Make a list
Before even going to property viewings, make sure that you have already prepared with a list. The items there should answer the question, What do I want in a home?
Make a list of your criteria for a good beachfront property. Highlight your needs or those factors that would appeal to your more practical nature, and your wants or those factors that would appeal to your senses.
Prioritize! Take note of the things that you think would be the top considerations when buying a property. Is it the price? Is it the location? Does it have to be fully furnished? Is it the security?
Mark the items which you think can be flexible and negotiable and those factors which you adamantly deem as necessary and cannot be budged from your criteria.
Always go back to the list. After you’ve gone and viewed a prospective property, scan your list and take down notes. Compare the different properties and find out which comes closest to your list. You can even make a chart if you find it more useful.
Doing this can help you during decision-making.
