Why buying an apartment needs more than a feeling

Peter Greatorex, managing director of The Apartment Company talks about buying with your heart and your head

Have you ever made those impulse buys and then, maybe a few days or weeks later, regretted it?

We want to make sure that the apartment you purchase is based on a decision made with your heart and your head.

It’s easy to get swept away by the glorious Georgian façade; as you step inside the spacious rooms with period touches, you begin to smile. There is no doubt that this property is melting your heart, but is it the right home for you?

We all want that feeling, that instant spark that tells us we’ve found ‘the one’. Should you get ‘the feeling’ when you walk into an apartment, never ignore it. It is magical and means you can really see yourself living there. Yet the one may not come with the wish list package that you initially imagined.

Trust our experience to show you some properties that may not be right on paper. We don’t have any mystery Jedi powers, just the knowledge obtained from years of working in the Bath apartment market.

Make sure you have a list of headbased decisions on a piece of paper before you enter any property, to stop your heart from running away with you. You should think about finances, and that’s not just the mortgage but all the costs associated with that particular apartment and the lease.

When you let your head have its say, you will know that the apartment is one that will work for you in many ways.

If you would like to see a collection of apartments we feel would be perfect for you, just give us a call.
