What's different about a country home
Rural homes often depend on private systems that city homes don't. The house is only part of the purchase.
Jon walks you through each system and connects you with trusted inspectors and trades.
- Well: flow rate, water quality and equipment age
- Septic: type, age, last pumping and inspection
- Heating: propane, oil, wood or gas, and what it costs
- Internet and cell coverage at the exact address
- Road type and winter maintenance
- Distance to emergency services and shops

Questions
Common questions
Do I need a well and septic inspection?
Yes, in nearly every rural purchase. They're key parts of your conditions.
Is fibre internet available?
It varies by road. Ask providers about the specific address before you commit.
What about propane tanks?
Some are rented, some owned. Confirm which, and who the supplier is.
