Buying a House

Conduct a comprehensive study of the area in which you will buy, because you may face various problems if you do not make sure of some important points, including the following:

1. Waterlogging problem due to heavy rains during monsoon and hence humidity.
2. Make sure the house is located in a safe neighborhood to live in and there are no suspicious activities.
3. Make sure that people are friendly, kind, approachable and understand each other's needs and necessities.
4. Make sure that there are no problems with communications, main roads and that transportation is secure.
5. Markets are available, and it is preferable for the area to contain grocery stores, a pharmacy, etc., and ensure easy access to hospitals, schools, and universities.

There may be some defects related to the construction condition, such as:

1. Interior design problems.
2. Architectural design problems.
3. There are cracks in the walls.
4. There are broken pipes on the outside.

When buying a house, the house must have adequate air flow and ventilation in all rooms, including the kitchen and bathrooms, which keeps the house free of moisture so that microbes and mold do not grow in it, thus preserving your health and the health of your family.

Make sure you get enough sunlight before buying a home, because adequate sunlight is very important for maintaining a healthy atmosphere. It naturally kills bacteria and other microbes and prevents unpleasant odors in your home. It also keeps the home warm during the winter.

Make sure that the house has adequate water resources, because water is indispensable for any household and government water supply lines are considered essential water resources and must be available when you purchase the house otherwise there will be difficulty in obtaining clean water in your place of residence.

Make sure to research the plumbing system before buying the house, because they are hidden locations inside the house, but they are an important and integral part of a comfortable home. There may be leaks in the plumbing lines or rust on them, so make sure that they are all in good condition and that there is proper water flow. You have to make sure that all these things even if the apartment is new.

You should ensure that the septic system is in proper condition before purchasing a home, because if there is damage to the septic system, dampness, mold and unpleasant odors can occur, so septic repair costs should be estimated along with the price of the house.

The roof and balconies must be inspected when purchasing a new property because they are considered one of the most important aspects and components of real estate, and maintaining them poorly can lead to future problems including water leakage.

Know that roof repairs are expensive and should be factored in with the purchase price of the home. You should also make sure that the roof has adequate rainwater drainage and does not have any leakage problems.

Because the presence of leakage leads to serious problems such as damping problems, paint peeling, plant growth, pest problems, etc. inside homes.

Most old homes have cement or marble floors, so if you are thinking of keeping it when you buy the house, you should check the joints of the floor and walls, the general condition of the filling, and whether or not there are visible cracks on the floor.

New properties with tiled floors may also have these problems, so check this and consider replacing or repairing them, and be careful otherwise standing water may bother you in the future due to the incorrect slope of these floors.

Such as gaps around the frame, loose hinges and latches, creaking doors, cracked glass in window panes, rust in iron grilles, all these can make your stay in the house unpleasant after purchasing the house due to water leakage, dampness, etc.

Make sure that wooden doors, windows and other wooden structures are in good condition, because there may be rot in the wood. Everything that is made of wood must be protected with appropriate paint and finishing before purchasing a home.

It plays a big role in maintaining the integrity of all parts of the house and adds a lot to the beautiful appearance, from bathroom fixtures to doors and windows, so worn-out taps, faucets and shower heads should be replaced with new ones before buying a property.

The house must have appropriate electrical connections and wires. Be careful of any defects in the electrical circuit and faulty wires in the electrical panels. Make sure there are no errors because this may cause a fire. If there are malfunctions, estimate the price of the repairs before buying the house.

Make sure that the house is free of them by checking the corners of the house, the garden area and the doors, because they can be one of the hidden defects in the property.

The buyer must look for a suitable parking area, which is important and indispensable, because this ensures that your vehicles are kept safely.

When purchasing a home, most of the time buyers are so busy with the interiors of the home that they neglect to take a look at the parking area, so you must pay attention to this matter otherwise there will be a problem with parking your car later.

If the property you are buying is a house or an apartment for resale, try to deal with the owner directly, insist on a house inspection before handover as this will allay your fears, make sure that the current owner has the legal rights to the land and the house, and make sure that it is not mortgaged to any bank.

Don't underestimate the future resale potential of that home you're buying because something could happen that forces you to sell it and buy another home,

Be aware that the value of real estate continues to increase over time, so when buying a home, focus on the area and the good location because it is an important investment in your life, so do not overlook any small or large problem to avoid future surprises.
