The short answer
The building and unit can matter as much as the district. Compare condition, management, service charges, layout, view, competing supply and relevant transaction or rental evidence.
Building-level due diligence
Inspect common areas, lifts, parking, access and visible maintenance. Ask for the current service-charge position and understand the building-management framework.
Unit-level comparability
Compare similar layouts, sizes, floors, views and conditions. Keep asking prices separate from completed transactions and record the date of every data point.
Income needs a realistic model
Use a supportable rent range, vacancy allowance and recurring costs. A gross yield headline is not a net return and does not account for financing or future sale costs.
