Looking For A House, Apt, A Home, A Place To Stay....

This few weeks, or the last few months since coming back, I have been looking for a place, esp in Klang valley, as I think I need a place. Initially I was not looking seriously, just going from one place to another, take a "see and look" kind of approach. The last two weeks, I was more serious, looking at a few places, seeing show units and showrooms, talking to friends, bankers, developers, real estate agents, and my sister...etc.

You have to consider the locations, the unit, the design, the price, the budget you have, the "worthiness" of the project in terms of finishing, in terms of management, then you consider whether they have parking lots (1, 2, or 3), then you have to consider the legal fees and stamp duty who bears what, land title, the completion date (if it is not completed as yet).
When you have too many options, it will not be good, as you tend to get more confused....sometimes, and you might also get a bit tired and exhausted when you are going from one place to another. And when you see show units, I guess you will buy almost all projects you visited assuming money is not a problem.

Realistically, I think as a buyer, esp the first time buyer, I think most importantly, is a place that is reasonable with your budget, location wise, facility wise, environment wise, design wise....you see, I have already had listed a few items for your own checklist.
Then you have to consider if it is on the roof-top, and if the rooftop comes with a reinforced concrete, as you are worried of leakage, then about mgt fees, and also on how about transfer of title....Strata title....etc. Oh yes, and the key point, whether you have your relatives or family  members nearby esp if you are not in the country always, and you need someone to help and take a look.....this is another concern.
Next, you need to also meet the sales personnel, as by talking to them then you can make good partnership or good friendship with them, and they will give you a better idea about the place, about the unit, about the conditions, about the contract...remember we are all human beings first.....haha.

And you need to think over and over, lying your head on top of your pillows and think, is this the right choice, is this going to be fine, is this going to be a good place.....do I make the choice now....etc. Headache in a way, but fun in another way.....but somehow, quite time consuming.
