Access through the seasons
Ask how the property is reached and maintained in winter. Clarify parking, snow removal, private roads and any shared responsibilities with the relevant providers or association.
The work behind the weekend
Heating, roof care, drainage and routine maintenance deserve attention. Ask qualified inspectors and service providers to explain property-specific needs and the limits of what they can verify.
Condominium and association details
Read the current governing documents, financial information, meeting records and disclosures. Confirm parking rights, storage, assessments and rules that affect your intended use.
Your time away
A home that sits empty for periods needs a plan. Consider who will check the property, respond to issues and prepare it for your arrival. Confirm available services and costs directly.
A clear record of open questions
Separate what has been documented from what remains an assumption. Review unresolved issues with your real estate team and appropriate specialists before making a decision.
