Finances are the basis of every investment! That's why your affordability should be checked by a bank, another financial institution or a professional financial advisor. You will then know the maximum house or flat price you can afford. Make a list of the features that you will not do without under any circumstances (number of bedrooms, size of living space, whether it needs renovation or not, location, distance to schools and public transport, etc.) and another with key data that are "nice to have" (penthouse, quiet location, fireplace, lift, view, etc.). And then enter your search requirements on various internet portals and view suitable properties. If you still haven't found your future property after some time, you should pick up your two lists again and review them, because you will definitely have to be prepared to compromise, as your dream house or flat is just a dream.
