Avoid these first-time home buyer mistakes with Century 21 Gold.

Owning a home has long been a symbol of achievement, however buying a first home can be a scary and daunting process for most.  The award-winning team at Century 21 Gold have the expertise and knowledge for helping first home buyers to avoid some common mistakes that can be made while purchasing a property

Picking a house without looking at the neighbourhood.
It may be the home you have been dreaming of, but annoying neighbours, busy roads or a nearby industrial zone can be a rude awakening you were not expecting. “Try spending some time in the area before you make an offer – talk to local business owners and residents to determine the pros and cons of living there,” advises Derryn Mayne, Licensed Agent from Century 21 Real Estate Gold Manurewa.

Skipping the Home Inspection

A home inspection can reveal serious information about the condition of a home and a professional inspector will often notice things most of us don’t.  “If the home needs major repairs that you can’t see, an inspection can help you negotiate with the current homeowners to have the issues fixed or adjust the price accordingly,” adds Derryn.

Not Visiting the Property Enough

Have a plan to visit the property multiple times before submitting your offer. After the original visit to the property, go home and sleep on it and and return a few days later.  If the home seller wants a quick sale, they may try to hurry the process or try to force you to make a hasty decision.

Some first-timers think they're being careful and clever, but they still may not be familiar with the unique and complicated homebuying process. Century 21 Real Estate agents are property experts and the friendly team at Century 21 Gold Real Estate in Manurewa can provide personal, reliable advice for first-home buyers.

 “We’ve helped countless first-home buyers get onto the property ladder. Who knows, you could be the next,” says Derryn.
