The answer

Confirm lawyer signing and funds, lender and insurance readiness, title and adjustment questions, utilities, condo or HOA notice, movers or elevator, walkthrough time and scope, repairs and inclusions, key-release authority, keys and fobs, first-night needs, weather fallback, and who to contact for damage, missing items, delayed funding, or access problems.

Calgary-specific context

Calgary winter weather, condo move rules, utility timing, property-tax adjustments, incomplete repairs, and key-release authorization can turn a vague move plan into a preventable closing problem.

What to do next

Run the closing and possession planner and give every remaining item an owner, written confirmation, deadline, and fallback.

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.
