Useful tips for buying property

When should we view the property?

It's best to view a property on a weekday and during the day, so you can realistically assess natural light and the noise level of the area.

How much can a renovation cost?

The cost of a renovation depends heavily on the property's condition and the type of work — for example, the cost of a roof renovation depends on whether it involves just the covering or the whole structure.

What should we watch for when buying a home?

Watch out for hidden defects such as dampness, structural cracks, or outdated mechanical systems.

How should we prepare for a property viewing?

Prepare a list of questions about utilities and past renovations — a professional inspection often reveals problems you wouldn't notice at first glance.

The most common mistakes to avoid when buying

Don't rely solely on first impressions — sellers try to present the property in the best light. A professional assessment prevents costly surprises.

Building regulations and requirements

Building regulations are complex and vary by location. A simplified permitting process is often available for family homes under 300 square meters.
