Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.

Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
