Buying your first home is a big step. These are the questions to settle before you start viewing.

1. What can you afford?

Work out your budget, including the deposit, legal fees and other costs of buying, not just the price of the home.

2. Where do you want to live?

Think about commute, schools, security and how the area suits your lifestyle in the years ahead.

3. Apartment or house?

Apartments are often easier to maintain and come with shared security, while houses give more space and privacy.

4. Get the right advice

Always have the title and legal documents checked before you commit to a purchase.
