Finding a home, you love for the people you love can be a scary process. Here at Michael Poole, we have created some tips to ensure you fall in love with the right home for you.

House Must-Haves

Before looking for a home, create a list of all the non-negotiable features a property must-have. This could be anything from a second bathroom, utility room, garage, off-road parking, etc. Therefore, you will not waste time looking at properties that don’t have these key features.

Budget

It is important to understand your budget and what to expect from the properties within that budget. By doing this you can eliminate properties outside the set budget, so you don’t get your heart stuck on something out of your budget.

The Dream Location

One of the main factors in purchasing a home is the location, do you want to live near a city? A village? Near the beach? Near good schools? All important factors when purchasing a home. It is important to identify the locational factors to narrow down your search and therefore save time.

Be Flexible

The property may not always be perfect, but you can put in the work to make it perfect.  Don’t hope it will be the exact way you want it but look at the ways you can make it yours. Being able to compromise on the area, properties features, home type can help find a home you love.

Viewings

Its good practice to visit the property multiple times to be able to visualize yourself living there and if it is the right fit. Our wonderful estate agents are more than happy to help you with all your worries and concerns.
