Have you decided to buy a modern or contemporary home? It's a project you shouldn't embark on without first setting a number of criteria. Polimmo La Maison can advise you on the priorities you need to take into account to ensure your purchase goes smoothly.
Buying a new home: good organisation is essential
Buying a property is not always a straightforward process, and it can be intimidating. It therefore requires careful monitoring at every stage of the project, from preparation to building. If your project is well structured, and everything is clear at every stage, you'll be able to take it on with peace of mind.
To answer all your questions and queries, you need the support of professionals who can give you clear, precise, personalised information. This is precisely the role of your homebuilder.
As a future homeowner, define your needs precisely
Buying your own home is undoubtedly the project of a lifetime. So it's vital that the property you're going to buy 100% matches your desires and needs. To do this, you need to define your priorities before you even start looking for your future home.
What would be your ideal home? What criteria would you want to stick to? Make a list in writing to set down your ideas so that everything is clear.
There's one criterion that you can't compromise on, and that you should define before you start any search: your budget. Define your borrowing capacity. What price are you going to pay for the house, and does that price include any works? You should also find out about any assistance you may be eligible for, such as zero-rate loans or social housing loans.
Define your needs and priorities
Once you've set your budget, there's another important criterion to consider: location. Don't forget, for example, that this can add value to your property on resale. But it also has to fit in perfectly with your expectations and lifestyle. Consider the following criteria before deciding on the location of your future home:
- Do you prefer an isolated property or one close to the village or town centre?
- How far is the nearest town?
- Do you need infrastructure such as schools or a crèche?
- Do you need public transport to get around?
- What shops are nearby?
- How do you see the site evolving over the next 20 years?
You've decided on the location of your property. Now let's move on to the most important criteria for your future home:
- Which style: modern or contemporary?
- How do you want it to be oriented, what view do you like?
- What are your criteria for neighbours?
- How many rooms do you need? And bedrooms?
- Does your house have to be on one level or do you want an upper floor?
- How many shower rooms or bathrooms do you need?
- Do you prefer a separate kitchen or an open-plan kitchen?
- Would you like the property to be sold with the land?
- Do you need a garage?
Clearly defining your priorities beforehand will be invaluable in developing your project. You can now rely on the advice of the Polimmo La Maison teams to help you find your ideal home. Our construction professionals are here to help you with your plans to buy a new home.
