When we talk to our clients about buying a property, we know it's the biggest investment they will make in their lifetime. Buying a home is not an easy task. We, at Hus Estate, know this well and are ready to share a few basic and very important steps we have learned from experience.

Step one: Set your budget!

Price is a key factor. You need to set clear criteria regarding your financial state. Whether you plan to buy the home of your dreams or you're buying an investment real estate, the first thing you need to do is to be aware of what funds are available to you. The budget determines what you will look for in the future. After analysing this thoroughly, there are three ways to finance the purchase of your future home:

• Personal means
• Bank credit
• Combination of both

Step No. 2: Study the market well

Research whether the home you want fits your budget so there is no difference between your expectations and what is available on the market at the time of your search.

Answer the following questions:

What are you looking for?

Think in perspective – whether your home will be comfortable in years to come. Specify the parameters of your search. Finding the "perfect" property is a complicated process.

Do you want to live on a specific floor?

Most often we hear from customers "Not on the first floor and not on the top floor!". Of course, if you have requirements for the floor on which you will purchase your future property, you should be aware of that. For example, if you don't want to live on the first floor, why? Research all the pros and cons before you choose. In our opinion, each floor has its own advantages and charm.

What can the top floors give us?

• Great panorama
• Cleaner air
• Light
• Quiet
• Seclusion

What can the lower floors provide?

The ground or first floor is not among the most desirable floors to live on due to people finding them easy to access from malicious people, noise and dirt, but this should not bother you at all because our complexes have 24/7 CCTV and controlled access. We, at Hus Estate, offer wonderful ground-floor apartments with large private verandas to turn into your own oasis in the hectic everyday life.

Step No. 3: Location, location and location!

The three factors that determine the price of the property are: location, location and location again. It is important to look not only in which area your future home is located, but also whether there is good infrastructure, good communications (like the Plovdiv City Park 3 gated complex – see the properties for sale here) – convenient transport, shops nearby, schools and kindergartens, and parks.

Step No. 4: Cozy home or functional investment?

Determine what purpose you are buying the property for – long-term living or rental investment.

• If you're buying the home of your dreams, consider whether what you're targeting meets your needs or those of your family.
• Buying a property for investment purposes is no less important than choosing your own home. The factors that determine the value of a home are many – mostly location, building, finishes, etc. Calculate what conditions and amenities you can offer prospective tenants to determine the rental price. Before you take that important step, research how rental home prices are doing.

Step No. 5: Furnished vs. Unfurnished. Do you love little details?

When buying a home, it is important to determine at what stage you are willing to "take it".

The greatest advantage of buying a furnished apartment is that you are able to move in immediately. Such a solution would save time and money. If you can’t or don't have time to furnish your home, this is the perfect option for you.

For those of you who have your own vision – an unfurnished apartment is the perfect field for expression.

And most importantly!

Once you have selected the right property for you, you can deposit by signing a deposit agreement. The purchase and sale of real estate goes through two main stages:
Signing of a preliminary contract between the parties
Final notary certification of the transaction in the form of a title deed.
