In Alberta, ask the seller for a current Real Property Report (RPR) with the municipality's compliance stamp — it confirms the house, garage and fences sit where they should. A home inspection and a review of the title for caveats round out the standard conditions.
Alberta has no land transfer tax — buyers pay land titles registration fees instead, which makes closing costs noticeably lower than in BC or Ontario. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.
