You’ve been dreaming for a long time of how you wake up under bird singing, go on your house’s verandah and inhale aroma of blossoming grasses? It seems your dream is so close, that it is already possible to touch it. But … so that a dream would became reality, it is necessary to pass a difficult thorny road under the name «country house purchase».
Visualise a dream
Definition of what it is required from the future dwelling should become the very first stage on a way to own country house. Whether this will be your constant residence or only a house for seasonal residing. Proceeding from answers to this points in question, it is necessary to solve, on what distance from a city your house will situate. If you wish to live in a country house constantly, you need to choose such house, which will be not so far from a city, so that it would be convenient to get to work every week-day. If you wish to get a country house for rest on days off and seasonal residing, it is possible to think of a house on a distance, little more remote from a city. Ecology is better and nature is richer there.
Besides it is necessary to think also of a size of the ground area for a house. What it should be, how many hundred parts? It is necessary to understand that each additional hundred part is not simply additional means you will need to enclose at the moment of house acquisition, but also additional care and leaving of the earth, which is required in the future. Therefore it is necessary to co-ordinate desires with possibilities strictly.
Pass to searches
On a way to your dream house you can pass the given stage both independently, and by means of realtor firms specialising on sale of country real estate. With independent search you will be helped by Internet, printing editions, information extracted from friends and direct investigation of district. Quite probably that process of search of the house will slightly change your representations about your dream house. And by price factor plays not the last role in the given change.
The most expensive houses will be in the organised country co-operative societies or organised settlements. There you will find more developed infrastructure and household communications. It is recommended to reflect on acquisition of not completed country house for smaller money as about one of possible variants, but in a good place, than to buy an inexpensive house in deaf district.
During country house search it is necessary to consider as well other important aspects, such as: presence of access roads and convenient transport lines, presence of protection of settlement and an all-the-year-round waterpipe.
Pass to survey
After you have chosen a house under price factor, size of adjoining earth, metric area of the house and remoteness from a city, it is possible to go, actually, on its survey. A seller is interested to sell a house quickly and favourably, therefore you should be ready to that some information on a house condition will be concealed. It is one of the reasons on which it is recommended to plan a country house purchase, so that this period has got for spring. At this particular time ground waters are most active, and situation with flooding of basement will be looked accurately through. You will also see all lacks of waterproofing.
If you like what you see and hear about the house, it is possible to start a following stage – check of documents on which given earth and structure belongs to a seller. Here are moments you should pay special attention to:
• the state registration certificate of the land property right
• the state registration certificate of the property right to a structure,
• the building licence and certificate about house introduction in operation,
• conformity of the size of a ground to declared size in documents,
• absence of disputes with neighbours,
• presence of special documents on all constructions standing separately (bath, shed, garage etc.).
Preparation of money resources and entering of advance payment
When all questions concerning price are settled, when both seller and buyer mutually agree to each other’s conditions, a buyer, that is you, should prepare a necessary sum of money for advance payment, and then for registration of the purchase. At entering of advance payment you should necessarily take the receipt from a seller, in which a sum of advance payment, overall cost sum, and also data on sold object will be specified. Such receipt does not give an absolute guarantee that you will not lose your means in case a transaction will break, but all the same will protect you somehow.
If there is a realtor between you and seller, then at entering of advance payment it will be possible to make a preliminary contract. Such contract though satisfies to interests of a seller in a greater degree, but all the same is your protection in case a transaction will not take place.
Entering of advance payment – only a little bit of that is required from you in the financial plan. Country house purchase – is not cheap pleasure, therefore it is rather difficult to collect whole sum. It is possible to save a little, if to choose a country house with not finished structure, and already after purchase lead it up to an operational condition independently. It is possible to get in general only a site.
If you do not have sum for single payment, but there are stable high earnings, you can take advantage of a mortgage.
Now actually that happy moment when you become a happy owner of a country house has come. Now you will have only pleasant efforts concerning house interior.
We wish you to pass a difficult way to a house with the least means! And happy house warming!
