Worth checking
Before you buy on Gravenhurst.
- 01
Ask whether the property is on municipal water and sewer. Some older properties are, which means less to maintain and fewer compliance questions.
- 02
Properties near the rail line may have noise that is not apparent during a weekend showing.
- 03
Some "Muskoka waterfront" listings are on very small lakes. Confirm the water body and how you can use it.
General information. Your home inspector, your lawyer and the township confirm the details on any specific property.
