The homes
What should you check before buying in Marigold?
These are the items that most often change a buyer’s decision, or the price, in Marigold.
01Building age and updates. Many homes here date from the 1950s to the 1980s. Ask about the roof, windows, electrical, plumbing and any oil tank history, and get a full inspection.
02Suites and garden suites. Saanich allows secondary suites and garden suites in many single-family zones, subject to rules and permits. Confirm the zoning, and that any existing suite is permitted, before counting on rental income.
03Trees and lot changes. Saanich regulates the removal of larger trees. If you plan to add on, build a garden suite or clear part of the lot, check the tree rules first.
04Traffic and noise. Homes on or near Burnside Road West, Tillicum Road and Carey Road trade convenience for traffic. Visit at rush hour before you buy.
05Permits. Additions, suites, decks and renovations should have permit records; unpermitted work can affect financing and insurance.
