How to choose the right neighbourhood

How to choose the right neighbourhood

· 3 min read

Start with your daily routine: how long can your commute be, and by which transport? Test the route at rush hour before you decide.

Think about what you need within cycling distance — groceries, schools, sport, green space — and visit the area on a weekday evening and on a weekend to feel the difference.

Compare price per square metre across neighbourhoods, and consider nearby development plans, which can change an area quickly.

Tell our assistant or an agent what matters most and we will shortlist areas and homes that fit.
