  • For houses, compare compound size, staff quarters, borehole water, backup power, garage capacity, security, garden usability and how easily the home can be maintained or resold.
  • Confirm title, boundaries, access rights and any restrictions before negotiation moves too far.
  • Inspect roof, drainage, water storage, backup power, staff quarters, garden upkeep and security systems as separate ownership costs.
