Cities, coastal or properties in villages with good panoramic view,
generally out perform other areas.
The combination of good urban planning and natural beauty also result in
desirable locations.
Consider growth areas with good access to local facilities and avoid
environmental problems such as areas with busy roads or noisy factories/
industries nearby.
Once you have decided on your location the next question is what to buy.
Make a list of what is important to you – number of bedrooms, car access,
size of land – but be prepared to compromise on some things.
Consider if you are prepared to renovate, if so, the worst house in the best
street could be a good buy.
Look for at least one special feature, maybe it is a view, a large backyard,
a designer interior or original historical features.
