Looking for a Property?
What really counts
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining
properties for sale and zeroing in on
those with potential. They might be
in locations that offer cheaper land,
larger houses, or convenience to work
or school. You may have visited show
homes and open homes becoming
confused, overwhelmed or swept
away with emotional factors like having
everything new, or extra features such as
three car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the
features that you need, considering:
; Family space – Is there room for
the children to play indoors and
for television and entertainment
units? Should this be open plan or
separated?
; Kitchen – What needs to be in your
kitchen? How serious are you about
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or
something that offers a practical
solution to the way you use your
kitchen?
; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may
translate to slightly lower building
costs while extra space can be useful.
When looking at existing homes,
consider whether the size of each
bedroom is sufficient.
; Garaging – A standard double garage
once two cars are parked there offers
little space for the toys. What toys
do you have and could they live with
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a
cheaper option to three car garaging?
If the budget allows and a larger
garage with workshop is important,
make it a selection priority.
; Size of land – Lifestyle properties
offer space for children, pets, hobbies,

an expansive garden and perhaps a
home-run business but they require
work so are not for everyone and
a compact section might be more
sensible if a tight budget or busy
lifestyle.
; Bathrooms – Second and third
bathrooms are great in homes with
teenagers and a wet shower room is
ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not
used and its absence could mean a
more spacious bathroom.
; Laundry – Would a laundry in the
garage do the job?
; Storage – How much storage do you
need? Weigh up what can truly be
stored in the garage once vehicles are
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary
in size so check the size to ensure your
vehicles will fit. Look also at where
else the house offers storage capacity
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes
(check their width and depth), walk-in
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as
the potential for hooks and shelving
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden
equipment and even kayaks.
; Off-street parking – How many
vehicles can be parked on the
driveway? Will this space be sufficient?
; Garden - Is there sufficient space
for your children to play or for
entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine
what will suit your needs, the point of
the exercise, saving you time looking at
properties or potential house designs
while assisting you to decide whether
to buy a new or existing home with
both options having advantages and
disadvantages.
