What sort of property am I looking for? What am I willing to compromise on and what is absolutely non-negotiable?
Searching for the right property can be quite overwhelming, which is why it helps to have a keen sense of what you’d like – everything from the number of bedrooms to the size of the living spaces, to whether or not a garden is a necessity.
Being clear about what you’d like also enables Winfield properties advisors to assist you more effectively.
What is my first choice of area? Am I clear about why I think this area suits my needs and preferences?
‘Location, location, location’ is very important, and something you want to carefully consider. This not only helps to narrow your search, but has a profound effect on your lifestyle.
Why is the owner selling, and how long has the property been on the market?
This is really a precautionary measure to ensure you’re aware of any potential hassles with the property or the neighborhood.
How was the asking price determined?
This is a big investment and you want to make sure you’re getting the best value for money. By understanding how the asking price was determined, you’ll be in a better position to assess whether you’re getting the relevant value, or if you should consider going in with a lower (or higher) offer.
Are there other offers on the property?
If there are other offers on the property you may have to move swiftly if you’re interested in putting in an offer.
If there are no others on the property, and particularly if the property has been on the market for a while, there is likely to be some room for negotiation around the price and the terms of the sale.
What renovations, if any, have been done to the property? And are the property plans available?
It’s useful to know what improvements have been made to the property as an indication of what might further need to be done. Having the property plans just makes things much easier should you want to do alterations at some point.
What exactly is included in the home offer?
Was it the chandelier in the living room that really made you swoon, or the gorgeous freestanding garden pots that made you want this property? Just make about what’s included in the home offer, and what not.
