    House hunting is so fun but so stressful at the same time, I love seeing housing in other countries and places, soooo interesting! House number two is so nice, love how spacious it is! House number 5 is so nice, the kitchen is stunning too, that's so crazy how you were being scammed, that's great how you trusted your gut feeling and decided to pull out of the contract!

    WOOO this is so exciting!!! Loving your list of things you needed for your home! I totally agree it’s so good to have lots of storage & natural lighting is key! Really loveee seeing all the houses!😍 I agree the rooms are pretty small in the first house but deffo a lovely kitchen! Omg I love how you had a walk in wardrobe & bathroom on the 2nd one! That is so cool! It’s deffo key when finding a home you need to just completely fall in love with it & love the whole vibe! Not keen when you visit a house & it’s not clean?:/ hahaha absolutely loved this video girl! I can’t wait to see more of these fabulous videos lovely!💖💖💖

    YAYAY GIRL IVE BEEN WAITING!! Congrats again first of all, such an important milestone and you should be proud!! ✨I just love this video so much, I literally watched the whole thing!! You’re so thorough and I’m taking notes for when I’m moving out 👀 AND NOT HOUSE #5 SCAMMING U!! Yes please do a storytime! House #6 was my fave just cuz it’s soo spacious and I love the white theme, so bright! BUT THE CONS!! It’s so weird that it didn’t come with a dishwasher and won’t be cleaned?? Like ok??? Even tho I looove the brightness, it’s a pass. I’m so excited to see the empty house tour!!

    • @MariamRizvi
      @MariamRizvi  Před 3 lety

      Aww girl thank you!! I love that you're taking notes & this was vid was educational hehe! Omfg yes, trust me to almost get scammed not once but twice on the same house 😅 but for sure will do a storytime in the future! Yesssss I loved house #6, I actually bidded at the auction for it but didn't get it cos it sold for way higher but super happy with the house I ended up getting 💕

  • @ItsVeronika
    @ItsVeronika Před 3 lety +1

    I was so excited for this video and the entire series!! it is so interesting to see house hunting from a different country. I think my favourite one was house number 5 I was so cute although I loved the bright concept of the 6th one a little bit more. A dishwasher is a MUST HAVE haha! It makes your life sooo much easier I cannot believe someone built a house without a dishwasher hahaha.
    I said it once and I will say it again but I am so proud of you girl! 😍 I cannot wait for more house content!🏡

    • @MariamRizvi

    All these houses actually looked really nice. And seem pretty reasonably priced! I'm excited to see what you picked and bought 😁 When you talked about railing, I would be so scared of living somewhere without it. I'm to clumsy for it too! I'm so glad you didn't lose money and were able to back out of the scam 😶😶 We definitely need a story time!

    That's a good video on house hunting Mariam, I can't believe one of the real estate agents tried to scam you and your mum on the house and now I'm scared that it will happen to me when I move out of home. I can't wait to see which house it is you have chosen.

    Which website or estate agent do you go to? I've been going online and it seems way overpriced especially for the 1 bedroom apartments. Do you recommend townhouses as opposed to freestanding homes?

    • @MariamRizvi
      @MariamRizvi  Před 2 lety +1

      Realestate.com.au was the only website I used! I personally actually recommend smaller estate agents- First National is really good, definitely do not recommend Love & Co as they were reallyyyyy bad! Both townhouses and free standing homes are good - I recommend free standing homes tho but if you're going for a townhouse I would recommend finding one without body corp/strata cos you'll be stuck paying body corp/strata fees every year + you can't do any external changes without their approval. Also have a look around other suburbs cos I know some suburbs are more expensive than others 😊
