After all, not only will it probably be the most expensive purchase you ever make in your lifetime, but it may just be the place you reside in for the rest of your life.
For these reasons, it is important to consider all aspects of the purchase, especially if it is a high rise condo or loft.
A successful home purchase will rely on your ability to find a real estate agent who is familiar with the market.
Many agents specialize and you should find one that specializes in the sale and purchase of condos and lofts.
The right real estate agent will know all about what is available and will help you find just the right home.
With this type of ownership, youwill be charged either monthly or yearly fees to cover the expenses incurred by the community owned property.
The fees cover maintenance and upkeep of the building. Ask your Realtor about the fees and amenities before you make a commitment to purchase.
You will want to go over this thoroughly so you understand what can and cannot be done in the unit you are purchasing.
Reviewing the HOA budget and meeting minutes will also give you an idea of how the community is run and where the fees go.
If there is a lot of conflict between members of the community, you may decide to reconsider and look for another building.
Whether you plan to do renovations or not, it is important to look at the building plans for the unit you are considering.
You may have the telephone wires to the whole building running through your unit and, should you wish to renovate, this may play a factor in what you can and cannot do in your own condo or loft.
An inspection of the community owned areas will also give you a good idea of how the building is operated.
Make sure the areas are kept clean and repaired, because if they're not, most likely it will not change after you move in.
If you are looking at a condo or loft as an investment, this is important and you should discuss it with your real estate agent.
When you find a unit you want, make the purchase with the condition that it passes a professional building inspection.
The inspector will come in and provide you with details on the condition of the unit and building, as well as any repairs that should be made by the owner prior to purchase.
