Questions to verify locally
- Ask whether current long-let rents match the registered-contract figure.
- Request recent comparable sales before relying on the appraisal figure.

- Visit local schools and confirm places for incoming families.
- Confirm health-centre registration and opening hours in person.
- Test the reported airport drive at the time you would travel.
