A property comparison table that improves decisions

Put shortlisted properties in one table using consistent criteria, then prioritise what actually matters to you. One feature, such as a view, should not automatically offset a missing essential like accessibility. Eliminate unsuitable options before spending time on lengthy negotiations.

Practical steps

1. Record total cost, net area, recurring charges and handover date for each property
2. Separate verified information from estimates and items still awaiting review
3. Test your choice by asking whether it still works without its most attractive feature

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
