Buyer's Guide
What & Where Are You Planning To Buy?
It's vital to get a clear idea of what you are looking for in order to avoid wasting your precious time… and buying the wrong property!
So, what exactly are you looking for… and why?
Here are a few suggestions to start the ball rolling:
Property Usage - What will you use your property for? How often will you use the property? Is it a long term investment, a holiday home or will you live in your new home all year round? Have you considered any rental potential?
Property type and style - townhouse, villa, apartment, size of property, detached/attached, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, etc., terrace, pool, garden, garage.
Location - beach front, coastal area, golf course, village, rural, town, urbanisation, sea/mountain/golf views, distance from facilities, local services, airport.
Preferred facilities - clubhouse, own pool, communal pool, golf course, other sports facilities, gardens, restaurants, bars.
Desirable local services - schools, shops, markets, banks, post office, cinemas, gyms, hospitals, clinics, public transport, car hire.
When you come to calculating your budget, don't forget that you'll need to add x percent to the purchase price to cover the associated legal fees and taxes.
Going through this thought process will help make it clear in your mind what you really want and then when we speak we will be able to tailor your viewing tour to match your requirements and show you just what you are looking for.
