For all of us, buying property brings a sense of freedom and poise
that cannot be attained by a renting a home, apartment or a villa. The
list of things that you want in your home is the second most important
factor as before that you must know a certain pointers that can help you
in buying good Dubai property. Before starting the property hunt, make
sure you finalise your options to narrow down your search. Figure out
whether you want to buy an apartment or a villa to call home.

Apparently, your chosen villa may seem to exactly
match the image you have in mind of a dream home but before spending a
fortune, take some time to reconsider your decision and expand your
scrutiny process beyond wall colours, size, architecture style and
asking price. When you like something and want it badly, emotions can
certainly cloud your ability to make a sane decision by triggering the
impulse to buy and preventing you from asking relevant questions. Let’s
review a few points that you must ask before buying apartments or villas
in Dubai.

Location is of prime importance

The most
important thing to ponder over about any villa in Dubai before
finalising one option is its location. If you do not like the
construction pattern of your villa, you can make amendments in its
design after a while but the one thing you can never change about your
villa is its location. Be very cautious about your property’s location
because it is going to be your address in Dubai for a considerable
period of time if not forever. Check the infrastructure quality around
your home, the distance from any major road, the ease of access, access
to parks, shopping mall, schools and other institutions.

Do not forget to check the neighbourhood

Make
sure that it’s not just the villa that meets your expectation but the
neighbourhood as well. Real estate experts suggest to compromise on
villa localities but they say not to compromise on the neighbourhood and
the infrastructure. It is far better to own a small villa with the
nicest neighbourhood than to have a big villa in a bad location with
broken and filthy roads, poor streetlight system, security and sewerage
system. Before finalising a finished property, visit it numerous times
during the week, on the weekend, during the day and in the evening as
well. Make sure you have a great experience every time. You can also
talk to different property agents and neighbours to get an idea whether
the area is safe enough for people to live in and for walking, jogging
and playing.

Proximity to retail and public areas

While
being mesmerised with the beauty of your chosen villa, you may forget
to check the proximity of your property to retail and public areas. Make
sure retail outlets and superstore are near to your home and preferably
within a walking distance so that you can easily get basic necessities.
People do not always like to take out the car to go for grocery
shopping and to pay utility bills.

Get a property inspection

Nothing
is perfect in this world but it does not mean that you should spend
your hard earned money for a defected home. There will be a few apparent
flaws that can be amended but knowing that something needs to be fixed
can help you negotiate a lower price. You can also hire professional
services for this purpose which does not cost much but can save you
millions. This kind of evaluation can unveil any faulty structural issue
and any other issue covered by paint or wood panelling.

If you will keep all of these points in mind while searching for villas in Dubai, you will surely get your dream home.
