Surprises Buying a House

August 19, 2019 by Carter Leave a Comment

Numbers show that the Australian house price to income ratio has shown an increase of 10% in the last 10 years. This means that buying a house is probably one of the most difficult things to do in Australia today. But what if you do manage to earn and save up enough to actually buy a house in Australia. Not that you bought a house with your eyes closed but did you due diligence. You definitely would not want to end up with the following surprises after buying your house:

Traffic Noises

Traffic noises can be a huge pain and ruin your sleep and peace of mind. Just the constant horn and car noises and all those fights can become minor stressors for you. As you continue to live in the house, you will find that although you do become accustomed to those noises, all that noise pollution still has a huge bearing on your mental health.

You cannot even blame yourself for not considering this factor before if the only time you ever took out to visit the location was on weekends when the traffic is low. So, the noise may not even have seemed a factor back then. Therefore, always try to visit the location in weekdays too.

Water Tower Noises

Another sort of noise pollution comes from water towers. These water towers are located high up and refill during the nights in non-peak hours. Since it happens at night, the recharges you would think would always be quiet enough to go unnoticeable. However, that is not a given. Water towers will usually be quiet, but not always. So, on times when a water-tower does not fill up quietly it can be an absolute horror living near it because of the loud noise.

Air Pollution from Industrial Waste

It can be extremely difficult to notice the air pollution around an area because of the very little difference in odor. However, many homeowners find that their house is located in an area with much more air pollution than other areas because of the close vicinity to industrial areas. This can be extremely unpleasant and injurious to your health.

Although the best life insurance australia will help you deal with the health concerns related to such issues, but it is always advised that such locations be vacated immediately.

Cottage Businesses

A nuisance around the entire neighborhood can be those houses that operate as businesses. It is impossible to detect these businesses because apparently the activity is very low. However, it is ongoing. Which means that there are constant visits or supplies coming in to the house that can not just add to the noise in the neighborhood but also add to the traffic.

Moreover, the businesses could be engaged in activities that may put the surrounding houses at a risk and hence be unsuitable for the area and for you. Perhaps the activities may even be contributing to waste around the area.
