What to compare
- Compare the exact estate and street, not only the town name.
- Older and newer homes can need very different survey/snagging attention.
- Test the real commute, parking, broadband and everyday routes.
Property-specific viewing priorities
- Roof / windows / heating condition on older homes
- Snagging, warranties and estate handover on newer homes
- Parking, management arrangements and broadband
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.
