How to find a luxury property for sale that you can call home

Click here to view our selection of properties for sale

We all know that a home is so much more than a house; it is where memories are made, where relationships are fostered, and where we grow. It is for this reason that finding a property for sale and relocating is sometimes a highly personal and vulnerable endeavour. It means uprooting one’s current life and making huge changes. It also involves a major financial and emotional investment and keeping things above board is essential.

From the start, we at Fine & Country South Africa are here for you. Not only will we assess your needs and pair you with potential homes, but we will help to facilitate the process until you sign that dotted line. We prioritise assisting you in finding your dream home and taking care of all the hassle for you. Below, we explore a few tips to help you narrow down your search and make sound decisions.

Let your future goals guide you

People invest in property for sale for several reasons. Some want a passive income stream and purchase a space to rent out to tenants. Others want a vacation home for those December holidays. Many buy properties to renovate them and resell them for profits. For those seeking a long-term abode to call home, however, the consideration of one’s future goals becomes much more important.

Couples who plan on having children, for example, will need to invest in more space and opt for locations with good schools and family friendly places of interest. People planning on retiring soon may choose quiet neighbourhoods with easy access to leisure activities and medical facilities if need be. Listing your future goals will give you an idea of essential features in the property for sale you are seeking.

Think about your ideal home

Prospective buyers often get so caught up in their lifestyle needs that they forget about what they truly want. You are seeking a haven to call your long-term home, which means you are entitled to investing in luxury amenities that speak to you as a person. This may mean pursuing a property for sale with an at-home studio, a large garden, or even a spacious area solely for entertaining guests. Investing in homes with additional spaces that you truly want will ultimately bring you joy and fulfilment.

A residence that embraces your lifestyle

Viewing a property for sale is complex because it is sometimes challenging to visualise yourself owning a foreign space. Before making snap judgements about a property you view, determine to enter it objectively and reserve all conclusions until you have weighed all your options. In the end, the home will need to embrace who you are. Questions to ask while viewing a potential home include:

• Will my furnishings and décor seamlessly merge with this space?
• Can this home absorb my sense of style without looking out of place?
• Do the amenities complement my strengths (such as a large kitchen for those who love to cook, or a lush garden for DIY landscapers)?
• Does the space inspire my creativity and generate new and fresh ideas when it comes to furnishing and decorating each room?
