Buying a property is a far-reaching decision - often with financial and personal consequences for decades to come. This makes it all the more important to clarify all relevant questions before the notary appointment. If you take a structured approach, avoid typical pitfalls and evaluate the property holistically, you will create security - and make a decision that will stand the test of time.
Realistically assess the building fabric, location and costs
How old is the roof? Has the heating been modernized? Is there any evidence of damp in the cellar? In addition to technical aspects, the location also plays a key role: infrastructure, sources of noise, development potential. Equally important: the running costs - i.e. property tax, insurance, reserve requirements and operating costs. An expert opinion can provide valuable support in the event of uncertainties.
Creating legal and financial clarity
Is the garage part of the property? Are there any rights of way, inherited burdens or easements? If you check these points early on, you will avoid any nasty surprises. The financing commitment should also be secured before the notary appointment - including ancillary costs. Well thought-out financing with reserves makes the purchase plannable and stress-free.
Prepare negotiations well
Well-informed buyers can negotiate more effectively - be it the price, the handover date or open points in the exposé. If you have any questions about fixtures and fittings, the energy performance certificate or planning permission, you should have them clarified in writing. This ensures a smooth transition - for both buyer and seller.
Conclusion
A real estate purchase needs to be well prepared. Those who carry out targeted checks, clarify questions and take a structured approach will make a safe decision - with a good feeling and a clear view of the future.
