Before inspecting the forms Before you look at any form at the left, right, back and front of the house, just use a good quality compass to measure the facing of the house.

6. The neighbourhood and your gut feeling Observe the neighborhood situation. No matter how nice Feng Shui a house is, its Chi is ultimately affected by the surrounding neighborhood. Be wary of unusually "quiet" neighborhoods. Stay away from neighborhoods that have too many vacant houses, no sign of children, pets, or other fun human activity like gardening. These places have dead Qi. Too many unfinished, run-down houses indicate overall bad feng shui. Activity from children, animals and people doing things like sports is a sign of a healthy neighborhood. How does it feel as you enter the house? How do you feel as you approach the entrance of the house? Use your gut feeling. It is necessary to be aware of the need for intuition of this sort before viewing the house. Before entering the house, standing at about 1 meter from the main door, close your eyes and talk a deep breath. Avoid houses if the main door gives you the feeling of being threatening. Some times you may not understand why it makes you feel uneasy, but it is wise to take it as a sign that is bad feng shui. Avoid houses where you cannot find the main entrance door. These kinds of houses do exist, maybe because of strange structure, overgrown garden, or irregular shaped plot of land. It you cannot find the entrance easily, money god will find difficulty entering the home too! Entrances that look like they are being capped by an out-of-shaped awning, strange over-sized roofs should be avoided too. The entrance of the house should be inviting to you, the prospective buyer of the house. If you feel threatened as you reach the main door, chances are, this is not the right house for you. Needless to say the structure of the house is everything in Feng Shui. Enter a prospective house with a conscious effort to feel its ambiance. Use you five senses to intuitively audit the house.
1. Avoid irregularly shaped buildings; buildings with protrusions, triangular shape, spear shaped buildings are notorious for bringing down relationships in the family. This is because the more irregular shape will mean more sharp-wall corners in the house. Rectangular shaped buildings are the best bet. 2. Roof should be the right size. If a roof dominates the house structure, occupants in it will probably feel dominated too. 3. Windows bring in light and qi. Houses with windows too small or too few windows trap stagnant Qi. 4. Long corridors are common in many houses. This a poor feng shui feature, because it allows little movement and "sha qi" brought about by a bottle neck effect. 5. Sniff out humidity and dampness. This is common in cellars and attic. Avoid homes that have signs of dampness and humidity because it is a precursor for bigger problems later on. You can smell dampness in enclosed rooms. Other signs are water stains on walls and fungus. Copyright 2014 Edgar Lok Tin Yung http://www.loktinfengshui.com.au
