There’s plenty to think about when buying a new home and it can be easy to get confused or distracted by all the information put in front of you. But with a few simple tips your home buying journey can be made a little simpler.
DO look at several properties
It’s important to look at several properties before deciding on the one property to buy. By looking at at least a few properties you can get a good idea of what property features you do and don’t like, and compare what is out there.
DO get advice from professionals
Ask for advice at every step of the buying journey. Talk to mortgage brokers and real estate agents and get them to help you understand the buying process. It’s better to get professional advice rather than make a potentially costly mistake.
DO get a building and pest inspection
A simple property viewing often doesn’t reveal the whole truth about a property. By having a pest and building inspection you will find out if there are any underlying issues, which might make the property less valuable than you first thought.
DON’T buy a house for the décor
When you walk into a home you need to try and imagine what it would look like either without any furnishings, or with your furnishings inside. It can be tricky, but remember you’re buying the bricks and mortar, not what you find inside.
DON’T get emotionally attached
This is easier said than done but with a purchase as big as a house, you need to think logically. You need to consider all elements when buying a property. Do you like the area? The price? Carry out some research to make sure you’re making a smart decision.
DON’T rush
The worse thing you can do is rush into buying a property without thinking it through. Take your time and don’t sign on the dotted line until you think you’re ready.
