We decided to collect more data on properties than in the first trial to give a greater overview of the value of property. 

1. Image. The selling image. We flicked through the advertising images available to find the one that placed value on water.

2. Property Address

3. Age of property

4. Land Value

5. Land Area

6. The land value per square meter

7. Floor Area

8. Property Description 

We thought it was just as important to see how a property was marketed through its description as well as it's image. Whether it was a real selling point that was elaborated on or if it was a mere mention. It was in these descriptions you could really find out if a property was near a popular beach that was worth mentioning or not. We highlighted the parts that mentioned sea views/ accessibility to beach via walking or a short drive etc.
