Home buying checklist

When creating your list, you might want to ask yourself the following questions and add a few of your own depending on your preferences:

• Do you want a townhouse, apartment or a house?
• Do you wish to live in the inner city, suburbs or country?
• How many rooms will you need?
• How many bedrooms do you want?
• Will the property accommodate your changing needs over time?
• Do you want a garden, if so how big?
• Do you prefer an old or modern residence?
• Are you happy to renovate or extend?
• How close do you wish to be to facilities such as schools, shops, childcare, parks,
beaches and hospitals?
• How much you are willing to pay?
