Score the house before the house scores your emotions.
A beautiful kitchen can distract from a bad commute, high monthly costs or maintenance you never wanted. Give each property a score out of 5 in these six areas.
Budget Fit
Purchase price plus rates, levies where applicable, insurance, security and likely maintenance.
Space Fit
Bedrooms, living areas, garden, garages, storage and whether the layout suits the household.
Security Fit
Freestanding security, complex controls, estate access and how comfortable the setup makes you feel.
Location Fit
School run, work route, shopping, healthcare, family visits and the roads you use every day.
Maintenance Fit
Roof, garden, pool, paving, boundary walls and whether you actually want the upkeep that comes with the home.
Future Fit
Will the property still make sense if your household, work pattern or financial priorities change?
Do not compare every Parkrand property as though it is the same product.
The most useful comparison is usually between properties of a similar type, size, condition and security environment.
Six things to check after you have admired the kitchen.
Know your likely buying range.
Home-loan pre-approval or pre-qualification can help define a more realistic search range before you start comparing properties in earnest.
It is not final bond approval. The lender still makes the final credit decision on the actual application and transaction.
Also calculate the ownership costs beyond the bond repayment. A property that technically fits the bank's range may still be uncomfortable once rates, levies, insurance and maintenance are added.
Do not confuse “good suburb” with “good deal”.
Parkrand attracts different tenant profiles and offers several property types, but the investment result still depends on the individual numbers.
Compare realistic rental income with the purchase price, rates, levies where applicable, insurance, finance cost, maintenance, vacancy and management before deciding whether the property works as an investment.
