Buying a house is a very serious matter that comes into our lives. It can be risky to invest your money in buying any old house you find. You must have some guidelines that can help you decide which house is the best for you.

You can personally do your home work or seek knowledge from Encore Property Group as we have a wide knowledge of the area. - Make sure you can afford it
Your budget is everything when buying your own home. What you WANT is always different from what you need,so be practical. Make sure that you get the most “Bang for your Buck” with your money. Seek help or ask for suggestions from the Encore Property Team, who have knowledge in real estate prices. If you can’t stay for at least a year and will want to sell, buying a house may not be right for you. You may lose a whole lot of money if you sell it urgently. - Make sure it fits your lifestyle
Make your house your home. Be sure it really fits in with your lifestyle. A good example of this is if you’re working in an office, a good place to buy is near or in the vicinity of that office. If you love nature, a good place to buy is outside the city with clean air, near parks, or near the beach. Your personality and lifestyle really matters when looking for a house. Make sure to look at its suburbs first and try to gather some information about the area and its surroundings. Also try to consider the kind of neighbors you will have. - Consider your future plan
Just married? You may want to consider how many kids you want to have. You should take this into consideration for the number of rooms or the space you need. If you can afford it, a house near a good school is better. School districts are more important to home buyers, therefore, it will increase your property values. - Be organised
It is very important to make your home document files organized and safe. It will prove helpful when making payments related to the property and may assist in taxation requirements if applicable. Down the track at re-sale, having paperwork on hand can be extremely useful.
