An outdoor pool in this climate is a seasonal pleasure with a year-round bill. Ask whether it is heated, what heats it, and how many months it is genuinely open. Most of the homes for sale with a pool sit on larger lots in West Vancouver, North Vancouver, South Surrey and the British Properties, where the yard absorbs a pool, a deck and the setbacks without swallowing the whole outdoor space.

Read the MLS® listing for the sqft of the lot as well as the house. A pool takes buildable area out of play, so confirm what would remain if you ever wanted an addition. Ask the listing agent for the install year, the liner or gunite type, and whether the pump, heater and any hot tub are included in the sale.

Check the Equipment, the Fencing and the Yearly Cost

Have the pool inspected separately from the house. A standard inspection in Vancouver real estate transactions usually excludes it, so hire a specialist to look at the pump, filter, heater, liner and any leak history. Ask for the past two seasons of service invoices along with the opening and closing records.

Then ask about the rules and the money. Confirm that fencing and gate latching meet your municipality's requirements, ask your insurer what a pool does to the premium, and budget for chemicals, power, water and a seasonal service contract. In a strata or a gated neighbourhood, read the bylaws before you assume the pool stays exactly as you found it.
