Short answer:Preferences about a road-facing home may include feng shui, but practical assessment should examine traffic, noise, headlights and access. No fixed discount or fortune effect is supported here.

Observe at different times

Assess rush hour, evenings and weekends, room orientation, windows and pedestrian access. A road alignment on a map does not describe the indoor experience.

Price realistic improvements

Window insulation involves ventilation, fitting and maintenance tradeoffs and should match the actual source and assembly. Check nearby planning information without assuming current surroundings are permanent or proposals certain.

Before deciding

  • Separate preferences from market evidence
  • Compare similar completed sales
  • Assess acceptability with windows closed
