Alberta Duplex Guidance: Discipline That Travels

Whether you’re shopping Edmonton, Calgary, or a growing secondary market, the same fundamentals protect you: verified income, defensible comps, and a realistic repair/upgrade timeline.

Buyer: Verify Income

Leases, rent roll, deposits, arrears, and who pays utilities. If it’s not documented, it’s not underwritten.

Buyer: Expenses + Capex

Taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, and reserves. Roof/windows/mechanicals matter more than staging.

Seller: Sell Certainty

Strong offers follow clean files: updates list, utilities, rent roll, and receipts for major items.

Quick Due Diligence Checklist (Alberta Duplexes)

  • Tenancy: leases, rent roll, deposits, arrears, renewal timing.
  • Utilities: who pays what, historical bills, meter setup, shared services.
  • Operating costs: taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy allowance, management (if used).
  • Capital items: roof/windows/mechanicals, grading/drainage, exterior condition.
  • Compliance: permits/suite status (if applicable), life safety items.
  • Offer structure: conditions aligned to verification steps and timelines.

Alberta Duplex FAQ

What counts as a duplex in Alberta listings?
Generally a two-unit property (side-by-side or up/down). Some listings may include additional suite configurations—verify permits and layout during due diligence.
Are duplexes good for house-hacking in Alberta?
Often, yes. Living in one unit while renting the other can reduce your carrying costs—just confirm rental demand, utilities, and realistic expenses.
What should duplex sellers prepare before listing?
A clean package: rent roll/leases (if rented), utility history, and receipts for major updates. Reducing uncertainty protects your price and terms.
Can you send a province-wide duplex shortlist?
Yes. Share your budget, preferred cities/areas, and plan (house-hack vs rental), and we’ll filter listings and match a clean comparable set.
