Our 6 top tips for buying a home in Auckland
Get Pre-approved
Obtain pre-approval for a loan so you know exactly how much you can spend before you even begin your search.
Learn
Understand the market you want to buy in. Websites like www.qv.co.nz, www.trademe.co.nz and www.realestate.co.nz offer fantastic resources when researching the property market.
Be Thorough
Remember to look at all aspects of the property. It is about balancing the pros and cons, as no property will ever be perfect.
Think Ahead
Know when to compromise, when to stand your ground and when to walk away. Waiting for the perfect property to come along could take forever, settling for less than perfect now could mean moving up the property ladder a whole lot quicker.
Be Decisive
Be prepared to act quickly, especially once you have found the property you want. Whether it is the first property you spot or you’ve been looking every weekend for a year, if it feels right, is in your price range and you’ve done the necessary checks, then go for it before someone else beats you to it.
Get An Inspection
We highly recommend getting an independent building inspection report done, as well as a strata report if applicable, or the body corporate minutes if you are buying an apartment.
