Property transactions require a considerable investment and appropriate planning. The first step is to work out a realistic budget and price range for your purchase. It helps tremendously to get finance pre-approved, so talk to the bank at an early stage to avoid disappointment. It will help you and your agent focus on what you want and what you can afford. Furthermore, you will be ready to act swiftly when your dream house comes on the market. Some additional funds may be needed to make the property look its best after settlement. Renovation is an exciting process, but can be expensive so enlist professional advice and get a few quotes to find the best deal and quality around.

Buying a home is often an emotional purchase. When acquiring Vanuatu real estate as an investment, a different set of rules apply.
