Default Slope or flat?

Hello,
I have to choose between two properties, one on a slope and a flat one
just down the slope. The slope is quite gentle, about 1 to 10 or about
6 degrees if my math is correct. The size of the properties is about
30 000 sq ft. I have never lived on a slope, therefore don't know what
is good or bad in it. I guess there is more trouble with the slopy
one, but is it worth it? Which property would you choose other things
(size, cost etc) being equal?



If your garden slopes then rain is going to slope downhill too and the
higher bit will drain and dry out much quicker so is likely to be a
nightmare to keep planted/grassed etc especially if we continue to get hot
summers

i would opt for a flat garden anytime
