Like anyone else in Singapore, you need a place to call home. However, a house may not be exactly what you need. You need a condo! Buying a condo is supposed to make your life much more comfortable, as opposed to buying a home. Mayfair Gardens Condo is one such property. With a condo, you won’t have to repair the swimming pool, trim the fence, fix the leaking roof, etc. But you only get to enjoy these pros if everything goes as planned. That is why you should take your time and make a proper decision when buying a condo.

The whole process of buying a condo is full of risks so you should not go at it alone. There is more to it than meets the eye. As they say, the devil is in the details. Buying a condo, such as the Boulevard 88 Condo, involves a lot of information to scrutinize, and who knows how many devils could be lurking behind each aspect? So do not assume you know the twists and the turns. It is advisable you bring in professionals to guide you so that you don’t make mistakes. With the help of the experts, you have little to worry about.

These are the professionals whose expertise you should seek when buying a condo.

Condo Inspectors

Condo inspectors are trained and experienced in checking out the faults that may exist. These typically include the air conditioning, heating, electrical system, plumbing, swimming pool condition, door and window operation, the condition of the balconies and many more. The seller may deliberately or unintentionally lie about the state of the condo. After all, he is selling and is likely to hide some unpleasant facts about the property. Only an inspector who is determined to find the whole truth will take time to unearth seemingly minor details.

For instance, a small crack on the wall may seem insignificant but can be a sign the condo has serious structural problems. A qualified inspector will put question marks on it and take time to find out its origin. Could the building be tilting? Why is there a foul smell in one of the rooms? Could the drains, ducts or vents be not operating?

After the inspection, the inspector will provide you with a detailed report about the condo, and this will inform your buying price and make you negotiate from the point of knowledge, not ignorance as some careless buyers do.

The Attorney

You may not be able to understand all the legal terms or legal procedures in the process of buying a condo. Singapore, like anywhere else, has its fair share of dupers who are more than happy to strike a deal with an ignorant buyer. Wading through these murky waters on your own is risky. You need an attorney to walk you through every step to avoid any mishaps. Furthermore, legal requirements like taxation and licensing may not be done correctly if you go through the process alone.

If you have to take legal action against the seller if the deal goes awry, the attorney will be at hand to represent and argue your case as you pursue other personal issues. You will not have to keep going to court every now and then. The same applies if you are the one sued.

Real Estate Agents and Brokers

Real estate agents and brokers know the market trends and will advise you on when or where to buy. They can negotiate on your behalf and, unlike you, they cannot be carried away by emotions. They rely on facts provided by the inspectors and nothing else. They will also offer you advice on how to go about the buying process.

Conclusion

The fact that you have engaged several professionals shouldn’t mean you remain in the background. You should be concerned about every detail presented to you, even if it’s a property as prestigious as Fourth Avenue Residences Condo. Remember at the end of the day it is you buying the property, not the experts.
