Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction....
Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction; it's a chapter in your story.
Buying a home is a major decision, and it's crucial to figure out your must-haves before diving into the process.
Before hitting up the websites, jot down your deal-breakers:
* Pick your preferred suburbs.
* Consider the vibe of neighbouring areas.
* Think about local schools.
* Check out the proximity to shops, sports, cafes, and restaurants.
* List your dream home features.
* Decide on the importance of a garden or balcony.
* Determine the number of bedrooms you need.
* Consider if a garage is a necessity.
* Ensure your wishlist aligns with your budget.
Now, let's talk money:
Deposit:
Decide how much upfront cash you're comfortable putting down to secure your dream home. Generally, a larger deposit increases your chances of getting a loan, but it depends on your lender and financial situation.
First-time buyers might qualify for government assistance.
Other Costs:
While property inspection reports aren't mandatory, it's wise to get one to uncover potential hidden costs. Choose an inspector with professional indemnity insurance who follows the New Zealand Property Inspection Standards.
Once you've sealed the deal on your new home, take a breather—you've earned it!
Together, let's turn the key to a future filled with endless possibilities! 🌟🔑
