What do I Need as a Buyer?
— Get Pre-Approved —
Get to know your limit so you can play within it. Reach out to your bank, mortgage broker, or other mortgage providers to get pre-approved for a mortgage. You should know where you sit before you start looking for a home - this way you know you min and max.
— Know Your Deposit —
Know what you have, your cashflow, your personal expenses, and general living expenses. This will help you determine what you can put down on a house - deposits can make or break a deal.
— Find a Lawyer —
Engage before you even buy. Get to know the lawyer you are working with.
— Find an Inspector —
It is always good to have a knowledgable inspector in your back pocket, especially when buying a home, old or new.
---
— Get to Know the Area —
Get to know the area you are looking to buy in. Go to local businesses, cafes, shops, restaurants, etc. See how it feels to be in the area.
