What are the features that decide the price of a south house property?

Buying a house is always a little difficult and if you are looking for a sought after south house property, the struggle will only become worse. This is because the availability, features of the property and the area are all features that contribute to the decision of price of the property. 

Step 1

But whether you are going to buy a south house or not you should pay attention to the area and the state of the property. They are many novice buyers who have been tricked and fooled. Remember that a fool and his money are soon parted so learn more about buying property and save your money.

Step 2

Why should we examine the property before buying? When you buy a property you will have to check it well. This is because if there is a requirement for any maintenance or repair, then you will have to point it out early. You can ask the present owner to get the repairs done before you make the deal final. You can also ask a professional team to come in and check the property. 

Step 3

They will be able to do a detail check and give you a thorough report about the condition of the house. This will help you to judge the actual value of the property. If you are buying a south house property with a lot of problems then strike the deal for a much lower price. Spending a large amount on maintenance before reselling will lower your profit amount.

Step 4

What should we check for on the exterior of the south house property?

The main problems, that most properties have, are plumbing and seepage. These problems can destroy the property and bring down the overall value. If you are going to spend a large amount of your savings on a south house property, make sure that you really explore the property well. Here are some tips for finding out hidden problems. Start by checking the exterior of the south house. 

Step 5

If there is a problem that is obvious on the outside then you do not have to bother to go inside. Firstly check for cracks. Cracks in the wall, especially in the corners, can be a sign of improper construction and a weak structure. Though most south house properties are well constructed, it is always better to check. The next point is to look for faulty plumbing. Peeling paint around pipe can be a sign of leaking pipes. Peeling paint at the level near the ground indicates a damping problem. This could lead to a very serious problem later on.

What are the problems that we should check for inside the south house property?

The interior of the house is also just as important as the exterior of the house. Check out the tiles of your south house property. The tiles have to be laid well and not broken. If the house is carpeted, check the state of the carpet. Check the heating and cooling systems.

If the south house is being sold with appliances, have them checked for their state of working. Check the bathrooms of your south house carefully. Look for loose tiles and water leaks. Check the state of the bathroom fittings too. Does the bathroom have plug points inside? Are the electric points well away from water outlets? Is the construction of the bathroom safe? Also check for drainage of water.
