Heritage Hunt Condominium I
SALE OF UNIT

SELLING REMINDER

Unit Owners considering selling or leasing their units are reminded that the Virginia Condominium Act in Section 55-79.97 requires "the seller to obtain from the unit owners' association a resale certificate and provide it to the purchaser", and that the Condo Governing Documents, in turn, include pertinent procedures and requirements, of which some are discussed on the Lease of Condo Unit page. The HOA resale package may be obtained from the HH HOA managing agent and the HHCI resale package may be ordered from the Condo managing agent, both listed on the Condo Board, Committees and Managing Agent page.

As part of the resale package, the Condominium Act requires that a Resale Certificate that includes a statement that any improvements or alterations made to the unit by the prior unit owner are not in violation of the condominium instruments. This necessitates the unit be inspected by the Managing Agent or the Condo Board PRIOR to issuing such Certificate. Therefore, to avoid delays at settlement, it is important to order the resale packages as early as possible and certainly when a sales contract or lease is entered into.

The Rules and Regulations state that Unit Owners may not make any structural additions, alterations, or improvements, including but not limited to any plumbing and electrical changes other than replacing an existing fixture, within their Units or associated Limited Common Elements without the prior written consent of the Condo Board and, if required, the HOA Covenants Committee. They further state that Unit Owners may not install additional wiring in the walls or ceilings of Units without prior written consent of the Condo Board. This includes but is not limited to wiring for radios, televisions, other electronic devices, heat lamps in bathrooms, and recessed lighting.

The above means that, should a unit have any questionable additions, alterations, or improvements, the issues need to be resolved well BEFORE settlement to avoid delays. When in doubt, the simplest solution is to submit a change application to the Legal and Covenants Committee. If the change is deemed acceptable through this process, all is well; if not, the additions, alterations, or improvements will need to be removed and the unit restored to its previous state and condition.

When anticipating leasing a unit, note that Condo Governing Documents require that a copy of the executed lease be provided to the Condo Board at least 10 days prior to occupancy under the lease, that the tenant be given current copies of both HOA and Condo Association Governing Documents, and that the tenant comply with the age requirements of the Heritage Hunt Community.

LOCK BOXES

Lock box racks are located at the basement level of the SOUTH stairwells of each building. Access is from either the south exterior entrance or from the garage.

We ask the cooperation of Realtors listing units in our condo in using these lock box racks instead of the hand railings at the main entrances.
