Reminder of things to do

In the confusing profusion of things that have to be done when buying a property, it is best to have a few pointers in order to avoid any nasty surprises along the way. Here is an outline of the steps you must remember and obstacles to get over before, during and after the buying process.

You have decided to buy an old property which may involve some building work,
or a plot of land with the intention of building on it. Whatever your plans are, financing them is one of the key elements involved. To avoid the pitfalls you must take into account all the different aspects involved.

 Calculate all the costs

You have found the home of your dreams and the price is right… But, have you thought of everything? Your budget can sometimes be fragile, and the slightest problem can bring it tumbling down… In addition to the actual purchase price there are a number of other costs which will swell the cost of the transaction and which you must include if you are to draw up a realistic financing plan. So, before you sign any kind of contract, make sure you have checked all your calculations...

  Estimate the value of a property

Sometimes it doesn't take much to increase the value or, on the contrary, decrease the value of a house or apartment… It is therefore a good idea to weigh up the pros and cons of the property, as this will provide you with the arguments you need when negotiating with the vendor. They will also help or hinder you when the time comes to sell or rent your property.
