It's a great adventure, looking for a new home, and there are lots of things to consider. It certainly pays to get your thoughts in order first, and make a list of the things that you really want.
For a start, where would you like to live? Do you have a locality in view? Will a property bought in this area retain its value when you decide to sell some time in the future? Is it far from your workplace; close to suitable schools for your children? Is there adequate public transport close by? What about shops and other day to day services?
What is your price range? If you have taken good advice and done your homework, you will have your finance pre-arranged so you know how much you can spend.
What type of home do you need? Not only the number of bedrooms comes into this question, but you may have special needs for hobbies, study entertaining - maybe an relative living with you.
What style of home would you like? Plus what about extras - do you need a 3 car garage, a swimming pool, outdoor entertainment area?
When you find something you like, don't be afraid to spend a few dollars and get experts to check on your behalf, the roof, the wiring, the plumbing and the foundations and get a LIM Report from the District Council so you can be comfortable that there are no nasty surprises lurking in the future.
