Get A Quality Home Inspection
Although it is hard to believe, more people pay for inspections before buying used cars than when making the biggest investment of their lives – their homes. Paying for a Structural survey before you buy a home isn’t just spending a “little extra” peace of mind, it’s absolutely essential for anyone who doesn’t want to spend thousands of Euros for repairs.

Research is the Key
Home sellers won’t call you with an offer to buy a maintenance-free home with a wonderful mortgage. You have to find the gems yourself! Only by reading available materials, talking to friends and experts and spending time looking at different homes, schools and neighbourhoods will you end up with your dream.

Make A Plan
Every important decision needs to be clearly thought out. Developing a home buying plan can help you focus on the important factors and organise the entire process. Loan pre-qualifying helps you determine the home price you can afford and presents you as a genuine prospect to the seller.

Planning your actions will keep you out of the panic mode and allow you to take advantage of opportunities. A thorough plan will save both time and money!

Value
The classic rule of buying the worst house in the best neighbourhood still applies. You buy with an eye towards improvement, you can customise the home to fit your needs. The saying “make money buying a home, not selling one”, should keep you focused on the long-term importance of the purchasing price.

Create a Top 10 List of Amenities
When shopping for a home, list the features (fireplace, fenced –in yard, new appliances etc.) that are most important to you in deciding on which home to buy. Establishing “your criteria" early on will save time shopping for inappropriate homes and may keep you from buying a home on a whim.
