What should buyers check?
Freelton homes generally depend on a private well and septic system; ask for water test results, septic pump-out records and the system's age, and make testing and inspection a condition of your offer. Homes near Highway 6 can hear truck traffic, so visit at different times. Check the zoning if you plan a workshop, garden suite or home business, and ask about heating costs, since some homes use propane or oil.
