Type of property |
|
Based on your need, you should decide whether you want a villa, townhouse or an apartment. |
|
Location |
|
Narrow down the areas that you would prefer to live in. You can do this by driving around and getting a feel of the neighbourhoods you might want to live in. |
|
Budget |
|
How much can you spend? Set higher and lower limits on the amount you are willing to spend. |
|
Financing |
|
What kind of financing are you looking for? The banks in the UAE are now offering a wide range of financing alternatives for property buyers. Talk to several banks about what they can provide, and make sure your paperwork is up to date. |
|
Hiring a realtor |
| |
Search the local market for a realtor that understands your situation, objectives, budget and financing options. Make sure that your realtor is not simply looking to offload a property on you, or in a hurry to make a commission. If a realtor is not willing to take the time to find out about what you need, go to another one. |
|
Negotiating |
| |
Have you ever negotiated for a property before? Unless you are a professional property buyer, leave the negotiating to the specialists. They know the market, they understand all the details, and can ensure that you do not agree to anything too quickly. |
