Build your buying brief
Decide what matters first.
Separate needs from extras.
List essential rooms, storage, parking and outdoor space. Consider guests, a home office and future changes. A well-suited layout can matter more than a headline area figure.
Plan your move.
Decide when you need to move and how flexible that date is. An established apartment and an off-the-plan purchase involve different inspection opportunities and timing questions.
At the inspection
Compare the details you will live with.
Bring a short checklist so you assess each property consistently. Check the living room with your furniture in mind, bedroom access, natural light, storage and balcony usability.
Spend time listening as well as looking. Discuss privacy, ventilation and the location of lifts, shared areas and neighbouring properties. Ask what is included in the sale, including parking or storage rights.
Your apartment checklist
- Internal area versus balcony or terrace area
- Bedroom sizes, wardrobes and furniture placement
- Aspect, outlook, light and privacy
- Parking, storage and access arrangements
- Fixtures, appliances and condition
- Building rules, shared facilities and proposed or current outgoings
The full purchase picture
Look beyond the asking price.
Ask your lender about your borrowing position and total purchase budget. Have your conveyancer review the contract and relevant property documents. Request information about ongoing building charges and any identified works or proposed costs.
For an off-the-plan apartment, compare the floorplan, inclusions and specifications carefully. Ask how changes, construction timing and settlement are handled in the contract. Have your advisers explain those terms before you sign.
For an investment, assess rental assumptions, vacancy, management fees, finance and tax treatment independently. Depreciation should be reviewed for the specific property and your circumstances.
