7 Things Buyers Should Look For When Inspecting a Property

I’m always happy to pass on great info...and this is great info! I’ve included a few snippets below lifted from the full article.

1. Location and lifestyle - You want to be close to lifestyle attractions such shops and cafes, parks and transport. But you don’t want to be too close to ugly, potentially dangerous or noisy things like petrol stations, industrial buildings, train tracks or busy roads.

2. Liveability - Test how long it takes to walk from the property to various services such as the train station or shops. “You can add about 20 per cent to the price of a property if it’s within a short walk of the local shopping strip.

3. Aspect: let there be light! - Aspect is crucial. You want your living room and your back garden to face north or north-west so you get plenty of natural light year-round. Get your compass out and check the aspect and turn the lights off to see how much natural light enters the home.

4. Noise - Inspecting the property at different times of the day, and at least once at night, so you can assess noise (and lighting) at various times of the day.
