Before you choose a home

You find two homes: one at €520 a month, the other at €570. The first seems the obvious choice — until you add heating, building charges and travel.

Ask for previous bills and building charges. Find out what needs immediate maintenance. Past consumption is a guide; your usage may differ.

Before saying “I’ll take it”, compare the total cost of your everyday life.

Remember this

Choose a home around the life you will live in it.
