| Buying a house isn't something you do everyday; it's likely to be the biggest thing you ever pay for.
 Buying a home is an exciting time, and there's a lot to think about. Before you start looking, it's important to spend time thinking about and discussing what you want in a home and where you'd like to live. Here are some tips that will help make the process go smoothly.
Decide what sort of home you want
Make a list of what you must have, what would be great to have, and what is not so important:
-
How many bedrooms do you want?
-
Do you need a garden for the kids, pets or to relax in?
-
Is parking or a garage important?
-
Do you want a do up?
-
Do you want a big place?
-
How important is sun?
Where do you want to live?
- How close do you want to be to friends, family, shops, work, school, public transport and parks?
- Use the newspaper, property brochures and real estate websites to get an indication of prices in the areas you are considering.
For each individual property, there are also a number
of things to look for.
