Investment properties in London, Ontario

Before buying a rental in London, ask the City what the lot allows: many lots can take additional residential units. Then run the numbers on rents you can document, not hope for, and compare the duplexes, triplexes and small buildings listed today.

Can I add units to a London house?

London allows additional residential units on many lots, including some in a separate building. The rules on size, parking and permits are the City's to set, so confirm what a specific lot allows with the City before you count on the extra rent.

What clients say

Brian Hodgson

Rob was great at taking care of all the details, from beginning to end to list and quickly sell my rental property. I really appreciated his friendly, no pressure approach and he was also great at establishing friendly rapport while communicating with my tenants to arrange viewings and photographing the units. All round a good experience!
