Before you start looking for property, it is a good idea to compile a list of what features and local infrastructure – compulsory and bonus – you require in a property and its suburb. For example, if you are starting a family, you may require a certain number of bedrooms; off-street car parking and a local school close by, whereas a swimming pool for the children may be a bonus.
Things to consider:
-
How many bedrooms does the property have?
-
Is it close to public transport, schools, shopping centres etc.
-
What are the council rates on the property?
-
What type of property are you looking for – a unit, townhouse, apartment, existing house, vacant land, or new home?
Rate the features you need in your life and compare with other properties and suburbs.
