Buying tips for Springbank Hill

• Check the title. Springbank Hill is made up of many smaller subdivisions, and rules or fees can differ between them. Have your agent review the land title and any registered documents before you firm up.
• Think about the slope. Many homes sit on hillside lots. Walkout basements and views are a plus, but look closely at grading, drainage and retaining walls.
• Compare home ages. Most homes were built in the 2000s, with some newer infill and acreage properties. Ask about roof, furnace and window updates when you compare.
