We are lucky in Ottawa to be surrounded by so many small towns and farm communities! However, there are a few extra things to consider when buying a rural home. For some, buying a rural property could be the dream - less traffic, fresh air, and the ability to see the stars at night are just a few of the reasons why. (Hobby farm, anyone?!)

Some of the big questions: Do you know the difference between being on a municipal sewer system and being on a personal septic system?  Are you comfortable being on well water? Can we confirm the well won’t dry?  How about veering away from natural gas and heating with oil or propane? What is garbage collection like in this rural neighbourhood? What about snow removal? Is the internet and phone service reliable? Have you considered that rural living may come with some extra expenses such as transportation, maintenance, and (potentially) increases in insurance, utilities, and land taxes?

We can make sure all of these questions are answered together so you can make the best decision for your future and protect your investment.
