Inspecting for natural light
When buying a home it's always a good idea to visit at a number of different times during the day to see how much natural light the home gets everyday.
This will help you in a number of ways. If you're someone who loves/wants/needs lots of light, you'll see how much light the house gets. It will help you with planning for how you will use your rooms ... if you like a sunny bedroom you'll want to know which rooms face east. If you're going to plant a flower or vegetable garden, you'll want to know which part of the property gets the most sunshine and which parts are protected from wind or which parts are in shade.







I'm in the process of making a purchase ...and this is great advice...thanks!
