The answer

Treat missing property-specific insurance comfort as a material financing and closing gap. Clarify what information or inspection is missing, whether the lender requires coverage, which property feature creates concern, whether another qualified insurer can review it in time, and whether an extension or different decision is needed. Do not assume coverage will appear after conditions are removed.

Calgary-specific context

Hail or roof age, water or sewer history, older plumbing or wiring, vacancy, wood heat, suites, prior claims, unique replacement cost, condo deductibles, and rural-style features can change a Calgary insurance review.

What to do next

Obtain written property-specific confirmation or identify the unresolved exclusion, deductible, premium, repair requirement, and deadline before proceeding.

Check your financing for the specific property.

A pre-approval is not final financing. Confirm the property, appraisal, insurer, cash to close and lender conditions before deciding whether to remove a financing condition. A planning score cannot authorize a purchase.
