Re:		
		(the "Property")

Purchaser:	

1.	A Real Property Report is a survey of a property by a registered Land Surveyor whereby the surveyor certifies the following information:

	(a)	the property limits and measurements;
	(b)	the location of any buildings on the property and particulars of any encroachments of those buildings on adjoining lands;
	(c)	encroachments of any buildings from adjoining lands;
	(d)	particulars of the sideyards;
	(e)	location of all registered Easements which affect the property.

An older report shows the physical characteristics of the Property as at the date of the Report, and it will not show any new construction on the Property or on the adjoining lands.  Any such new construction may be an encroachment or a contravention of municipal building requirements which could adversely affect the value of the Property or result in expense should you be required to remove an encroachment or comply with municipal building or zoning requirements.  In addition, an older Surveyor's Certificate may not show the location of registered Easements which affect the Property.  Saskatchewan Land Surveyors claim copyright protection with respect to Real Property Reports.
	
2.	A building information abstract/siting certificate/zoning memorandum/compliance certificate, may be available through the municipality.  These documents will confirm the zoning applicable to the Property.  They may identify whether required building and electrical permits were obtained for work such as basement renovation or garage construction, and identify any non-compliance with building or fire codes.  They may identify whether additions conform with local zoning bylaws.  A Surveyor's Certificate/Real Property Report must be presented to obtain certain of these documents.

3.	Goods and Services Tax is payable with respect to our fee, but not with respect to certain exempt disbursements we incur as agent on your behalf.  We request that you confirm our appointment as your agent in this regard.

	It is recommended that you obtain a current Real Property Report and applicable building information abstract/siting certificate/zoning memorandum/compliance certificate for the Property.

I/We have read and understand the foregoing and instruct our solicitors as follows:

1.	_____	To obtain on our behalf a new Real Property Report.
_____	I/We will rely on the existing Surveyor's Certificate and do not wish to obtain a Real Property Report.
_____	I/We do not wish to obtain a Real Property Report.

2.	_____	To obtain on my/our behalf the applicable building information abstract/siting certificate/zoning memorandum/compliance certificate. 
	_____	I/We do not wish to obtain a building information abstract/siting certificate/zoning memorandum/compliance certificate. 

3.	Further, I/we confirm the appointment of our solicitor as agent for the purpose of incurring disbursements necessary to this acquisition and/or mortgaging of the Property.

Dated:
