Buying a property—whether it’s your first home, a dream apartment, or a plot for future investment—is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. But before you start browsing listings or visiting sites, there’s one critical step that many buyers overlook: defining your needs clearly.

At Dream Real Estate Group Pvt. Ltd., we’ve helped hundreds of buyers in the Kathmandu Valley make the right real estate decisions. And we’ve learned that the buyers who take the time to understand their needs upfront save time, avoid confusion, and end up with properties they truly love.

So what exactly does it mean to “define your needs”? Let’s break it down:

1. 🎯 Purpose: Why Are You Buying?

Are you buying to live, to invest, or to rent out? Your purpose affects everything from location to property type to budget. A homebuyer might want peaceful surroundings and good schools nearby, while an investor might care more about rental yield or resale value.

2. 🏘 Property Type: What Are You Looking For?

Decide early on what kind of property suits your goals:

• 🏠 House – For families or buyers who value space and privacy.
• 🏢 Apartment/Flat – Ideal for convenience, security, and low maintenance.
• 🏞 Land/Plot – Best for those planning to build or invest for the long term.
• 🏪 Commercial Property – For business purposes or income generation.

3. 📍 Location Preferences: Where Do You Want to Be?

Location is not just about the address—it’s about accessibility, lifestyle, and future growth. Some questions to consider:

• Do you need to be close to your workplace or school?
• Are public transport, shops, and hospitals nearby?
• Is the area developing, or is it already saturated?
• Do you prefer a peaceful residential area or a busy commercial zone?

We at Dream Real Estate Group can help you assess the best areas within Kathmandu Valley based on your needs and budget.

4. 💰 Budget: How Much Can You Afford?

Set a realistic budget including:

• Down payment
• Bank loan eligibility
• Registration costs, taxes, and valuation fees
• Renovation or furniture expenses (if needed)

Getting pre-approved for a home loan is highly recommended. We can assist you in connecting with trusted bank partners and valuators (including our MD Er. Durga Dahal, who is a licensed valuator for 15+ commercial banks).

5. 🧾 Features: What Must-Haves Do You Want?

Make a list of your non-negotiables and good-to-haves. For example:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Parking space
• Balcony, garden, or rooftop
• Earthquake-resistant structure
• Road access width
• Floor level (for apartments)

This list helps you filter out unsuitable options quickly and stay focused.
