How to Choose the Perfect Craighall Property

Thinking about purchasing Craighall property ? This sought-after area in Johannesburg's exclusive northern suburbs is within close reach of Sandton and Hyde Park. A selection of beautiful properties set on well-maintained, spacious grounds can be found on quiet, tree-lined roads. Accessibility combined with a sense of peace, despite being in proximity of the city, make property in Craighall in high demand. If you have been considering investing in this area, you may be wondering what to look for and what to know. In this guide, we share some of the most important factors to think about when choosing property in this suburb.

Use.

The first thing to consider is your requirements. You may be looking for a larger home closer to schools to grow your family. You may be looking for a suitable home for your retirement to use as an investment. You may be buying a new property and wanting to find a safe, peaceful area for your first home. You may be considering property to rent out on a short or long-term basis. Whatever the case, knowing what you are looking for will make it easier to find just the right property to suit your requirements.

Type.

Next, you will need to think about the type of property you are after. Craighall offers a good balance of large freestanding homes, townhouses and flats. Depending on your requirements, you will be able to find the perfect spacious home to raise your kids or something more compact that is ideal for couples or retirees. Each property type offers its own benefits, from larger sized gardens to lock-up-and-go convenience. Thinking about your ideal property type in advance will help you narrow down your choice more easily.

Space.

Once again, your requirements will guide the size of your ideal property. This, in turn, will make it easier to see how much space you need. Larger homes typically have larger gardens - many with swimming pools and lawns. These are ideal for families with kids and dogs who need space. Townhouses often have private gardens, patios or balconies, with some offering small swimming pools. Flats are usually set on communal grounds. If you do not require much space, a more compact type of property would be ideal. Working couples, retirees, singles, and holiday renters would be happy with smaller spaces as they can be much easier to maintain.
