Property Tips
- Location is a very important factor in the price determination process. For example, a plot of land located directly on the beach will be much more expensive than another plot of the same size, having a sea view from the distance or a mountains view.
- With the increase in the size of a land plot increases the price (for the same location).
- Consider building quality and raw materials. For example, flat slim constructing, an American kitchen and marble floors.
- High/low level finish affects a property price.
