Bangalore : If you are moving out from parents home for the first time or owning a home after renting years, buying a home is a devastating errand. When buying your first home there are a lot of things to consider. How long you are going to live? How much you are planning to invest? Where you want to buy your first home? What kind of lifestyle you like - Suburban lifestyle or urban lifestyle. Keep in mind all these questions while shopping around.Suburban lifestyle is flexible which offers chance to play and enjoy the neighborhood where urban areas offer good education, career, culture and social.

Here are the few points to keep in mind before buying your first home.

Can I meet the expense of it?  : This seems very obvious, but still you should consider. Buying a first home will have a great impact on your monthly finances so getting pre approved before buying your first home is the first step. In home buying process there is more to consider than monthly mortgage installments as it includes many concealed and forthright charges such as moving expenses, operating expenses for maintenance, Electrification charges, down payments, taxes, member ship charges, new utensils and furniture and utility bills. Create a financial statement for home owner ship outlay and decide to buy a two or three bed room apartment or a single family home with carefree lifestyle.

Buy or build : When compared to remolding and upgrading an older home, purchasing a new home can be little bit expensive. Updating can often be overpriced, if you spend more money for costly tools to finish the project without experience. Do research and decide to revamp an older home after purchasing or buying a new home before signing.

Location: After great hunting you may find your dream home, you may even fall in love. It has the entire things a beautiful kitchen, green surroundings, huge garage and top notch amenities. But while signing wait for a moment and think about location and neighborhoods. In few areas the property prices will escalate in a short period, but it’s rare. Before buying your dream home do research by visiting the vicinity at different times and ensure all the outdoor amenities.

Professional broker charge: Many buyers think that if we can do ourselves why we need a help of professionals. Hiring a professional lawyer or realtor is up to you. Buying process involves too many risks; a successful realtor and a professional can assuage home shopping stress and helps you to choose the home which suits you and mainly helps in bidding process. It will cost extra money, but it is all worth.

Home Inspection charges: Every buyer should consider home inspection before buying your dream home. Home buyer alone cannot find out the existing structural problems and drainage nightmares. The only way to find out the structural problem is to consult a reputable home inspector who has building and engineering background. He will protect your place from costly repairs. Home inspection cost you around thousands of money but it will avoid major issues.
