Inspections in Cowichan Valley
The Cowichan Valley covers Duncan and a wide spread of rural and acreage property around it. Buyers here are often looking at older farmhouses, homes that have been extended more than once, and properties that came with outbuildings.
Outbuildings, long driveways, detached garages and workshops all fall inside what a buyer usually wants looked at, so the scope of a Cowichan inspection needs to be agreed before I arrive. Valley drainage is its own subject: low-lying ground, seasonal water and watercourses nearby all change how a site handles rain.
Cowichan Valley has a range of property types and ages. During an inspection, I help clients understand significant conditions, maintenance concerns and areas that may require further investigation.
My job is to help you understand the condition of the property you're considering — not simply provide a list of defects.
What I watch for here
Site drainage on low-lying and valley-bottom ground
Crawlspaces, foundations and evidence of past movement
Additions and renovations completed to differing standards
Outbuildings, where included in the agreed scope
Local inspection considerations
older homes rural and acreage properties drainage crawlspaces roofs foundations additions and renovations outbuildings where applicable
Wells, septic systems and cisterns sit outside a standard inspection. I will tell you clearly what I could and could not evaluate, and where a specialist is the right next call.
