Time limits apply
Alberta's Limitations Act sets time limits for bringing a claim. Acting sooner rather than later preserves your options.
Boundary disputes often need a survey
A Real Property Report or a fresh survey is usually the starting point for resolving a boundary or encroachment disagreement.
Non-disclosure claims are fact-specific
A seller generally has to disclose known material defects. Whether a specific issue qualifies depends closely on the facts — what was known, and when.
Frequently Asked Questions: Residential Real Estate Disputes
I found a problem with my home after closing — can I do anything?
It depends on whether the seller knew about the issue and failed to disclose it. We review the facts and advise on your options.
What if my neighbour's fence is on my property?
This is typically resolved by reviewing a Real Property Report or survey and, if needed, negotiating or litigating a boundary dispute.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Alberta's Limitations Act generally requires a claim to be started within two years of when the issue was, or should have been, discovered.
Do most residential disputes go to court?
No — many are resolved through negotiation once the facts and legal position are clear.
