Buying real estate in the sought-after and cosmopolitan CDMX is the desire of many, whether to invest, stop paying rent, have a home of their own or upgrade their current life. But are there steps to buy an apartment in Mexico City?
The reality is yes, and to get to know them it is important that you answer, in principle, the following question:
What type of operation are you looking to acquire?
Before buying it is necessary to know what you need in the short, medium and long term. If it is an investment, you should think about how much return you require. But, if it is home, you must answer: how, where and with whom you want to live. This is to think about the ideal characteristics for the property you will buy.
6 questions to ask before buying an apartment in Mexico City.
1. How are your finances?
Remember that when buying an apartment there are several expenses that you must cover in addition to the monthly payments of your mortgage loan, such as: appraisal, down payment, commissions, costs for opening the loan, deed, moving, furniture and decoration .
Analyzing these expenses, what budget should you consider when buying an apartment?
Remember that the apartment must meet your needs.
2. In which area do you want to purchase a property?
There are several points to consider when choosing the location of your next apartment: supermarkets, schools, shopping malls, hospitals, proximity to your work, as well as risk areas, security and surrounding public recreation centers.
Note: If the cologne you are looking for does not fit your budget, look for a cologne that is more similar to your first choice but better suited to your budget.
3. What style of apartment do you like best?
Now, how do you know which is the ideal development for you? This question is very common given the wide range of developments in Mexico City. The ideal is not only to define the characteristics of the apartment such as: square meters, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking spaces, among others. The ideal is to identify which development best reflects your essence of life: Ecofriendly, Petfriendly, Kidsfriendly, DInky style, etc.
Finding the department and development that suits your needs and budget is best done with the support of professionals. Look for equipment with state-of-the-art technology that filters your possibilities and requirements.
5. Meet the developer and its departments.
It is important to invest in a serious and prestigious developer. Find out if it has the backing of a recognized real estate company. Investigate the status of the apartment (if already finished, % of construction, % of sales); total price, payment terms, delivery times, maintenance prices,
Remember that every purchase involves not only rights but also obligations and expenses.
6.- Obtain financing.
How much could you pay monthly in the short, medium and long term? With this question in mind, define the financing you require. Look for the different possibilities, from family loans, to fixed, variable or mixed mortgage loans.
