Purchasing property can be difficult when faced with a number of choices. Savvy investors seek Feng Shui advice when selecting new property to ensure that a home energetically supports good health, relationships and prosperity.

A Feng Shui assessment is as critical as a building inspection to help a buyer make an informed purchase decision.

Here are some general Feng Shui principles that can assist you when looking for a new property:

• The front of the home should be appealing and easily noticeable, to attract favourable attention from passers-by. This represents the ability for occupants to attract opportunities into their lives.
• The rear boundary of the home should be supported with trees, buildings or upwards-sloping land. Having protective structures behind a property will provide support and security to the occupants, which is why a home located on the high side of the street is favourable.
• Homes that are located at the end of a T junction are generally not ideal from a Feng Shui perspective. This directs an intense flow of energy towards a home, which can be unfavourable to the occupants.
• In general, avoid homes located on busy roads with fast moving traffic. The objective in Feng Shui is to enable Chi or energy to find you easily, and this is difficult if the energy is moving too quickly past your home.
• Know the history of the land and former occupants prior to buying a property. Land and buildings absorb energy which can impact subsequent residents. It’s best to avoid purchasing land and buildings where crimes or tragedies have occurred.
• Rooms containing pointy angles, sloped ceilings and irregular shapes may feel uncomfortable. Long narrow buildings are not ideal as their shape does not contain an even distribution of energy.
• Feng Shui is about achieving harmony between yin and yang, so look for an ideal combination of light and shade, nature and buildings, and a balance of openness and enclosure.
• Most importantly, spend some quiet time walking around and feeling the energy in the property. If you sense that the home doesn’t feel right, trust your intuition.

Perfect Feng Shui is rarely achievable, so if you find a property with unfavourable aspects, this may be reduced with remedies or offset by favourable elements that can be identified in a Traditional Feng Shui consultation.
