Confirm ALR status and zoning. Check the ALC map and ask the City of Abbotsford how the property is zoned and what that allows.
Test the water. If the home is on a well, test how much water it gives and how clean it is, and ask for past test results.
Inspect the septic. Find out how old the system is and when it was last serviced, and have it inspected.
Check the outbuildings. Ask whether barns, shops, arenas and suites were built with permits.
Read the title. Look for any rules or rights that others have over the land (covenants, rights of way and easements), including any access you rely on.
Check for streams. Rules about how close you can build to a stream can limit where you build. Ask the City of Abbotsford about any watercourse on or near the land.
