Pre-purchase inspection in Rawdon: what matters here
For a recreational property, the inspection accounts for sometimes seasonal use: pipes exposed to freezing, supplementary heating, winter access and the conversion of a cottage into a year-round home.
Cottages converted into permanent homes are common in Rawdon. For these properties, the inspection checks whether insulation, heating and freeze protection suit year-round use.
Pre-purchase inspection: what the inspector checks in Rawdon
The exterior often says as much as the interior. The slope of the lot, the condition of the gutters, the clearance between the ground and the siding and how water drains near the foundation explain many leaks that only show up in the basement.
For a Rawdon property, the inspector checks what makes year-round living possible: primary heat source, freeze protection for pipes, insulation under floors and winter access. A charming cottage in July can be hard to live in come January.
