03What must still be verified at the property?
Identify address-specific water, drainage, slope, noise, traffic, construction, fire, environmental or insurance questions relevant to the Killarney/Glengarry property; do not generalize an exposure to every home.

Why this guide exists
Two nearby addresses can belong to different physical, legal and buyer comparison sets.
Killarney/Glengarry is an inner-city market where established housing, renovation and redevelopment can create distinct comparison sets on neighbouring streets.
Frontage, orientation, land use, build quality, effective age and surrounding redevelopment often matter more than one community-wide average.

The Killarney/Glengarry signature frameworkFour property files that deserve separate attention.
File 1Start with the parcel
Confirm dimensions, orientation, grade, access, easements, restrictive instruments and current land use before treating redevelopment potential as part of value.
File 2Reconstruct effective age
Use permits, plans, invoices, inspections and observable systems to separate original construction, additions, renovation and replacement-home work.
File 3Read the immediate block
Neighbouring forms, active applications, lane conditions, traffic exposure, trees, privacy and construction activity can change the experience between nearby streets.
File 4Build the right comparison
Original homes, renovated properties, attached infills and newer detached builds are not automatic substitutes. Normalize land, finished product, parking, condition and documentation.

- Confirm the current municipal land-use designation, permit history, approved plans and any nearby application for the exact Killarney/Glengarry address.
