General guidance only. Every property differs, and you may need the City or your lawyer to confirm some answers.
- 1
Is the basement unit legal?
Many Brampton homes have a basement apartment. If rental income matters to you, ask whether the unit is registered with the City of Brampton as an additional residential unit, and confirm it with the City before you rely on that income.
- 2
What have similar homes sold for?
Sellers set asking prices high or low on purpose. Recent sales of similar homes nearby, with the same type, size, lot and condition, give you a truer guide to value.
- 3
How will you get around?
Commutes vary across the city. Check rush-hour drive times, bus routes and the distance to a GO station on the Kitchener line, such as Mount Pleasant or Bramalea.
- 4
Which schools serve the address?
School boundaries do not always follow neighbourhood names. Confirm the schools for the exact address with the Peel District School Board or the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.
- 5
What is planned nearby?
Builders often have plans for the fields and empty lots near newer subdivisions. The City of Brampton publishes planning applications; read them before you buy.
