First questions for a Brock arrival
In the three villages, ask whether the property is connected to municipal water and sewer, because service areas do not reach every street and a lot on the edge of a village may still rely on a well and septic. In the countryside, ask for the well record and a recent water test, the age and location of the septic system, and whether the township or the region plows the road in winter. Along Lake Simcoe, ask about spring water levels and ice damage, and whether any shoreline structures were permitted through the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. Older village houses were often built before insulation standards, so ask about the attic, the wiring and whether the basement takes water. The Miller team can arrange a showing within days of a listing appearing, which matters when a well-priced house draws attention from buyers across York and Durham.
