Before you decide

Look beyond the address.

  1. Verify the actual energy and cooling arrangements for the building.
  2. Check which shops, facilities and paths are operating nearby.
  3. Compare completed projects with proposed phases in the wider masterplan.

For a useful price comparison, use recent evidence for the same project and property type. An asking price, a completed transaction and an advertised rental return are different measures.
