Going to view a few houses tomorrow with a view to purchase.
A south facing garden is a must for us as we spend alot of time in the garden and would like sun to come through to the rear kitchen etc.
How can I find out (apart from asking the owners) which way the house/garden faces?
Thanks in advance","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30151885","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"sowotsdis"},"datePublished":"2017-03-04T19:23:31.000Z","text":"stand out front door n look up?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30151842","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"woopedeedoo"},"datePublished":"2017-03-04T19:14:47.000Z","text":"Type the postcode into Google maps, so long as you don't rotate the view the top of screen will be north"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30153383","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"howarth3"},"datePublished":"2017-03-05T00:42:30.000Z","text":"Wow...
