Selling A Cottage
When it comes to listing and successfully selling a cottage, there are a few golden rules. The team at Elder Real Estate Group shares these 5 key points with an eye to helping you prepare for the process.
1
Refer to your survey and check where the property boundaries are located. Also check that the setback from the waterline complies with shoreline regulations for docks, piers, and water breaks.
2
Be prepared to provide details regarding water potability may include details on the well depth and flow, sand point, and water pump.
3
Documentation regarding the septic tank, septic bed, including their related drawings, should be available. Any history regarding pre-existing septic systems on the property (if applicable), should also be available.
4
Cottage owners should be able to provide details regarding the road allowance for accessing the cottage. This document should include any maintenance agreements and registered rights of way.
5
Cottage insurance policies differ from standard homeowner’s insurance. Provide a list of any essential insurance details, including limitations related to heating and electrical connections.
