Buying a new home is a huge investment which may be complicated sometimes especially when it is the buyers or investor’s first time, it is important that you should look out for some problems as to make a wise decision and have a better view of what you actually want because it will help you make an informed choice about the property.
• It is very important that you should carry out a visual inspection to the subject property you want to buy in order to know if there is any damaged part or any building appliances that needed to be repaired, based on the previous lease term, it is the duty of the property manager to know if the property is in full repairing and insuring lease or internal repair so as to know who should repair the damages in the building before selling it.
• At the course of your inspection, also check if the space in the property will accommodate you both internal and external space, you should do so because so many properties are not having a standard building space according to the building code.
• The investors inspection is not restricted to the subject property that you want to buy therefore you should as well extend your visit to the neighborhood because,you may like the property and hate the neighborhood which might be because the neighborhood is not good, calm or that the location is in a high-density area in terms of population or that the location has a high crime rate etc. it is normal to check the location very well to know if it is what you want before making any payment to avoid regret.
• Check the kind of people living in that neighbourhood, if they are the people that you can live and share a relationship with because a good relationship with neighbours will help to create a peaceful environment and improve community pride, prevent more problems and make that location enjoyable.
• Waste management is also a very vital factor to look at when buying a house, you should also know how the waste is been managed, if they are recycled by the same people living in that neighborhood or by the government because it may be that the location is adapting the means of dumping garbage, junks and other debris out of the house which will make the whole environment polluted.
These are the things you should bear in mind while looking for a house, the internal and external inspection of the subject property to the environment and the neighbourhood is very important so that you can live comfortably and in order not to compromise your choice.
