Everyone knows there's a lot to think about when buying a house.
But chances are you and your spouse are actually thinking about entirely different things.
A survey of 2,000 people has found that while women will probably be counting the bedrooms and viewing the garden, men are more likely
to be checking where the nearest train station - or pub - is.
The research, by Santander Mortgages in the UK, revealed that women are most likely to value space, while men prefer to focus on a property's location. Access to a garden was also a higher priority for women than men, with more than twice as many saying it was essential.
Meanwhile, one in three men wanted a home which was within a convenient commute to work or close to public transport, compared to only a quarter of women.
