Kirsty McLuckie on paying premium for a view to a thrill

You can’t put a price on a view, so the saying goes, but actually – when it comes to selling a home – you can, although it isn’t an exact science.Certainly a home with a wonderful far-reaching vista will command a price well in excess of a similar sized house with its view obscured.While a valuer can tot up the value per foot of a home’s accommodation and garden, then add some more for desirable features and the condition of the building, putting a monetary value on a view can be tricky, as it all depends on the right buyer wanting it enough.
