Once you find a property you like, conduct a thorough inspection. Hire a professional to check the property for any structural issues, pests, or other problems that could lead to costly repairs later.

Verify the property’s legal documents. Ensure that the title deed is clear, there are no pending loans or disputes, and the seller has the right to sell the property.

Negotiate the price. Don’t hesitate to negotiate with the seller to get the best possible deal, especially if there are repairs needed or if the market is slow.

Once everything is agreed upon, finalize the sale by signing the sale agreement and paying the necessary fees. Make sure to register the property in your name at the local sub-registrar’s office.
