CONSIDERATIONS WHEN PURCHASING A HOME .
For many people , house hunting can be one of the most fun things to do , but for others , it can be daunting ! Here are some key tips to always consider that will help you not only find your next home , but the best home and investment for you !
Always be mindful of the things you cannot change once you purchase your home !
LOCATION It may be obvious but you can ' t change the location of the home you just bought so choose that location wisely ! Look not only to move to a city that suits your needs but work with a professional that knows the neighborhoods right down to the streets and pathways .
SIZE OR SPACE A great tip is to always buy the largest lot size you can comfortably afford and maintain for a detached home and for condos or townhomes , always buy the largest square footage you can afford . After you purchase , you can ’ t change your lot to make it bigger ! With condos and townhomes , you can never have too much space , but you can definitely have too little , and this is something that cannot be changed after you have purchased .
MAINTENANCE / CONSTRUCTION Of course , after you purchase you can maintain the home moving forward but have no control over how it was maintained or constructed prior . It may be difficult for you to determine these things , but an experienced and skilled professional will have an eye for this . It ’ s much better to purchase a home with the key structural components that protect you and your family from the elements like the roof , windows , doors and mechanical systems updated , maintained or replaced than a home with a flashy new kitchen and bathroom with a leaky roof and a moldy attic or basement . - Paul Mann , www . mannestates . com
Whether staying in place or planning to take advantage of an improving real estate market to sell your home , spring and summer are upgrade seasons . An outdoor bathroom can be a huge plus if you have a pool , spa or detached workout space . It offers the convenience of not needing to enter the main residence to use the bathroom , tracking less dirt , sand , and water into the home . Plumbing challenges , such as breaking through concrete or opening walls , may discourage some people , but savvy homeowners know a tried-and-true option solves such problems .
Ideal for outdoor baths , Sanibest Pro is designed to be easily installed on top of any finished surface , eliminating the need for below-floor installation . The unit can discharge black-water drainage from a toilet as well as gray water from two other fixtures , such as a sink or a shower .
While most of Saniflo ’ s pump range consists of macerators , the Sanibest Pro incorporates a powerful , one-horsepower grinder system , making it ideal for heavy-duty , unpredictable usage situations . Featuring a water-saving 1.28 gallons per flush , the Sanibest is engineered to quickly dispose of larger , sanitary objects that might clog a conventional toilet . The toilet is available with either a roundfront or a more stylish , elongated bowl . An easy access panel atop the unit allows for quicker , easier servicing of the electrical components inside , should that be necessary . - Saniflo Canada , www . saniflo . ca
