Living on four levels
A four-level split puts the kitchen half a flight from the bedrooms and the family room half a flight down. Families like the separation; some buyers find the stairs tiring. Many owners open up the main level during renovations, so check what has been changed and whether it was permitted.

Renovation permits
- Count the stairs between levels if anyone in the home has mobility needs.
- Ask about original windows and the roof.
- Check the lowest level for moisture.
- Ask whether walls have been moved, and whether a permit was pulled.
What to inspect
Interior changes such as opening a wall do not need a development permit unless they change the number of dwellings, but a basement development does need a permit. Many splits have a deck off the family room; a new one may need a deck permit.
Listing a split-level
