Buying your own home is such a beautiful milestone in life.Getting it right with purchasing your home is crucial to living happily. To navigate buying your dream house, below are some factors to consider.
- Neighbourhood: Your choice of neighbourhood is crucial. It should align with your lifestyle needs and goals, it should also give you maximum satisfaction. Is the neighbourhood safe, serene and homely? Some questions you want to answer when considering the choice of neighbourhood.
- Proximity to Work & Social Gatherings: Choosing a home with good proximity to work and your social network prevents you from travelling for long hours when commuting to work or for social events. It also helps you stay within the community of your friends and loved ones. While staying around one’s community of friends is an important factor for many people, it is subject to your choice.
- Power Supply: Researching the area to confirm if the power supply is good, evaluating the means and cost of generating power is another beneficial step to take as you walk towards choosing the area to situate your dream home.
- Cost of Living/Budget: Determine your budget and how much you can afford to spend on a home. Consider your income, existing debts, and future financial goals. Remember to factor in additional costs like insurance, maintenance, and utilities.
- Development of the Area: While researching, assess the government’s masterplan for the development of your choice area. Decide if you would like the proposed outcome of the area after much development has taken place.
