Apartments for sale in Jeddah

What to do Before Buying an Apartment in Jeddah

Study the market first:

The real estate market is known to have its ups and downs, as it can be affected by new laws and regulations. That being said, follow the latest local real estate trends by reading the news and following social media in order to know whether it is best to buy now or wait.

Decide on the district:

If you are interested in more central areas, then consider searching among properties in Hamra, Al Rawdah or apartments in Al Madina Road. Moving towards the North may require an increase in the budget.

Get a feel for the building:

It would be good to have an idea about the neighbours currently living there. Also, many residences currently offer round the clock security, and this is very important for families. In addition to the driver’s room and/or storage room which is currently a common plus, new developers are starting to provide residents with added services such as gyms, nurseries, and swimming pools.

Go through a licensed real estate broker or developer:

Having a professional real estate company involved will ease the entire process and transaction. The broker or company can give you an idea of the price per square meter in a specific district and can advise on many issues related to buying real estate. This is why all properties on eSimsar.com are only listed by licensed real estate companies. Avoid going through an unlicensed third party, a big investment such as buying a home needs to be done through a trusted real estate company.

Get a professional second opinion:

Often times, we hear stories about how a house looked luxurious on the outside, but problems started to arise a week into living in it. If you are purchasing a new development, have a professional person check the piping, electrical, or any faults that can be hidden. If you are looking for property you wish to flip, also get a second opinion on overall costs before you make an investment, because renovation costs can add up so quickly.

If you have not found the ideal property investment yet, you can browse through the available flats for rent in Jeddah, and consider renting until you find the perfect property to buy.
