Real estate project: are you ready to live as a couple?

Sharing a home is seen as a key stage in a relationship and is often the stuff of couples' dreams. However, living together under the same roof is not necessarily easy every day. It is therefore important to ask yourself the right questions before settling down with your partner.

Are you ready to share your living space with him/her?

Meal times, cleaning days, tidying up your living room ... You have probably set up rituals in your organisation. The arrival of your other half can therefore come shake up your habits.

Don't worry, this is not necessarily incompatible with a life together! So that you and your partner can share the house in peace, everyone will have to find their place and make some concessions.

Do you have the same daily rhythm of life?

Do you work nights while your partner has more traditional hours? Do you get up at the crack of dawn while your lover prefers to sleep in at the weekend?

Before you settle down together, you absolutely must take stock of your respective life rhythms. This will allow you to refine your criteria for the search of your accommodation, such as the layout of the bedroom in relation to the other living rooms for example.

Do you have a common life plan?

Are you moving in together just to divide the daily expenses? Beware, by living under the same roof, you will share more than just expenses!

It is therefore necessary to look beyond a simple financial advantage and be sincere in your real estate project. To guide your rental or purchase of a property, take stock of your joint life plans (starting a family or travelling regularly) while taking into account your respective desires.
