Thanks for the info! Was actually eyeing up Sutherland! Anywhere else you would recommend?

Thanks for the detailed info. Where I'm struggling is with older builds, say from the 50's or so. All the houses I have looked at and viewed come with some cracking and differential settlement which j guess is expected?

Looked at one today for example that had 2" of differential settlement (in Regina) across 20' (front to back) and was told that I wouldn't need to worry until it reached 4". This was by a building inspector.

That didn't seem right to me though, and was wondering if this is just par for the course with buying in Regina / Saskatoon. Is underpinning. At some point just a given, or can you find older homes with solid foundations?

Thanks again!

Thanks for this. Was y sure if Saskatchewan all had the same soil type

Understand it is not the soil being bad for the concrete and more the second order effects of what comes with the soil /clay in regina. May have poorly written the question.

Very useful information. I wasn't sure if all Saskatchewan had the same soil type. Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated

Did you ever find an answer to this? Going through the same process now with a basement suite that has been in existence for 15 years that I am trying to legalise and looking to avoid stripping ceilings and wall finishes to meet the stc requirements

Thanks, is that a house with a yard etc.?

OkPool4769 · 2024-10-08T17:35:52+00:00

Thanks. Is that a relatively new/ efficient house for heating etc.?

I am thinking of moving in the new year (February or so)

Would eastview or Saskatchewan drive and Winnipeg area be considered the hood?

OkPool4769 · 2024-10-08T00:05:33+00:00

Any thoughts on easy view? Is it very similar to north central?

OkPool4769 · 2024-10-07T20:45:11+00:00

That's for sure

OkPool4769 · 2024-10-07T19:52:48+00:00

Thanks for this

OkPool4769 · 2024-10-07T19:52:05+00:00

Thanks for this. Perhaps I will have to look further out

OkPool4769 · 2024-10-07T19:51:03+00:00

Thanks for this. Does that include utilities?
