🏡 Essential Tips for Buying a House 🏡

Manager from Stainton Chellew

Buying a home is an exciting journey, but it can also feel overwhelming. Here are some key tips to help you make a confident decision:

🔎 Do Your Research – Look into the local market, recent sale prices, and future developments in the area. This helps you avoid overpaying.

💰 Know Your Budget – Get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know exactly how much you can afford. Factor in costs such as, legal fees, moving costs, rates, any body corporate fees, insurance, and maintenance.

📜 Check the Paperwork – Seek legal advice on the property’s record of title and LIM report for any restrictions or covenants that could impact your use of the home.

🏡 Inspect Before You Buy – A professional building inspection can uncover issues like leaks, foundation problems, or poor and unconsented renovations that may lead to costly repairs.

📍 Think Long-Term – Consider school zones, transport links, and future developments. Will this property still suit your needs in 5–10 years?

📝 Get Legal Advice – Before signing anything, have a property lawyer review the sale agreement to ensure you're protected.
