Step 2: Location, Location, Location

The location of your property is the most important decision a home buyer can make. Location influences your lifestyle, your status in the community, your convenience to work, shops, schools, recreation facilities, security etc.

The idea is to pay as little as possible to obtain the best possible location, and fortunately townhouse developments often meet that requirement very well.

A simple rule of thumb is to consider that you need to get to schools and places of work every day of the working week. Visits to places of recreation and shopping are less frequent.

Try to buy your home close to school and your place of work.

In this short video I look at location in a bit more detail.
