Do people know what they want? I think most times, they don't.
In the case of buying a home - some of us work with budgets, some with a little extra would work on the size, some on location. Whatever our reasons for wanting to view a unit, it should at least have a 'shortlisted' start.
For example, if you have an aged parent(s), a lift landing has to be the criteria - after all, having been in social services, let's have some compassion for the ambulance drivers who have to manage the wheelchair with staircases.
So, if that was the case, why bother to even consider a non-lift landing unit?
I'm bringing up this point because looking for the almost ideal apartment would be less tedious, if you know what it is you're looking for in the first place.
Instead of looking at 50 apartments, you should basically shorten it down to 5 and make your selection from there. After all, time is not free and let's not inconvenience other people unnecessarily. By that I meant home owners who allow you to walk through their flat; you, a total stranger!
Buying a new home can be nerve-wrecking, but if we are sensible and work with what's possible, it can be almost like buying shoes. It either fits or not.
Next time anyone decides to go flat hunting, spare a thought for the sellers, who make time for you to visit and view their flat.
