Unit Resales Within RVOP

---

The Virginia Condominium Act (§§ 55.1-1900, et seq., of the Code of Virginia) (the "Act"), generally requires that upon resale of a condominium unit, the unit owners’ association, or its management agent, shall provide the prospective purchaser with a certificate of resale outlining the financial condition of the condominium and describing whether the unit being sold fails in any way to comply with the various instruments and rules and regulations affecting the unit.

Rolling Valley Office Park (i.e., Dominion Green Office Condominium), as a commercial-office condominium complex, is not subject to those provisions of the Act which require providing a prospective purchaser with a certificate of resale or a packet of condominium documents. 

Nevertheless, prospective buyers, as well as interested real estate agents and brokers, and owners and tenants within Rolling Valley Office Park should be uniformly interested in the financial condition of our condominium complex and of the rules and regulations affecting owners and tenants as well as prospective buyers and prospective tenants.

Making that information readily available to all interested parties and their respective representatives, even through not required by the Act, is one of the primary reasons the Board of Directors of Rolling Valley Office Park established this website. However, while the general information about Rolling Valley rules and regulations and the condominium instruments are available on this website, and while individual unit current financial information is available to prospective purchasers, and while general financial information and reports are available on this website, this site does not provide, nor will the Board of Directors provide, information about whether a unit being sold fails to comply with the various instruments and rules and regulations affecting the unit.

Unlike residential condominium projects, commercial office condominiums, such as Rolling Valley Office Park, do not regularly inspect units for compliance issues nor does the association inspect a unit as part of a possible re-sale inquiry.  Therefore, whether a unit is in compliance with the rules, or whether its use, for example, meets Fairfax County zoning requirements, is not information readily available to the Rolling Valley Board Office Park Board of Directors.

Hence, because prospective purchasers and/or prospective tenants will not receive from the Board of Directors information about possible non-compliance issues for any unit under consideration for purchase or lease, prospective buyers and/or tenants and their representatives must exercise their own due diligence in investigating the physical condition and usage associated with any unit being sold, rented or leased. If a matter of noncompliance is self-evident, or it is brought to the attention of the Board of Directors, any such matter will be investigated and corrective action taken. But the Board does not actively inspect units for compliance nor review available documents to assure that a particular unit or business operating within Rolling Valley Office Park meets zoning requirements, has secured a business license, etc.

Questions regarding resale, or complaints about, any unit within Rolling Valley Office Park may be directed to any Board Member.
