Garage

[myfs_139973]

Dear Cecil,

I am about to buy a house. One of the building contractor told me that the house I want to buy is not a good fensui since the garage on the right side of the house. He told me that for a good house, the garage should be on the left hand side of the house (when I stand outside and look at the house). He explained that by this way, the house is the dragon and the garage is the tiger. Is he correct about the garage? Does it matter which side the garage is? Thanks.

1. Statistically, even locally in my country, all landed property estates with semi-detached homes will have homes that mirror each other. Some homes with garage to the "right" and some with garage to the "left".

2. In my opinion, the comments by the building contractor is purely "kindergarten" type of Feng Shui. There are thousands - and - one more concerns that are more important than this. Some of them are listed in the link below:-

3. As we all know especially semi-detached homes, it is a set of two homes mirrored at the "centre". And locally, there are LOTS of such homes.

4. More importantly: Location, location and location has the highest weightage : including like the drainage of the home, the facing direction of a home etc...
