BROWSE TO BUY

You need a roof over your head, and it needs to be comfortable, and adaptable to your family's needs.

Is this the place to buy?

Does it make you happy? Can you get to and from work quickly and cheaply, and are there schools for the kids?

Our tips on what to look for

Below are a series of tips which we think are relevant.

From our own experience, most people buy a property for the first time, once they leave education, and find their first job on a career ladder. In some countries, a deposit is normally required.

- Property size and location
- Proximity to the work place
- Quality of the local area
- Availability of local amenities

- Affordability and deposit
- Finding a mortgage lender
- Sellability of the property
- Environment locally

Seek qualified professional advice on the matter.

Cant make up your mind?
Make a shortlist of all the properties which you have visited and liked. Talk to friends and your partner about your picks. Try to get a concensus.

- Buy the home which makes you happy, something with a 'wow' factor

Think about the following: Location, location, location. Area is the most important factor in our opinion. Then it's price and size.
