Exposure changes maintenance
Salt, wind and weather can affect external materials, windows, roofs, metalwork and gardens. Ask a surveyor to focus on exposed elements.
Test access throughout the year
Parking, visitor pressure, public transport, winter services and local amenities may feel different outside the main season.
Review use and restrictions
Second home use, holiday letting, insurance, planning and local restrictions require current checks with the relevant professional advisers.
Look beyond the view
A strong outlook can carry a premium, but layout, condition, access and future resale demand still matter.
Understand the micro location
One street can differ from the next through exposure, elevation, traffic, flood risk, beach access and the availability of everyday services.
