What you should definitely pay attention to: Tips for a successful real estate purchase

Buying real estate is a major financial decision and requires thorough planning and careful consideration. Whether you're buying your first home or interested in real estate as an investment opportunity, here are some important points to keep in mind:

  1. Determining your budget:

Before you start looking for a property, it's crucial to know exactly what your budget is. Take into account not only the purchase price, but also additional costs such as land transfer tax, estate agent fees, notary fees and any renovation costs.

Tip: At VON POLL FINANCE you will not only find a practical budget calculator that you can use to determine your financial scope in just a few steps, but you can also receive your individual mortgage certificate on request. The certificate certifies in writing that you have passed a preliminary budget and credit check and quantifies the property price that you could finance with your current funds. This will also give you a huge head start when you have found your property.

  1. Type of property:

You should also think about what type of property you are looking for in advance. Do you prefer a detached house with a large garden or a bungalow on the ground floor? - Depending on your needs, there are different options for buying the property

  1. Location, location, location:

The location of a property has a huge impact on its value and your quality of life. Consider whether the area meets your needs - proximity to public transport, shopping facilities, schools and workplaces are often decisive factors.

  1. Condition of the property:

Don't be fooled by appearances. A thorough inspection of the property is essential. Check the condition of the roof, heating, electrics, plumbing and other important areas. A surveyor can help to uncover hidden defects.

  1. Clarify financing:

Clarify your financing options in advance. Consult various banks to get the best conditions. Don't forget to consider long-term effects such as interest and repayment installments.

You can also rely on the support of VON POLL FINANCE here.

  1. Legal check:

A notary should check all legal aspects of the property purchase. This includes land register entries, building encumbrances, restrictions on use and other relevant documents. This ensures that there are no unexpected legal hurdles.

  1. Energy efficiency and sustainability:

In times of rising energy costs and environmental awareness, the energy efficiency of a property is of great importance. Enquire about the energy performance certificate and consider whether modernization measures may be advisable.

  1. Future developments:

Inquire about planned developments in the area that could affect the value of your property. These could be infrastructure projects, new companies or urban development changes.

  1. Show negotiating skills:

The advertised price is often negotiable. Don't be afraid to negotiate the price, especially if you notice defects in the property or if comparable properties in the area are offered at lower prices.

  1. Reserve for unforeseen expenses:

Keep a financial buffer for unforeseen expenses. Renovations, repairs or other unexpected costs may arise and it's important to be prepared for them.

  1. Keep patience:

Buying a property is not a hasty decision. Take the time to consider all aspects and be patient until you find the property that meets your needs.

A well-thought-out real estate purchase requires time, research and diligence. By taking these tips to heart, you can ensure that you're not just buying a property, but creating a long-term home or profitable investment.
