Best light comes from the north. Living areas, windows or a yard facing north get the warmest, most reliable sun - and winter sun sits low, so tall buildings or trees on that side can overshadow it. South-facing rooms get little direct sun. We can't see your specific building, so check which way the main rooms face when you visit (same path for the whole street).
