If you’re selling here
Build a comparison set around the property’s actual characteristics. Present a clear maintenance and permit file, and investigate unanswered questions about alterations or use before launch.
If you’re buying here
Test routes on foot and review the property with the appropriate specialists. Confirm current school eligibility with the district and planning information with the city instead of relying on proximity or a marketing description.
Make the comparison property-specific
Compare ownership type, condition, floor plan, parking and storage rights, access, and the relevant documents. Ask which nearby sales are useful evidence and which differences make others less relevant. A broad neighbourhood average cannot replace that work.
Take these questions to the viewing
- What about the location changes at different times of day?
- Which property details are supported by records?
- What costs or responsibilities come with this ownership type?
- What remains to be checked before making a decision?
