LEADING property solutions company Ohmyhome had shared the five usual missteps that prospective homebuyers can make and offers tips on how to avoid them.

Mistake #1 Choosing the Wrong Location Property experts say that real estate is a highinvestment purchase based primarily on location. Julian Sison, marketing manager of Ohmyhome, said prospective homebuyers must get to know all they can about the location of their future home: is it near an earthquake fault line? Are transport hubs accessible? They should also check out upcoming developments such as new infrastructure projects and new business and job opportunities.

Mistake #2 Not Knowing What Property Type Suits You

According to Ohmyhome, there are two types of property buyers: end-users and investors. The

Ohmyhome platform offers choices tailored to fit clients’ needs.

Mistake #3 Not Understanding Your Financial Options

To know and understand financial schemes open to them, prospective customers can engage Ohmyhome’s property consultants who are trained to assist them in their home buying journey.

Mistake #4 Underestimating the Full Costs of Buying a Home

Most potential homebuyers are indeed daunted by the costs. Some, on the other hand, think that buying a home simply entails paying for the unit or the house. They overlook other expenses, which often include the following: the documentary stamp tax, which is 1.5% of the selling price, fair market value or zonal value, among others.

Sison reiterates that “Ohmyhome’s team of professional agents welcomes inquiries from clients so they may be better informed about their purchase.

Mistake #5 Working with the Wrong Agent
