Think about the neighborhood you want to live in

One of the most important things when it comes to purchasing a house is thinking about where you want to live. You want to pick a neighborhood that has the facilities you need, whether this be somewhere nestled in the countryside with plenty of open green space where you can walk your dog, or in the city with a myriad of amenities such as shops, leisure facilities and restaurants within walking distance. Look at things such as crime stats and the prices of other homes that have been recently sold in the area. 

Decide what you want to spend

Budget is one of the biggest elements of buying a property and you want to make sure you have enough to purchase the home you want. Think about what you want to spend and whether this will cover not only the cost of your property, but also any renovations you might want to do as well. Have a set budget in mind including all these aspects and ensure you stick to it, with a bit extra incase of any incidentals. 

Consider if you want a doer-upper or a house you can move right into

There are two main types of houses you can buy, either a doer-upper which tends to be an older house, or a brand new build that is ready to move into. Think about if you want to redecorate completely and perhaps edit the layout of the house, or you want to find somewhere that you can just move into right away and enjoy as it is. This can affect the budget and how much you spend both in the short and long term.

These are just a few things you need to think about when it comes to finding your dream property. Whether you know exactly what you’re after and just need a little help to find the ideal place, or aren’t sure of where you want to live or what you want to spend, this might help.
