What to Know Before You Buy
Because Forest Manor was built in 1981, buyers should approach their due diligence carefully. Buildings of this era often have a history of major capital expenditures — things like roofing, plumbing, balconies, and common area updates. When reviewing a unit here, always request:
- The current strata depreciation report
- Meeting minutes from the last 2 years
- The current contingency reserve fund balance
- Any outstanding special levies or upcoming assessments
A healthy reserve fund and proactive strata council are the key indicators of a well-run building. Don't skip this step — it can mean the difference between a smart purchase and an expensive surprise.
