1. Set your budget
Before starting your search, take the time to work out how much you can afford to spend. Take into account your income, your savings and the additional costs (notary, work, etc.). Need help? You can consult a financial adviser to draw up a solid plan.
2. Look for your ideal home
Once you have set your budget, start exploring the property market. Make a list of your criteria: number of bedrooms, preferred neighbourhood, desired floor area, etc. Use the services of an estate agency such as BIV Immobilier to benefit from its local expertise and access to exclusive properties.
3. View several properties
Don’t stop at the first house you like; it is rare to come across the ideal property straight away. Arrange several viewings to compare properties and assess their respective potential. Take notes on each property so you don’t lose track of your impressions, and be sure to ask the estate agent conducting the viewing all the relevant questions.
4. Make an offer to the seller
Once you have found the house that best matches your expectations, it’s time to make an offer. Your estate agency can advise you on what price to offer and help you negotiate with the seller.
5. Complete the administrative formalities
Has your offer been accepted? Congratulations! You now need to complete the administrative formalities. This includes signing the sales agreement (compromis) and obtaining a mortgage if necessary. Use a notary to make sure everything is in order.
6. Move into your new home
Once all the formalities have been completed, you can finally move in! Remember to plan your move and to personalise your new space to make it truly your home.
