Things to consider before purchasing a brand new house and lot in the Philippines
1. Location
For both returning and visiting Overseas Filipino Workers, the accessibility of the area and its distance from the airport must be considered.

Aside from the distance from the airport, the accessibility in public transportation and other establishments such as market, church, school, and hospital must also be considered. A property located in establishments will be helpful for a modern Filipino family in terms of having access to their basic needs.

Here are the things you must consider in terms of safety and security:

Having a contact for the security and safety team of your chosen subdivision or community is a must. Knowing the right person to contact in case of emergency in the area gives the residents peace of mind and feeling of being safe and secured.
5. Amenities
