If you’re selling here
Assemble available permits, maintenance history, and property records. Be precise about the use and status of suites or additional accommodation.
If you’re buying here
Test your actual route, speak with an insurer, and ask qualified advisers to interpret relevant flood and property information. Do not infer a parcel’s risk or development potential from a neighbourhood description.
Make the comparison property-specific
Compare ownership type, condition, floor plan, parking and storage rights, access, and the relevant documents. Ask which nearby sales are useful evidence and which differences make others less relevant. A broad neighbourhood average cannot replace that work.
Take these questions to the viewing
