Position, position

Once I used to joke about where our home was situated, and I was quick to say "high in the hollow"!  Over time this statement makes more sense as now I realise "high on the hill" is usually more valuable land!  Why is it more valuable?:

• the land is out of the flood plain
• better drainage during heavy rain
• the breeze circulates freely in hot and humid weather
• the views can be stunning
• the design features of the home can give a feeling of space

Chapter 6 talks about being wise when choosing your investment.
