A practical test would be to follow the same groups beyond July rather than decide from one month. If renovated properties continue to sell sooner within comparable districts and categories, while the asking-to-sold difference remains near 2.8%, selectivity becomes a stronger explanation. If...

Before debating condition percentages, is it vacant, owner-occupied or leased? If leased, the remaining lease length and terms could matter more than dated finishes. I’d also want to know whether “townhouse” means fully independent costs or service charges within a wider development. Parking...

Document versioning deserves its own test. Use two similarly named drafts, change a key detail, and see whether the transaction record clearly identifies the current one. An integration that transfers files without their version history can create a cleaner-looking but less reliable workflow.

Before the deadline, send three concrete alternatives: specified repairs before closing, an acceptable credit subject to lender approval, or a price reduction. Ask the lender how each affects financing proof and any appraisal gap. Separately, confirm what happens to your deposit if no agreement...

On the yield point, the service-charge papers could change the picture more than the dated finishes. You need to distinguish costs recoverable from an occupier from those retained by the owner, then look for planned building works or exceptional contributions. A visually acceptable flat can...

Was the completed sale in the same building or merely nearby, and how recent was it? Also, does either unit include parking, a balcony or terrace? Those items should be separated rather than buried in the €/m² figure. I would also confirm the measured internal area and tenure. If any lease term...

Fair point on financing. My caveat is that someone with construction knowledge may naturally spend too much time refining renovation estimates while giving less attention to ownership documents, occupancy, management responsibilities, and local legal questions. A simple checklist with separate...

With limited reading time, the intended use should narrow the subject before the data does. First clarify whether “duplex” refers to two separate units or one dwelling across two levels, then decide whether the likely purchase is for occupation, rental or both. If rental is the aim, start with...
