Understandably, every first-time home buyer is very excited about the prospect of living in their own home. However, one may also be somewhat overwhelmed by the thought and be at a loss about how to go about the whole thing.

Let us take a quick look at the general steps involved in a home buying transaction.

  • Identify your requirements and finalize a budget - The very first thing you need to do is to define what you and your family want your home to have. This has to be matched with the budget you are working in. Your desires may have to be trimmed a little, but it definitely won't be advisable to aspire for something you cannot afford.
  • Research extensively to find the best available home - Don't be too excited and pick up any property you look at. Be patient, conduct an extensive research, look at every possible option available in the market and think everything over thoroughly before finalizing the home you would be buying.
  • Conduct a thorough appraisal of the place - You must appraise the home carefully, looking over every nook and corner of the place and checking out the condition of utilities like water and electricity meters, etc. Consider how much of repairs and painting the place needs to calculate the price you would pay willingly for it.
  • Quote a price and negotiate with the seller - Make your offer to the seller who will, in all probability, be asking for a better price. Be prepared to negotiate; you can take the help of your real estate agent or a senior in the family to join you in driving a strong bargain.
  • Check the title deed - Before giving out your hard-earned money, it is critically important that you make sure that the seller has a clear title deed to the property. Get guidance of a trusted real estate agent and knowledgeable friends and relatives so that you are not duped.
  • Confirm compliance with legal and other formalities - See to it that the home you are planning to buy conforms to all the legal and municipal guidelines and does not have any outstanding dues that you might be held liable to pay when you become the owner.
  • Seal the deal - After agreeing upon a price with the seller and satisfying yourself that everything is fine with the property, it is time to make the due payment, complete all the paperwork, close the deal and become the proud new owner of the home.

Go through all the mentioned stages in a careful manner so that you and your family can enjoy comfortable, secure and carefree living in a self-owned home.
