Renowned Classical Feng Shui consultant Joey Yap reveals in this book how to screen properties and determine their Feng Shui Quotient (FSQ) just by observing what is around the area and using Landform (Luan Tou) Feng Shui techniques. How do you know if a property is surrounded by good Qi? Are all houses built near T-junctions bad?

What kind of environmental features are considered positive in Feng Shui? What is the importance of Mountain and Water in Feng Shui? All these questions and more are answered in Feng Shui for Homebuyers - Exterior.

Why buy a property that has Feng Shui flaws which require fixing, when you can buy a property that is already good and simply requires improvement? Why buy a property that needs costly renovations simply to rectify the Feng Shui flaws when you can buy one that needs no renovation at all?
