Start with your priorities
Write down your total budget, preferred neighbourhoods, property type and intended move-in date. Include room in your budget for applicable taxes, registration, professional advice and moving costs. Ask lenders directly for current terms rather than relying on a advertised rate.
Compare properties in person
Visit shortlisted homes and sites. Check the approach road, condition, natural light, water arrangements and the journey to places you visit regularly. Ask what is included in the quoted price and request written details.
Arrange independent verification
Before paying a deposit, obtain the property documents and have a qualified local lawyer review title, ownership, approvals and any encumbrances. Requirements differ by property, so do not treat a listing description as legal verification.
