Determine your individual needs
The reasons for buying property vary widely from one person to another. It is therefore extremely important to discuss your individual needs with your real estate agent before visiting a property.
Before making an appointment with your real estate agent, draw up a list of the factors important to you and determine your individual needs such as locality, price, type of property, number of bedrooms, surroundings, public utilities, and so on.
Check with your financial institution to find out how much you can afford to carry as a mortgage and have the loan amount preauthorized, or look this information up under "My borrowing capacity".
