Read the area brief ↗The considered buyer
A good property decision survives the spreadsheet.
Price per square foot is a useful reference, not a conclusion. Start with the way you plan to live, then test the numbers and the building.
Estimate your repayment ↓01
Shortlist the life, not the postcode
Commute, schools, daily errands, noise and flood exposure matter before a development brochure does.
02
Compare the total monthly cost
Include financing, maintenance, sinking fund, assessment, insurance, parking and realistic repairs.
03
Inspect the building and paperwork
Review management quality, defects, title status, restrictions, outstanding charges and recent transactions.
04
Stress-test the decision
Model higher rates, vacancy, renovation overruns and a slower resale before you commit.
