Cloverdale Townhomes for Sale

Written by Jared Gibbons, REALTOR®

For townhome buyers in Cloverdale and Clayton, I go through the strata records, including the minutes and depreciation report, before you firm up an offer. I've been a REALTOR® since 2015 and a member of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's Medallion Club for 10 straight years, which puts me in the top 1% of all Realtors in the Fraser Valley by FVREB sales. I'm #1 in South Surrey/White Rock by MLS points for 2025 and 2026 year to date, with more than $500M in sales.

Summary

This page shows townhomes and townhouses for sale in Cloverdale, one of the City of Surrey's communities. In Paragon, the MLS® system local REALTORS® use, Cloverdale is a sub-area of Surrey, and it takes in Clayton as well as the historic town centre. The feed covers every price, so it shows more than my Cloverdale townhomes under $1.2M page, which is set to one price band.

About Cloverdale

Cloverdale is in the City of Surrey, so Surrey's bylaws and plans apply, not Langley's, even on streets close to the border. Much of the townhome building in the area has happened in Clayton on the north side, and there are also older complexes closer to the town centre. To learn the area, read my Cloverdale guide and my Clayton guide.

How townhomes are owned

Most townhomes in Surrey are strata lots. You own your home, and the complex shares common property such as the roads, visitor parking, landscaping and often the roofs and siding. A strata corporation, run by an elected council, sets the strata fees and makes the bylaws. Yards, patios and driveways are often limited common property, set aside for one home but still owned by the strata. What the strata repairs and what you repair depends on the bylaws, so read them for each complex.

The Form B

The Province says the Form B: Information Certificate discloses information about a strata lot and the strata corporation. An owner, a buyer or someone they authorize can ask for it, and the strata corporation has to provide it within 7 days. It shows the monthly strata fees, anything the owner owes, approved special levies, and the contingency reserve fund balance. It comes with the current budget, the rules, and the most recent depreciation report if there is one.

Depreciation reports

Strata corporations with five or more strata lots must get a depreciation report on a five-year cycle. It lists the common property and assets and projects repair, maintenance and replacement costs over 30 years. In a townhome complex, roofs, siding, decks, fences and internal roads are common items to look for. Read the report alongside the contingency reserve fund balance to see whether the complex has planned for them.

Minutes

Council and annual general meeting minutes matter because issues and repairs usually show up there before they become special levies. Look for repeated mentions of leaks, roofing, siding or drainage work.

Bare land strata

Some complexes are bare land strata, where each owner holds a lot and the strata looks after shared items such as roads, water, electricity or sewage. The Province says bare land strata corporations with five or more lots also need depreciation reports. Ask which kind of strata a complex is, because it changes who looks after the outside of your home.

Before you buy a Cloverdale townhome

• Get the Form B and read every attachment.
• Read the bylaws for what the strata repairs and what you repair.
• Ask for council and annual general meeting minutes.
• Check the strata plan for the yard, the parking and any limited common property.
• Confirm the strata fee and what it covers.

For current figures, see my Fraser Valley Market Stats page. If you want a home with no strata, my Cloverdale houses for sale page lists those. If you want one shared wall instead of a full row, see my Cloverdale half duplexes for sale page.

How I help townhome buyers

I read the Form B, the depreciation report and the minutes with you, and I flag anything worth raising with the strata or a lawyer. I also check what's limited common property, so you know what comes with the home. That review happens before you remove subjects, while you can still walk away. If something in the records needs a closer look, I'll tell you plainly and suggest who to ask.
