Building a new property is an exciting journey, but can be daunting at the same time. To get you started, here are the top 5 things to consider when building your dream home.
Land Size
This may be the obvious one but you must ensure the land size suits your house design. Is your family growing? Do you need a large backyard to accommodate pets? This is just a few of many things to consider prior to purchasing land.
Resale Value
Keep everything neutral when designing your home. This will attract more potential buyers and allow them to imagine themselves living in the property.
Storage
In my opinion, you can never have enough storage. There are many clever ways to incorporate storage in your home without reducing space for the important stuff.
Upgrades
Go with upgrades that are actually worth the money. For example, the kitchen is generally located at the hub of the home. This is a great area to spend the extra bucks to create and impact or to make life easier for you. Kitchen upgrades can be a larger oven, premium tap wear and even additional storage.
Research Builders
Do your research! There are so many contractors out there and it is worth spending to time hunting down the perfect builder that you can trust. Find reviews from real people who have had great experiences themselves, this can help significantly with your search.
