これの読み方: The radar chart immediately shows the trade-off: D19 wins on yield and liquidity; D15 wins on walkability and freehold tenure. For a buy-to-let investor primarily seeking cash flow who plans to hold 7–10 years, D19's 1.1% yield advantage and deeper resale market make it the better risk-adjusted choice despite lower walkability. For a buyer who will eventually owner-occupy and values lifestyle convenience, D15's walkability advantage is real and measurable. The Compare Advisor makes this trade-off explicit in 30 seconds rather than requiring the buyer to mentally hold and compare both sets of data across two separate property viewings.
