Your documents stop at the property line.
The minutes will tell you the roof was replaced in 2021. They will never tell you what is being built next door, how far the nearest school is, or whether the building sits in a mapped floodplain. Location Insights scores nine areas around the building from public BC data — and shows you every record behind the number.

Nine areas, scored
Transit, schools, hazard, amenities, crime, infrastructure, development, demographics and change — each scored out of 100.
The records, not just the score
Which schools were counted and how far. Which station, and how frequent. Which projects are under construction nearby, and when they finish.
Gaps named, never guessed
An area with no measurement says so. A dataset that does not reach the municipality is reported as missing — never scored as a zero.
The corporation's own record
Plan number, addresses, storeys, management company, and whether a depreciation report exists.
In beta for BC strata corporations, where coverage is still expanding. Scores measure a building’s surroundings — not its finances — and are reference only.
