4 Very important steps to remember when buying a home

Four of the most important steps to remember when buying a home are:

1) Building inspection - absolutely always get a professional building inspector to examine the structure prior to closing the transaction. Its a good idea to accompany the inspector during the inspection, as you'll learn a lot about your new home !

2) Appraisal - even if you're not using a bank, ie paying cash, an appraisal is a good idea, as it will give you an unbiased third party value of the home.

3) Termite inspection - always have this done, no ifs, ands or buts !

4) Survey - don't leave it to chance that some tree, or wall, or driveway is part of the property. A survey will clarify all of the boundary lines, show any encroachments, and for a little extra, you can have the surveyor draw in the location of the house.

I hope you find all these tips helpful in your real estate acquisition.
