The answer

Give the insurer or broker the actual property, intended occupancy, purchase and possession dates, roof and system information, known inspection findings, prior-loss information available to you, condo or suite context, and lender requirements. Ask what remains conditional, what documents are required, the quoted deductibles and limits, and whether written confirmation can be issued before the deadline.

Calgary-specific context

Calgary hail, older roofs and systems, flood or water context, condo deductibles, suites, vacancy, and property-specific underwriting can matter even when the buyer has a general insurance relationship.

What to do next

Use the insurance and climate-risk planner, keep the financing and insurance decisions aligned, and obtain transaction-specific advice before changing or removing a condition.

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.
