There are some things you should consider when narrowing down your list of requirements for your new home. Our 'What do you want in a home?' checklist (PDF) is designed to help you identify what’s most important to you when looking for a home. To help you decide what you want in a home, you need to decide: - What you must have

It covers things like: - Some basics (e.g. location, style of home)
- Indoor aspects (e.g. heating, storage, security)
- Bedrooms (e.g. size and number)
- Kitchen and dining
- Bathroom and laundry
- Living area
- Outdoor (e.g. garden and garage).
