You have lived in rented accommodations long enough. You want to buy a house and make it a home for you and your young family. You consult your friends, you consult property agents. You consult websites and go through property advertisements. And all along you feel uneasy that you are missing out on something.

It gradually dawns on you that you are missing out the element that matters the most – the feeling of belonging that you would want in the new environments. All your talk with the agents, all discussions on budgeting, all the viewings are very superficial.

Once you have chosen the area in which you would like to live (convenient for commuting to work) and have started considering some houses in that area, you would like to get a feel of the neighborhood, see the civic amenities existing in that area. You would like to be sure your family will not only be secure but feel secure too. You would like to know what sort of neighbors your wife will have – friendly, helpful, snobbish, snooty, garrulous, intruding or what…

Why don’t you take a stroll down the neighborhood, walk over to the local market place and see what sort of crowds you see. Drop in on some neighbors just to say “Hello!” and you sure will learn a lot of the local gossip and atmosphere too. You will also get an idea of the local crime scene if you steer the conversation in the right direction discreetly.

By now you would have been able to size up that environment of the locality that you would never have been able to do by talking to any umber of agents. You could repeat the routine until you feel comfortable with the locality. After that the rest of the issues related to the property would be easy to deal with.

A word of caution: do not disclose your findings to the property agent; he will not lose the chance to use your satisfaction about the locality to your disadvantage in price negotiations.
