The Buyer's Guide: 7 Essential Tips for Buying an Apartment

Do you want to buy an apartment for you and your family? Don’t you know where to start your searches? What do you need to know to make the right choice?

Here you’ll find 7 useful tips that will help you make the best deal: save time, money and nerves when buying an apartment.

The location of the apartment

Location, location, location. It’s perhaps the most important thing to consider when you decide to buy a property - choose more accessible areas with developed infrastructures. Decide from the beginning where you want to live, taking into account your needs and priorities. If we are to refer to apartments in Chisinau, then you have to choose the sector that you like the most or where it is more convenient for you to live: whether it is close to work, certain strategic points that you regularly visit, or want to live in a park area, near a lake.

So which sector do you like the most? Buiucani, Center, Riscani, Botanica, Ciocana, Telecentru?

Surface of the apartment and its planning

It is important to calculate from the start what would be the real needs for you and your family. Do you need a 1-room, 2 or 3 - room apartment? Do you need a spacious living or not? The calculations must be made rationally, considering the changes that may occur in your life - the appearance of a child or your parents may move to you. Check the possibility of replanning the building as you wish. So buy an apartment where you’ll feel good more than 25 years.

The floor

Frequently, most people want to live in the middle floors. These apartments are the most requested and most expensive. While a first-floor or top-floor apartment is up to 20% cheaper, but it also has many other benefits. However, be careful when purchasing the top floor apartment, check the condition of the roof.

Repair or white variant

Very simple! You can opt for a white-room apartment and do your repair as you want, but be patient until you finish the repair. Either, if you do not have time - but have more money, you can immediately move to a repaired and furnished apartment. The choice belongs to you!

The maximum price

The price matters. Your maximum budget dictates all the rules. If you don’t have too much money you probably will not be able to afford a spacious apartment in the Center, but maybe you could opt for an apartment with the same surface in another sector. What if you don’t have enough money? See the next point.

Mortgage Credit or Cash?

If you have all the available amount you can pay the full cash price. Simple. If you don’t have all the money you can use a mortgage, paying 30% of the total, or you can use the Government Program Prima Casa, to pay initially only 10% of the total budget.
