When buying a real estate object abroad, the buyer, as a rule, is faced with the fact that Rielter is trying to present in a favorable light exactly those apartments and houses that he needs to realize as soon as possible. How in this case not to become the owner of a real estate imposed by a seller, but to buy exactly the one that is suitable in all respects?
The easiest and most effective way to do this is not to rush and find out from Realter all the information of interest. This will make it possible not only to independently make a full choice, but also meaningfully control the entire process of purchase, in order to know exactly where to invest with the maximum benefit. What needs to be clarified by the seller in relation to the attached apartment or house?
1. Infrastructure.
You need to find out if real estate is provided with what is necessary for a comfortable residence:
· The presence of an additional paid and free service in a residential complex or a cottage village (pool, gym, spa, and so on); · Procedure for the protection of the residential complex; · access to parking; to a broad -up Internet through which, for example, a good Forex library and currency trading can be available; rest; · the ability to call a doctor at home;.
2. Location.
When the proposed property in the city is located, it is necessary to clarify in which area it is located, and also what disadvantages and advantages have this area.
If we are talking about buying a house on the coast, you need, of course, to find out how far it is from the sea. Moreover, we need to clarify what is interested in the real distance on the ground, and not in the topographic straight. It is also nice to find out whether to go down to the sea from the hill or not.
When buying a house in rural areas, it is necessary to find out how far it is from the nearest major settlement.
3. Layout.
Be sure to get acquainted with the detailed layout of the house or apartment. It is necessary to find out the following: whether there are adjacent or passing rooms, what is the area of the rooms where the bathroom and the kitchen are located, where the window openings are located and what directions of the world they go, whether there are a veranda and attic, whether there are pantries and other auxiliary rooms.
4. Form of ownership.
You certainly need to clarify the form of ownership of the proposed real estate object. At the same time, it should be found out whether it is possible to get it in full possession (Freehold) or is it only about lease right (Leasehold). It should be borne in mind that in every country on property of real estate there are its own nuances, therefore, in order to avoid misunderstandings, it makes sense to consult with a lawyer specializing in this field before making a purchase.
5. Payments. It is very important to find out what utility bills and who will have to pay monthly. It is also worth finding out the annual property tax rates, the procedure for its calculation and payment terms.
6. Control.
No less significant is the question of who and how to manage the real estate object. And to whom exactly will it have to contact on the issues of maintenance and repair of housing.
7. Inspection.
In case of suspicions about the state of a house or apartment, it makes sense to contact independent experts. By the way, in some countries (for example, in France), such an independent inspection is required, and the cost of its implementation is included in the price of the property.
