Buying a home is one of the best financial milestones you can make. Considering the amount of money that goes into this, it’s only right that you make every effort to find the best possible property for you. Here’s how you can find the home that’s perfect for you in every way:
Use a property portal
To find the best house for sale in KL, property portal like PropertyGuru Malaysia will be able to offer you an ocean of choices to browse trough. Explore lists of homes by looking over photos, but don’t rely on them too much. The right light and angle can make all the difference in a photo and can make a small space seem that much bigger. You can look over the prices to get an idea of how much a property in a particular area should go for.
Look beyond the staging
A lot of home sellers arrange their homes to show them off in the best possible light. Go beyond that to examine the architecture of the place. Does it have solid structure? Is the space large enough for you and your family? Strip the décor and furniture away. Is the space workable in a way that fits your needs? Consider these questions when you find yourself bopping from one home to another, trying to figure out which one is a better match.
Inspect the home with a pro
When you finally settle on a property, ask a professional inspector to take the final inspection with you. If you haven’t got a clue how to spot a rotting wood boards or see signs of a plumbing problem, having an inspector by your side will ensure you get to see and spot all those problems. That way, you know if you’ll go through with the sale or if you need to add more conditions to the contract. In some cases, professional inspectors help home buyers spot something that could make or break the deal so it’s best to know all about that before you sign the contract rather than finding out too late that you’ve tied yourself to a money black hole. You can check out this service if you get in too far over your head – feel overextended and need an quick loan to finish the renovation/purchase of the property.
Don’t rush
Take all the time you need to decide. If you don’t find any home that seems to fit what you want, wait it out. Don’t force yourself to buy any existing homes in the market if your heart’s not in it. Neither should you rush to buy a home the moment you lay eyes on it because it’s the one you want. Wait it out. Rushing can blind you to a lot of faults and home problems that could cause a lot of problems for you in the future should you buy that home. So take the time to make sure you’re choosing the right one.
Research—a lot
One way to prevent surprises from springing up is to know as much as you can about the home. Read up on everything there is like the Property Buying Process. Ask questions. That way, you’ve got background details you can work with. This is also a solid piece of advice for dealing with the home buying process. Know as much as you can so you won’t be taken in by scams. Knowing what’s ahead, what steps you need to take, also helps you confidently navigate the process with as much confidence and calm as you can muster.
Choose a central location
The Malay Mail Online makes this suggestion. Make sure it’s a short distance away from where you work or from major transportation hubs and communication infrastructure. This can save you a lot of commuting stress and travel costs. By investing in a conveniently located home, you can also look forward to your property appreciating in value a few years down the road.
Always read the fine print
Free Malaysia Today offers this advice. That way, you know what you’re entitled to. Better yet, hire a good real estate lawyer to help you review the legal document. This way, you can be sure everything’s as it should be. You won’t have to worry about legal loopholes causing problems later on. Can’t seem to understand a term or condition? With a lawyer, you won’t have to worry that you’re missing on out an important detail. You can ask as many questions as you need to clarify an issue and set your mind to rest.
Stick to your budget
Overspending is a bad idea. When you’re buying a home, you’ll have to prepare for the costs that come with acquiring property. So when you overspend, that doesn’t just affect your home budget, it affects all the other budgets you need to set aside for your other expenses as well. And if you overspend too much, choosing a home that’s worlds away from what you can comfortably afford, you won’t just be looking at years of being in debt, you’ll find yourself confronting the biggest financial mistake of your life.
Hire a real estate agent
You need to stay on top of a lot of things when buying a home. If you’ve already got a full plate, taking on that home buying project on your own could stress you out too much and leave you no room to enjoy the process, much less take the time to get to know each and every home you visit. You might miss out on details and end up buying the wrong property entirely. Don’t shortchange yourself that way. With the able and expert assistance of a realtor, you can easily handle the stress and added work that the home buying process entails and still have enough time to appreciate the experience. After all, for most home buyers, the fun part is in looking for the right home to buy, bopping over to one site from another, trying to figure out if they’ve already found their home or still have yet to see it. So don’t take this on alone. Get a pro to help you out.
Lastly, remember to do your best to find the home that’s financially right for you. That’s the most important piece of advice any first time homebuyer should get.
