Buying a Home in Port Coquitlam
- Plan your commute. With no SkyTrain in PoCo, check drive times, bus routes and the West Coast Express schedule from the homes you like.
- Look at lot and suite potential. Many established neighbourhoods have larger lots and homes with suites; confirm what is legal with the City before you rely on rental income.
- Read the strata documents. For condos and townhouses, review the depreciation report, recent minutes and any planned levies before you write an offer.
- Check flood information near the rivers. For homes close to the Fraser, Pitt or Coquitlam rivers, ask about flood-plain information and insurance.
