What to compare
- Compare the exact micro-area and route you will use.
- For older homes, review heating, windows, roof and past alterations.
- Test peak-time commute and local access rather than relying on a map only.
Property-specific viewing priorities
- Heating and insulation by property age
- Roof / drainage / alteration condition
- Parking, broadband and commute
The postcode does not tell you everything.
Street, building, management arrangements, property age, alteration history, orientation, parking and the route you actually use can change the experience significantly. Keep the candidate home as the unit of decision.
