1. Why Do People Regret Buying A House?: They Buy With Their Emotions!
When emotions are high, intelligence is low. If you fall in love with a property, you are likely to pay too much or overlook red flags.
You need to put formulas over feelings. It can be difficult to do this when buying a property to live in. This is one of the many reasons to rent where you live, and buy an income producing rental property instead!
2. Why Do People Regret Buying A House?: They Don’t Understand Leasehold!
If you buy a leasehold property, you need to understand the terms. What is the ground rent, and service charges? When can they go up, and how much are they likely to go up by?
If you don’t fully understand the leasehold terms, and the charges that apply to you, walk away!
3. Why Do People Regret Buying A House?: They Don’t Understand How Mortgages Work!
If you don’t understand how mortgages work, what interest rates are, or other basic things about buying a property, don’t buy!
Spend time understanding the basics before buying. Continue renting until you are sure you are actually ready.
