The certificate behind a condominium closing.
Closing a condo transaction without a condominium certificate is almost impossible. We prepare the certificate and work directly with the attorney and title company handling the file.
What is a Condominium Certificate?
A Condominium Certificate is a legal survey document prepared by a licensed Professional Land Surveyor that defines unit boundaries, common areas, and limited common elements within a condominium property. Because buyers do not purchase the dirt under a condo unit, a traditional property boundary survey is impossible. Instead, title insurance companies and lenders require this certificate to verify the legal and physical space of the specific unit being purchased.
These certificates are often required when financing is being secured, new condo units are being constructed, or a property is being converted to condominiums.

Lender Requirements and Unit Sales
A lender will require a condominium certificate when purchasing a new unit or refinancing an existing mortgage. A condo certificate will satisfy the survey documentation for mortgage approval.
