AI summary
Buying your first home requires thorough preparation. When searching, assess the immediate street, neighbours, land slope, and sunlight. Research the home's building materials for potential issues.
Financially prepare by checking council rates and getting house insurance quotes early. A mortgage broker is invaluable for navigating loans.
Before making an offer, research what similar homes have sold for. Complete due diligence like a builder's report and legal review beforehand to strengthen your position, especially for auctions.
