I have a wonderful Heritage Home listed for sale right now, built in 1885 & full of beautiful original details. I admired the house from afar long before I met the family who has lived there for over 40yrs.
One of the most common comments I hear when people find out that it's a designated heritage property is "oh, so you can't make any changes to it"... and that's just not true.
In this particular home there is a list of features which are protected under the designation, and those features
I was watching the news last week when a segment came on about Radon Gas & the latest awareness campaign around it when it comes to our homes.
I must admit that I didn't know that much about it & I was curious as to why it was suddenly in the media again. In my line of work it's important to keep up-to-date on issues affecting the homes in our area. Being able to direct my clients to resources & professionals in various fields so that they can make the most informed decisions possible is key to protecting their interests.
What is Radon?
Radon is a colourless, odourless gas that can seep up from the ground into your basement if you live in an area with a high concentration of uranium. Uranium is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, soil & water.
