Test the location against real life
Consider the routes, timings and facilities that affect the buyer’s actual routine. A convenient location for one household may be unsuitable for another.
Useful checks
- Visit at different times and conditions.
- Verify actual travel routes, not only straight-line distance.
- Consider noise, flood, traffic, construction and surrounding land use.
- Distinguish current infrastructure from announced plans.
- Record the assumptions that affect long-term suitability.
