There are three critical factors to consider when buying a cottage on the lake, a cabin in the woods, or ocean-side real estate on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. These properties are not connected to municipal services and need extra scrutiny when considering a purchase. This means you need to inspect things like the heating, water, and sewage disposal systems, which have a high cost with which many buyers are unfamiliar.
Join Scott Lissa, a realtor who focuses on helping people like you relocate to Vancouver Island, as he walks you through the process of buying rural property and the most important factors to consider.

As a building inspector, I have been trying to educate people for the past 11 years. I am lost for words when people purchase a property without any conditions especially Inspections for both New construction and Old. We are not talking chump change for real estate In British Columbia. It's amazing how the majority of society looks at a new property and says they don't need an inspection it's a Brand new Home. Think about what makes that new home? The materials are new. The workmanship needs to be inspected. There are three things in life we spend the most money on but they are the most neglected. 1 of those 3 things are Homes. Do you want to pay for someone's neglect? Have the upper hand and protect yourself by hiring a reputable inspection company.

The crazy thing is, you can generally renegotiate the price based off the findings of an inspection. Also, the inspection findings allows you to call other professionals to give quotes to replacing roofs, plumbing, etc. If highlighted in the inspection report. I agree with your comment above entirely

Exactly! there is much more everyone needs to know about the topics of homes and how they are built, especially new homes today. @@Nanaimore thanks for the video.

Hello friend!!!! I’ve been watching your videos since December of last year, and noticed that you are not posting any new content. You are doing great in presenting Nanaimo to newcomers and I would like to encourage you to continue and add more content about new construction in area, and how mortgage loans works at BC. Here is a family that maybe is moving from USA 🇺🇸 to Canada 🇨🇦 and Nanaimo is in our list thanks to you.

I’ll be posting some new videos soon. Happily I do have two young children that I’ve been spending a lot of time with over the last few months. I love making these videos. It’s like a second time job and it takes away from my family time. I greatly appreciate the encouragement and thank you for enjoying and commenting on the videos

From years of experience I have come to develop 7 crucial criteria one should follow when considering buying a rural property. So in addition to what is covered here in this video make sure to do the following: HOUSE INSPECTION, SEPTIC INSPECTION, WELL DRILLING RECORD, WELL INSPECTION, WELL WATER TEST, RESEARCH AQUIFER, and PRIVATE STRUCTURE INSPECTION (Ie: BRIDGE, CULVERT)

Very nicely produced. Vancouver Island is my dream place to live (live in Ontario now), though if it actually can manifest is another matter.

Another good video, but I think you're a little low on the number for the septic inspection and pumpout. I shopped around for these last year, and we ended up paying about $700 for just the inspection. Seller 'should' pay for the pumpout (it's their poop!) -- which they did in our case -- but our realtor said that was very rare in his experience. If you're paying for that too, it's about another $700.

Call me crazy but didn’t I put in the video that the inspection was going to be between $700 and $800. And I completely agree, it usually is the responsibility of the sellers to pay for the pump out of the septic system. Keep in mind facilitating the agreement between a contractor to pump the system and then inspect it and bill two separate parties can be somewhat of a headache.

@@scottlissa6433 6:18 "Having the tank pumped and then the septic system and field inspected costs around $800 give or take -- it actually depends upon the disposal cost of the materials they pump out of the tank". Agreed that that's actually 2 different contractors and 2 different bills. About $700 each in our case, but the buyer did pay for pumpout. Our veteran realtor said that they always ask the seller to pay for the pumpout, but that they virtually never agree to do so. Another excellent video though. Where are you when you're peering over the edge a the river below?

@@Nanaimore great to hear! My wife and I are avid viewers. We currently live in Ottawa but are planning on relocating to Vancouver Island in the next few years. Your videos have been really helpful in pointing us towards Nanaimo. When visiting my father last year in Duncan we spent a week in Nanaimo looking at neighborhoods. Will definitely contact you when we make the move.
