Have You Checked Out the Key Changes to the 2023 BCREA Standard Forms?

As of November 15, the new and revised standard forms and clauses are now available on CREA WEBForms®. Some of the key changes included in this launch include:

  • The addition of a new counterparts term;
  • New heritage and archaeological questions in the Property Disclosure Statements;
  • A new Releasing Trust Account Deposit Funds Clause;
  • The use of additional language to provide greater clarity; and
  • Housekeeping and formatting updates.

These were drafted in response to requests from the profession and key stakeholders, and they reflect regulatory and practice requirements.
