Looking for a Property?<br />
What really counts<br />
You are in the market for a new property,<br />
scrolling the Internet, examining<br />
properties for sale and zeroing in on<br />
those with potential. <strong>The</strong>y might be<br />
in locations that offer cheaper land,<br />
larger houses, or convenience to work<br />
or school. You may have visited show<br />
homes and open homes becoming<br />
confused, overwhelmed or swept<br />
away with emotional factors like having<br />
everything new, or extra features such as<br />
three car garaging.<br />
To be happy with your choice, list the<br />
features that you need, considering:<br />
; Family space – Is there room for<br />
the children to play indoors and<br />
for television and entertainment<br />
units? Should this be open plan or<br />
separated?<br />
; Kitchen – What needs to be in your<br />
kitchen? How serious are you about<br />
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or<br />
something that offers a practical<br />
solution to the way you use your<br />
kitchen?<br />
; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum<br />
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may<br />
translate to slightly lower building<br />
costs while extra space can be useful.<br />
When looking at existing homes,<br />
consider whether the size of each<br />
bedroom is sufficient.<br />
; Garaging – A standard double garage<br />
once two cars are parked there offers<br />
little space for the toys. What toys<br />
do you have and could they live with<br />
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a<br />
cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />
If the budget allows and a larger<br />
garage with workshop is important,<br />
make it a selection priority.<br />
; Size of land – Lifestyle properties<br />
offer space for children, pets, hobbies,<br />
an expansive garden and perhaps a<br />
home-run business but they require<br />
work so are not for everyone and<br />
a compact section might be more<br />
sensible if a tight budget or busy<br />
lifestyle.<br />
; Bathrooms – Second and third<br />
bathrooms are great in homes with<br />
teenagers and a wet shower room is<br />
ideal for young children. A bath might<br />
be fashionable though is often not<br />
used and its absence could mean a<br />
more spacious bathroom.<br />
; Laundry – Would a laundry in the<br />
garage do the job?<br />
; Storage – How much storage do you<br />
need? Weigh up what can truly be<br />
stored in the garage once vehicles are<br />
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary<br />
in size so check the size to ensure your<br />
vehicles will fit. Look also at where<br />
else the house offers storage capacity<br />
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot<br />
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes<br />
(check their width and depth), walk-in<br />
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as<br />
the potential for hooks and shelving<br />
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden<br />
equipment and even kayaks.<br />
; Off-street parking – How many<br />
vehicles can be parked on the<br />
driveway? Will this space be sufficient?<br />
; Garden - Is there sufficient space<br />
for your children to play or for<br />
entertaining?<br />
A checklist will allow you to determine<br />
what will suit your needs, the point of<br />
the exercise, saving you time looking at<br />
properties or potential house designs<br />
while assisting you to decide whether<br />
to buy a new or existing home with<br />
both options having advantages and<br />
disadvantages.<br />
