Greater Victoria has one of Canada's most desirable coastlines, with waterfront homes ranging from Oak Bay beachfront estates to harbour-view condos and quiet inlet cottages. Waterfront buyers are paying for views, access and lifestyle, and each shoreline comes with its own considerations.

What to know before you buy
Waterfront purchases often involve foreshore rights, riparian setbacks, erosion and sea-level considerations, septic or sewer details, insurance and heritage restrictions. Mike helps you ask the right questions and line up inspections and specialists early.
