paid for.
- Look for building-envelope work in the minutes, and ask whether any water-damage claim has been filed against the strata’s policy.
- Ask how the terrace is classed under the strata plan. An owned lot and limited common property carry different repair duties.
- Ask about air conditioning rules. Many top floors run warm in summer, and strata bylaws may limit where a unit can go.
- Compare the building’s fee with the $508 a month median for Burnaby penthouses and $456 for all condos. A fee well above that deserves a look at what it covers. The median Burnaby penthouse sold was built in 2013.
