Location, Style and Size
In choosing the right home there are several factors you need to consider, including:
Location:
Style and size of home: unit, house, duplex and family needs
In deciding on a location, as a local resident Mark Coleman knows the area extremely well and is also aware of any proposed changes in the area that are likely to affect your investment.
However, you should consider factors
such as distance from your place of work, nearby educational
facilities, availability of recreational facilities, the local
town-planning scheme, and the development potential of the land.
When determining the style and size of your home, consider your
basic needs, for example:
|
|
Garage or carport requirements |
|
|
An extensive garden or easy care surrounds |
|
|
Family living areas: games room, bedrooms etc. |
|
|
Inside and outside entertaining areas |
|
|
Capacity to extend. |
The research that you may care to undertake includes obtaining a copy of the Certificate of Title. This will inform you of any encumbrances that may affect your use of the land or strata entitlement. It is also wise to enquire with the seller's agent whether the local authority has approved extensions on the property.
