The Notice to Waive or Satisfy Conditions in Alberta Real Estate

When you write an offer to purchase a home in Alberta, most contracts include conditions—protections for buyers and sellers that must be met before the deal becomes final. Common examples include financing approval, a satisfactory home inspection, or the review of a condominium document package.

Once those conditions are dealt with, there’s one critical form that moves the deal forward: the Notice to Waive or Satisfy Conditions.

What Is the Notice Form?

The Notice (for Waiver/Satisfaction of Conditions) is a standard Alberta real estate form used to update the purchase contract. It tells the other party that:

• Conditions have been satisfied (for example, you secured mortgage approval or completed the inspection).

• Conditions are being waived (you choose to move forward without them, even if not fully satisfied).

• Or, in some cases, conditions have not been met, and the contract ends.

  
  

This notice must be delivered in writing by the deadline stated in the Residential Purchase Contract (RPC). If no notice is given by that deadline, the contract automatically falls through.

Why It Matters

The Notice form is more than paperwork—it’s the turning point in the transaction.

• For buyers: Delivering the notice to satisfy or waive conditions finalizes your purchase. This is the moment the deal becomes legally binding and enforceable.

• For sellers: The notice provides certainty that the buyer has completed their due diligence and is fully committed to closing.

• For both parties: It creates a clear record of the decision, eliminating any ambiguity about whether the deal is proceeding.

  
  

Without this form, a deal can collapse—even if both sides intended to move forward.

My Role as Your REALTOR®

I don’t just hand you the Notice form to sign—I guide you through the timing, the wording, and the implications. Here’s how I support you:
