Allow me to list down 8 steps that will help you make the right decision in choosing a property that suits your needs and budget in every way.
1. Do your homework
Make sure you research the market thoroughly before even forming an opinion. Ask your friends who had already bought property to share their experience, consult brokers and agents, read the newspaper and keep yourself up to date, use the internet to collect relevant information.
2. Know your strength
This is probably the most ignored step of all, because buying home is such a huge emotional baggage to carry that we tend to lose our footing somewhere. It’s of course advisable to resort to caution and rather refrain from punching above ones weight, unless if you like to. Take stock of your financial arsenal and tread your way along carefully.
3. Narrow down on the location
By now, you must have a location in mind where you wish to buy your property. Do some field study and investigate deeply as to the feasibility, safety, proximity and comfort aspects of the area.
4. Think of the future
Be prescient. Before buying the property make sure you give a thought of the sort of appreciation the property might experience down the line. This will cover you for any eventuality and you can stay happy.
5. Calculate the expense
Sit and do the math yourself. Ask your family member to double-check them for you. Because after all it’s the heaviest investment you are probably going to make in your lifetime.
6. Don’t settle for the first
Access as much option as you can. Get to know the market price as against the price quoted by the builders. Compare their prices while considering the features that are provided along with the property.
7. Persist & Persevere
Be smart. Trust your instincts. Always take heed of little things. As much as people would say otherwise, there is nothing wrong in bickering. It’s your money don’t give it away too easily.
8. Follow-up
Once you have finalized from whom you are going to buy your property, make sure you keep in touch with the progress of the project at every step of the way. Let them know that it’s of your prime concern and demand timely updates from them.
