Useful advices for real estate purchase

You need to pay attention to:
How much money I have?
How much I'm willing to spend and can I afford it?
You also must pay attention to costs of real estate you're buying : heating bills (gas, electricity..), water bills, insurance costs.
How to find corresponding real estate?
There are many ways which can help you with real estate purchase – hire a real estate agent, look up for advertisements, contact construction companies directly for the details about new real estates they are building on that area.
What to do when the offer is accepted?
When the owner accepts your offer, you have to consider:
- if it's possible to pay the deposit for property, real estate
- if compensation is required
- who will take care of work with transmission
- if you want to buy real estate with someone.
Although you can be thrilled with a certain house or a flat, but try to ignore excitement and stick to the basic rool : Ownership – check the ownership documents when you're buying the house. You can check for illegal construction in a land-registry office.
When you've established „clean papers“, you have to think about the real estate location. Try to imagine how would your day look like if you'd lived there? How far away is the tram stop? How often does bus drive? You have to think practically, how many nurseries, schools and libraries are there? How long will take you to get to work?
Maybe you haven't think about the neighbourhood; perhaps if there are a lot of young families with children, or a big shopping center is building in your neighbourhood? You also have to pay attention to construction quality, if walls, bricks and wood are old? Is there humidity – this is a problem which is difficult to fight with. Also, it's very important to know if the real estate has all the necessary connections – water, electricity, gas, sewage system. For the ones who have car, garage or parking space is more than welcome.
Interior decoration – would you have to invest in furniture, bathroom, parquet? These are not small expenses, especially when you have to buy all this at once. When all conditions are fulfilled and you are thrilled with your flat – think if this flat pays you off?
If you're going to move for some reasons, is this flat going to be profitable? Is it going to be possible to sell it in ten years from now for at least the same price you paid?
