How many times in search of an apartment across the agency told us: “hurry that there are other buyers,” “look that the houses are just a few days on the market” or words very similar.
All words used to give us some ‘pressure and push the purchase of an apartment.
But as he writes colleague 100casa house purchase can be for life and cannot be done on the spot without thinking too much. It is not like buying a pair of shoes.
That’s why I too at the suggestion of a long and detailed consideration before buying a house.
I advise you, before launching in the vision of the apartments, to create a card: write up a budget and divide under the sheet I want / I would not.
In one column write down what you would certainly that there is in your new home, the other sure thing there must be (all in comparison with the budget you want to spend).
Warning!
Do not you dwell only on this list, because they could hide the pitfalls that only the seller knows you from unsuspecting customers and then you end up with a big problem to manage?
- It’s not bad to ask the neighbors of the house as the area in which we buy and if there are problems of various kinds.
- See the house at different hours of the day to understand how the life goes on in that neighborhood.
- Understand the value for money for not taking a huge rip-off.
- Thanks to camera phones cannot hurt to make photos of the house, so as to compare them with other views above and can then judge later with more calm.
- Finally Take always a suitable period before buying a house, so that we can think and rethink 1000 times.
These are just the first considerations that came to my mind and which struck me as most important (possibly more to be added in future). But if you want, thanks to the comments, you can add your advice on buying a house. Let us know.
