1. The history and maintenance of the property: Buying a home in a project which has new construction or a newly built home is more preferred, but if you are buying a home in resale where someone else lived earlier, it is recommended to know about the existing energies and vibrations. You can do this by cleaning, painting and a little renovation in the home.
