Buying a home is a big decision which requires many factors to consider before making a purchase. Here are some key things to think about when buying a home:

1. Location: The location of the property can have a big impact on its value and your enjoyment of it. Consider factors such as proximity to schools, public transportation, shopping facilities, as well as the overall safety and desirability of the neighbourhood.
2. Size and layout: Consider the size of the property and the layout of the rooms to make sure they meet your needs. For example, if you have a large family, you may need a home with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.
3. Condition: The condition of the property can affect its value and your ability to live in it comfortably. Look for signs of damage or wear and tear and factor in the cost of any necessary repairs or renovations when considering the purchase price.
4. Affordability:  Make sure  the property is within your budget. Consider different payment options such as Rent-to-Own and other costs you can afford associated with homeownership.
5. Future plans:  Consider your long-term plans and how they may impact your decision to buy a particular property. For example, if you plan to start a family in the next few years, you may want to look for a home with enough space to accommodate a growing family.
