How to compare two apartments for sale

The total asking price alone is a poor comparison. Two apartments in one governorate may differ in usable area, building age, finish and repair needs. Start with homes in the same neighborhood and with similar specifications.

How to choose a neighborhood for a home

Neighborhood choice affects daily life more than some apartment features. Consider routes to work and school, access and the services you actually use, rather than relying on the area’s name.

Apartment viewing checklist before buying

A viewing can reveal what photos cannot: damp, ventilation, leaks, water pressure and street noise. Prepare questions ahead of time so the visit becomes more than a quick impression.
