What to know before you buy
- Most lakefront homes in the area are on a private well and septic system. Make your offer conditional on water quality and quantity tests and a septic inspection.
- Ask about the shoreline: is there a dock, how deep is the water and is it suitable for swimming or boats? Check with HRM and Nova Scotia Environment before planning any shoreline work.
- Lake frontage, the view and how gently the lot slopes to the water all affect value. Compare similar frontage when you look at prices.
- Check insurance early, especially for older homes or homes with an oil tank.
