The 6 Keys to choose your ideal home

How to choose your perfect home? What aspects should we take into account so as not to make mistakes? Whether you are looking for a house to rent or to buy, you have to take into account various factors that will lead you to feel at home in the place where you will spend most of the time throughout the days. If you are looking to find and capture your ideal house, follow these 6 steps and you will not fail.

1. Personal needs.
When we are in search of our perfect home we must define a list with are personal needs that the house must cover. We must take into account the situation both short and long term since the idea is that our ideal home today will still be tomorrow. For example, if you are a couple with a large family you will need a greater number of rooms, perhaps at present you do not have children but in the long term it will also be advisable to take the possibility of having children into account. The same happens on the contrary, if the house will only be for a couple or for a person without anticipation of more tenants, perhaps there is no need for a greater number of rooms or a house of big dimensions.

2. Residential or holiday home?
Obviously we must take this factor into account when looking for your home, since the characteristics you may need in your usual home are not the same as those required by a holiday home where you seek to relax on your vacation.

3. Location of the house
When choosing the area where we will look for the house, we must take into account some factors. For example, the distance and time that you take to go to work or the proximity to commercial areas or more important services. If you do not have a car, you will have to check the regularity of urban transport. And we must take into account the green areas, schools, parks and other added values that the area can offer.

4.Economic factor.
This is a very important point when choosing your next home. It is recommended to establish a budget where you have in mind the maximum amount you want to invest. In addition to the first investment, we must consider future projects that may require an investment. For example, maybe you are not convinced by the bathroom and you are going to renew it? Do not forget to include it in your budget.

5. Coast, country or city?
If you are reading this post it is because you are interested in the island of Ibiza, of which you can already guess its beauty of contrasts. Ibiza has more than 200 km of coastline where we have many villas with stunning views of the Mediterranean to show you, but beware, Ibiza also has beautiful fields of vines, almond and olive trees and of course mountains. Perhaps a cottage surrounded by nature fits more with your needs, do not worry we also have it. Although there are many lovers of nature, there are others who are “city animals” who like to have all kinds of services at hand, restaurants and activities 24 hours a day. Ibiza city can be the ideal place to find your perfect house. What is your favourite area? Can we help you decide ?

6. The style
Many consider that the style of the house that you are going to buy is not important but it is fundamental. You should not only think about what you like, you should also think about different possibilities and the way of life. An example: You love the minimalist style but you choose to buy a studio of just 60m2 it will be practically impossible to get a clear space. The same thing, if you would like to live in a house with a rural environment, it is practically impossible for you to achieve it in an apartment in the center of the city. That is why we must always be clear about the style of housing you want, rural, mediterranean, nordic, minimalist … This way you can avoid future expenses in restructuring certain parts of the house that do not match your chosen style.
