Your comparison
Four checks for your next home.
A duplex is a layout, not a guarantee of size, views or outdoor space.
- Layout
- Make both levels work
Check stairs, bedroom positions, storage and how furniture fits. Ask for a dimensioned floor plan.
- Building
- Look beyond the front door
Compare lifts, parking, maintenance, shared facilities and everyday access. Visit at different times.
- Costs
- Plan the full commitment
Request the asking price, service charges, transaction costs and likely maintenance. Check financing separately.
- Use
- A home or an investment
For your own home, test daily comfort. For a rental, compare realistic income with vacancy and all owner costs.
Evidence to check: DLD property status enquiry ↗. Compare dated records with the individual property.
A closer look
Outdoor space needs its own inspection.
A balcony or terrace is property-specific. Check privacy, shading, drainage, permitted use and maintenance responsibilities; confirm what is included in the title and sale.
