What We Look For in New Westminster Homes
New Westminster has the oldest and most architecturally diverse housing stock in Metro Vancouver, from century-old Queens Park heritage homes with rubble stone foundations to newer flood-plain construction in Queensborough. Home age here varies more by neighbourhood than almost anywhere else we work.
Protected HeritageQueens Park Homes
Queens Park's Heritage Conservation Area protects over 300 pre-1941 homes. Many have rubble stone or early unreinforced concrete foundations, knob-and-tube wiring, and lead paint. We check structural condition, electrical and plumbing systems, and document past renovation quality carefully.
Workers' CottagesSapperton's Historic Core
Sapperton's early-1900s workers' cottages are more modest than Queens Park homes but carry similar age-related considerations. We check foundation condition, older mechanical systems, and signs of past renovations completed without permits.
Flood Plain ConstructionQueensborough New Builds
Queensborough's flood plain designation means new construction sits above the Flood Construction Level with crawlspaces rather than full basements. We check crawlspace moisture and drainage as part of every Queensborough inspection.
High-Rise CondosDowntown & the Quay
Downtown and the waterfront Quay have significant condo tower development. For strata units, we review accessible common areas like roofs, parking levels, and mechanical rooms alongside the unit itself.
