Prime is a description that needs supporting characteristics. The property behind the label should be assessed independently of a broad forecast for premium homes.
Identify the attributes
Examine location, outlook, layout, privacy, specification and condition. Distinguish documented or observable features from promotional language.
Review the ownership case
Obtain running costs and consider the likely use and eventual buyer audience. Compare credible alternatives. A premium label does not remove maintenance obligations, price risk or the need to understand the terms of purchase.
