Why define purchasing criteria
If you define the search criteria, you will be able to more easily pre-select the properties offered on the market. This is even more important if you are considering a purchase with another person, for example your partner. The criteria depend, among other things, on your personal situation. A young person does not have the same needs as an older person or a family. The following criteria should be considered first:
Location
- Proximity to your place of work and places of interest
- Public transport (bus, tram, railway, airplane)
- Shops and leisure activities
- Nurseries, schools, university
- Environment and neighbourhood
The property
- Apartment on the garden level or on the attic or upstairs with balcony
- Detached, semi-detached or townhouse
- Modern or classic style
- New or old or even to be renovated
- Minimum number of rooms
- Minimum number of bedrooms
- Living area
- Parking spaces
- Garden or balcony
Finances
- Available equity capital
- Pension fund or 3rd pillar
- Define the budget (simulation on the internet, already contact your banker)
