What to consider when Buying a Home?
Our home is our comfortable, safe haven to relax, refresh and recharge. The home impacts our health and well-being - physical, mental and emotional. In a pleasant, soothing space we become more positive, productive, calm and creative.
The process of acquiring the home is exhilarating and empowering. At the same time, it is daunting and overwhelming.
Being prepared and knowing what to look for from the get-go could save us time and money. We are presented with many choices and have to make swift, big decisions. At the minimum, we should have clarity on location we prefer, orientation, layout, size and spaces.
When viewing the house for the first time, we can consider several other aspects, that will affect our living experience in the house down the road.
Certain rooms, such as the kitchen and bathroom, as well as accessibility provisions, are significantly more costly to alter and renovate and we should pay extra attention to their features.
Materials, views, sounds, scents and thermal comfort influence our well-being and we can focus on them as well during the initial viewing.
