Considerations when buying a home

While there are many benefits to owning a property, it is imperative that buyers consider the responsibilities of home-ownership.

The process of purchasing a property need to be taken into account;

• Property maintenance: As a homeowner, it will be your responsibility to repair and maintain the property as compared to a tenant who would contact the landlord to assist.
• The costs of owning a home varies from the deposits, legal fees and upkeep of the property. Safeguard yourself against unforeseen events by having enough funds readily available in the event of additional costs that may arise during the process of purchasing.
• It is best to get pre-approved to ensure that you are able to secure a bond for the property: This will determine whether or not you are financially able to afford buying a property.
