- According to the APQ, in 2014 there were approximately 900 radon tests carried out in Quebec . In comparison, in 2021 , there were nearly 20,000 tests carried out, 4 times more than in 2019, which shows that people are increasingly concerned about it. ( I mixed up your two sentences: QC or CAN ?)
- The ACSTR recommendation is clear on this: a long-term RADON test should be performed. See https://carst.ca/for-Real-Estate#RealEstateAgent
- What does the OACIQ recommend?
- Before putting a property up for sale, the broker must inquire about the existence or not of a radon test (see DV, in the Inspection reports and appraisals section, articles 13.2 and 12.2 in older forms). If applicable, if mitigation measures have been carried out, the broker must validate their effectiveness and provide the buyer with the relevant information, such as the laboratory report.
- The broker may suggest to the buyer that the promise to purchase be made conditional on the performance of a radon test, whether by a specialized company or by the buyer himself. If a long-term RADON test is required by the buyer, the broker may and should recommend making the promise conditional on the seller depositing an amount in trust with the notary (standard clause 3.21 Radon measurement test). The costs are the seller's responsibility.
