Things You Should Know Before Buying a House
Before you venture out in search of a home to buy for yourself and family, I will like you to consider some facts:
When you walk into a house, and you think to yourself, why on earth did the owner paint this house blue? You walk into the bedroom and wonder if you like this green wall. Alternatively, going into the kitchen and hating the floor tiles or the bathroom is super not cool. There are so many property buyers out there who can’t seem to overlook this thing and then pass out an excellent property.
These are minor things that can be repaired on the weekend. This are called COSMETIC ISSUES.
Cosmetic Issues are things you can change quickly with very minimal effort. For instance, do you hate the kitchen? To fix it, you might need to spend N50,000-N100,000. Do you hate the flooring? Changing it might cost N50,000 for brand new floors. Do you hate the paint colour? Replacing it might cost you N60,000 naira and a weekend cost of your time.
There is virtually no property without this minor issues, so you need to make up your mind before you let a right property slip past you. So any time you go out looking for property be on the lookout for this few things.
In no particular order I will list out things you need to watch out for when buying a property.
- The property location: this is something you will get stuck and can’t change no matter how rich or wealthy you are that’s why we take our time to get you properties in one of the best locations in Abuja, Lagos and Nigeria as a whole.
Do you live where there is so much violence or next to a freeway, do you want to live in Ikeja or want to stay in Ajah, this are things you are stuck with, so you need to take into consideration where you will like your property to be located. So, if you can’t deal with it, your best bet is to move on.
- Floor plan: Now this is something you can’t change that quickly. If you are buying a property for N20, million under market value, you will have to see the floor plan in order to understand what your property entails, but if you purchase something at retail level and hate the way the kitchen is laid out, or you want the bedroom at the other side of the house, at that point it might just be best to look for a landed property that suites you. And you can call our team of professionals to give you the best advice.
- Hire a Real Estate inspector: This may cost you around N20,000 but it’s a small price to pay to make sure that your investment of N20,000,000 or more is that valuable. One of the things that you want the inspector to check out are health hazard, insect free property, even the wall paintings too because this could also have effect on people living in the building. You might need to hire more than one inspector who specialize in different area of the property. Ensure you vet the inspector to really know if he has the technical know-how to inspect your property.
Even the perfect home won’t be 100% accurate, understand this and you won’t mind if you will need to change something from the property you bought.
Moreover, as a home seller myself I have seen it all, I have seen people who cancel perfect properties just because they couldn’t envisage themselves spending money to make it a home of their choice.
However, what happens is that after they have gone to see other houses and discover that what they see out there is not up to the standard of what we sell, they come back. Alternatively, they compromise and get something wrong.
We are are offering you the best market value property you can get in the market today at an affordable price.
