How to Identify the Best Home for you and your Family?

Fulfilling the dream of your own home is one of the most important events in people’s lives, however, when we get fully into the search, we realize that it is not as simple as we thought and the doubts, and frustrations are usually present when choosing the ideal house.

That is why we have put together this guide to help you identify the perfect home for you and your family:

Good location

Whether you decide to live in the city center or on its surroundings, it is essential to pay attention to the public services and transportation services that are in place. It is important that the home is easy of access through multiple roads and, if possible, close to supermarkets, pharmacies, shops, parks, and places that you want to visit with your family.

Property condition

A brand-new property usually has a higher price, but it guarantees that for many years you will not have any type of inconvenience; However, paying attention to the state of the construction and the quality of the materials, you can find homes that are several years old and do not present any type of problems.

Do not be guided by the first impression and make sure that the general condition is good. Ask about the age of the electricity and water pipes, observe if it has cracks or leaks. It is essential, before making the transaction, to know in advance if it is necessary to carry out some type of repair to the home.

Dimensions

When choosing a home, it is important to take into account your family situation, the number of people who will occupy the house and think about the future, since if there are children, they will eventually grow up and you might need extra rooms.

Building orientation

Analyzing the orientation, you can know the entry of light and heat into the house from the sun. A well-lit home gains space and provides us with a better quality of life and well-being than a dark one. We would also save on the periodical use of lighting.

Floor

If we decide to live in a building, it is advisable to take into account the floor in which the apartment is located: for older people it is preferable to choose low floors, in case there is a power cut and they will have to use the stairs. If you are looking for tranquility, on the highest floors there might be less noise, as it is further from the street.

Expenses

It is important to consult about the extra expenses that you will have to pay monthly such as the maintenance of the elevator, pool, garden, and cleaning of social areas.

Garage

If you have a vehicle, it is crucial that the property has a garage or parking spot; if not, it is advisable to visit the area to verify that there are parkings for rent.

Advice and consulting

It is important to have the help of people dedicated to real estate who, through a market study and knowledge, will make it easier for you to find your dream home.
