A young couple about to have kids are buying a house and asked me re Melbourne suburbs eg cheltenham bentleigh Glenhuntly gardenvale .
What are other things they should know about pls re areas or choosing a house or re buying process
I've mentioned that it's wonderful to be in walking distance of the kids school so to think about that
Convenient to park and supermarket
How close does she want to live near a sibling she's close to that kids can play go to park swimming shop together .
How do we find out about flooding history of that street as in floods in was it February this year some streets were known to be in flood catchments . How do we find this out and what else should be researched
I've mentioned building and Pest reports
And ways to put in offers with conditions and time limits
Ways to compare value in that area
What other things would help them to choose a home they will b happy with long term but is in their price range
Any other suburbs they could look at ? They don't want to be too far from relatives who live around Elwood .
