Verify the legitimacy of the developer
See to it that the developer is credible and already carved out a niche in the condominium business, do this and you will not get bamboozled. Spend ample time to check if the developer is legitimate and has a good track record.
Ask your friends about the developer if they have knowledge about him. You may check the developer’s website or call the regulatory board in your country to check their current standing. If you are in the Philippines you may check the site of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory which is the hlurb.gov.ph. Doing this will help you get information on home buying rights, guides to purchasing a condo unit and information about the developers along with their address.
Add all future expenses to your cost listing
If you are searching to purchase an existing unit, add to the costs all of the expenses like condo fees, transportation costs and laundry because there’s not enough space for washing your clothes. This gives you an idea that buying the condominium unit is advantageous to you and your family.
If you are not going to use the amenities such as the pool, gym or spa, it is not wise to pay for them.
