SEPARATE ACCESS FROM INSPECTION SCOPE
Use S1 and S2 from existing records. Reported unit/shared labels are questions to confirm, not ownership findings.
Real Estate & Property · FREE PREPARATION PACK
Condo inspection boundary and access-gap workbook
A management contact may arrange access to a space without that space being included in the inspector's engagement. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai keeps those two questions separate, then connects them to what the inspection report actually covers. Use it to discuss unit and shared-space gaps without deciding ownership, repair responsibility or property condition.

Preparation only, not an inspection, safety or condition assessment, ownership or association-duty determination, reserve study, repair instruction, purchase recommendation, contract interpretation or legal advice. Do not enter restricted spaces, open panels, test systems or seek access through this worksheet. Keep addresses, resident details, entry codes and private building records out.

How to use this resource
Assign neutral labels S1 and S2 to spaces or system areas already mentioned in your records. Do not visit restricted areas, operate equipment or investigate a boundary. Record whether an existing document describes the area as unit, shared or unclear, with its reference; this is not a legal classification. Ask the appropriate parties who can arrange permission, and ask the inspector separately whether the area is in the written scope. After the visit, match each label to the report and the inspector's stated examined, not examined or unclear status. Keep a missing report reference open. For an unexamined item, record the stated reason and ask whether clarification, records or a separately agreed service is appropriate. A later appointment or management reply does not by itself establish that an inspection occurred. Copy the space and follow-up pages when more entries are needed.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
FOLLOW AN UNEXAMINED SPACE
Link the report to the earlier space label. Do not infer an examination from an access reply or appointment.
CHECK UNIT AND SHARED-SPACE GAPS
Tick what is organized. These checks do not establish inspection coverage, property condition or access rights.
QUESTIONS FOR THE CONDO INSPECTOR
Ask about boundaries and evidence of coverage, not a promise that every shared component will be inspected.
COMPARE THE SAME SPACE-BOUNDARY LIST
Give Inspectors A and B the same neutral space questions. Resolve scope differences before comparing totals.

Home Inspection preparation checklist
- Use neutral space labels from existing records without entering or investigating an area.
- Keep reported unit, shared or unclear descriptions tied to a source reference.
- Ask who can arrange permission rather than assuming a unit visit grants building access.
- Record inspector-agreed scope separately from management access arrangements.
- Match each space label to the report and inspector-stated examination status.
- Treat missing or ambiguous report references as open questions.
- Link each unexamined item to its reason, next contact and separately agreed follow-up.
- Keep ownership, association duties, repairs and purchase decisions with the appropriate professionals.
Questions for the condo inspector
- How will you describe the unit and any shared-space boundaries in this particular written scope?
- Which management or other-party access confirmations do you need, and what remains outside the engagement even if accessible?
- How will the report distinguish examined, excluded, inaccessible and otherwise unexamined areas?
- How should available building records be referenced without treating a record as your inspection of that area?
- If an area is not examined, how do clarification, another visit and separately agreed specialist work differ?
- How will follow-up reports refer to the original gap, and which limitations and separate-work terms remain?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
