What is a mandatory document that a seller must provide?

The Certificate of Location is a mandatory document that a seller must provide in a real estate transaction in Quebec. This certificate is a crucial legal document prepared by a land surveyor, which shows the specific boundaries of the property being sold and indicates whether any structures, such as buildings or fences, are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It ensures that both the buyer and seller have a clear understanding of the property being transacted and outlines any encroachments or easements that may exist.

This document is essential for confirming that the property has been properly mapped and is accurately represented in the sale, providing legal clarity and protection for both parties involved. Other documents such as financial statements, inspection reports, and property appraisals may be useful in the transaction process but are not mandated by law for the seller to provide at the time of sale.
