Ask the seller before you book the inspection

These questions cost nothing to ask and tell you where to point your inspector. Ask for receipts where work was done.

Ask aboutWhy it matters on the plateau
When the roof was last replaced, and with whatA roof from the original build may be due. Replacing one on a large house is a large cost.
The age of the windows and skylightsFailed seals show as fog between the panes. Ask whether any have been replaced.
The furnace, air conditioning and hot water tankEach has a working life. Ask for the install dates and service records.
The water pipesAsk what the supply pipes are made of and whether they have been replaced. Your inspector can check what is visible.
Drainage and retaining wallsHillside lots rely on drainage. Ask about any water in the basement, ever, and look at the walls that hold the ground back.
The suite, if there is oneAsk for the City building permit. Without one, the suite is unauthorized.

This is general guidance. Hire a licensed home inspector for the house you are buying.

Suites on the plateau

Many of these large houses have a basement suite. The suite chart in the figures above shows how many current listings describe theirs as legal and how many as unauthorized.

The City of Coquitlam says every secondary suite needs a building permit to be legal, and that an owner found with an illegal suite must make it legal or remove it and can be fined. If you are counting on rent to help pay the mortgage, ask your lender how they will treat the suite, and get a quote for making it legal before you remove subjects.
