Property Information / Re: Sarnia
« on: August 05, 2007, 10:23:02 PM »
I've been doing some research into these properties and got to speak to someone who'd actually been inside 1974 Wayne in Sarnia, here's what I found....
1974 Wayne - has been vacant for approximately 2 years. Has nice curb appeal, and the roof was redone in the past 6 months, (that's the good news), the bad news is apparently there was some major leaking in the house (as in about a foot of water in the basement - their words not mine), and with the hydro cut off the sump pump wasn't working, as a result there is apparently black mold from floor to ceiling. This guy said all the drywall (floors and ceilings) would pretty much have to be torn out. He didn't know if that included the kitchen and bathroom though as he didn't see that. So I guess you have to wonder why they decided to put a new roof on it if they were going to let it go for tax sale. The message I got was the inside didn't match the outside. The other thing he said is that neighbourhood is nice to live in but because its so small no telcom company will bring in high speed internet - no way no how. This guy lives in that community is its his biggest bug about it (that and the fact that he often has to go just out of the immediate area to get a cell phone signal). He said you sometimes do get a smell from the chemical plants but he's learned to live with it and didn't feel it was a big problem.
Good luck
