W: Today I’d like to welcome Edward Fox, a seasoned real-estate agent, who is going to talk to us about buying a house. Hello, Edward.
M: Hello.
W: Now, Edward, for most people buying a house is a major life event. What precautions do they have to take before a real purchase?
M: As to me, the most important thing to consider before buying any property is the location.
W: Location?
M: Right. Because it is where you plan to spend a large part of your life, or, indeed, the rest of your life in some circumstances. If you are a very sociable person who enjoys nightclubs and discos, you may consider something close to a city. Anyway, a city is convenient for all types of nightlife.
W: Then, for those who seek a quiet life, do you recommend a house in the countryside?
M: Well, countryside is a tranquil place. However, do remember that proximity to the place of work also counts. Indeed, we spend most of our life at work, and you don’t want to spend two or more hours every day travelling to work, do you? Therefore, transport is of the utmost importance. City suburbs, however, are often conveniently located for commuting to work, or for shopping, without being in the heart of a busy city.
W: But houses in the suburbs are far more expensive than those in cities.
M: They seem to be, but actually houses located in cities can often exceed the price of suburban houses. So check out the prices. You may be surprised.
W: Really? So we should consider our place of work and personality in choosing the location. Is that so?
M: I’m afraid you have to take family into consideration as well. You may prefer a house that is away from a busy street or main road. But remember that children have to attend school. If you have children, or plan to have children, location is a very important factor. Ana of course, remember that a family influences the size of the property.
