Before I buy my property, what should I look out for?

Purchasing a home is an immense financial undertaking that requires careful consideration and forethought. Before making an offer on the home that has captured your heart, it’s important to be sure that the property is suitable for you and your family, and that it meets your current – and future – needs.

If you have a young family or are considering starting a family of your own, there are many vital factors to bear in mind when you decide to buy a property. These include:

• How much house you can afford. Lenders are unlikely to grant home loans with a monthly repayment exceeding 30 percent of homeowners’ gross monthly income. However, this limitation doesn’t necessarily prevent homeowners from overextending their budgets when they buy a property. After all, one third of your monthly income is a fairly sizeable chunk!

  Before signing on the dotted line, be certain that you’ll be able to meet your bond payment obligations without jeopardising your ability to provide for your family’s day-to-day needs.

• The location of the property. Few people can afford to buy a property in the most exclusive UK neighbourhoods, yet this doesn’t mean one needs to live in an area that is undesirable, noisy or greatly inconvenient.

  Once a particular home has caught your eye, explore the entire area surrounding it – not just the street upon which it is located – in order to get a feel for the neighbourhood as a whole. Also, visit the area at different times of the day to ensure that the area is not noisy at night, or as a result of nearby transportation systems or highways.

  For homeowners with families and busy schedules, have you considered whether the area caters to your everyday needs? Is it centrally located, or will you spend hours commuting to college or work each day? Is it close to schools, doctors’ rooms and shops? Most importantly, is the area safe? Research crime figures for the area, and browse online local news stories to find out whether the neighbourhood is safe for children.

• The size and features of the home. A studio apartment with panoramic views may be the perfect nook for a newly married couple – but will it still meet your housing needs when your family begins to expand?

  The majority of homebuyers remain in their houses for five to seven years. Hence, it’s important to consider your short- to medium-term housing needs before you buy a property, such as the number of bedrooms, the storage space you’ll require and the amount of parking space for your vehicles.

• Repair and maintenance work required. Most prospective homebuyers are familiar with the euphemism, “A renovator’s dream” – which often means that the property is falling apart at the seams! Whilst most homebuyers expect to spend a bit of cash on new carpets or a fresh coat of paint, most are not happy to splurge on retiling the roof or replacing all the window frames.

  Examine the property carefully before making an offer to ensure that you won’t be forking out additional cash on the property. Find out whether there is a Home Information Pack (HIP) detailing the condition of the property, as this will help you to ascertain the current state of the home.
