Avoid stretching your budget

It’s tempting to go for a more expensive property, especially if you can secure a larger mortgage. However, it’s wise to avoid stretching your budget to the maximum, as it leaves little room for financial flexibility and can lead to financial stress.

Consult with our financial advisor or a mortgage broker who can provide personalized guidance based on your financial situation and local real estate market conditions.
