Fret not as we’ve got you covered. Today we’re going to discuss some important factors that you must pay heed to when looking to buy a house. Read on to know further about them.
Location, location, location, you must have heard it already for hundreds of times. Nonetheless, location plays a key role in determining the value of your place. Experts believe that even if your house isn’t all perfect but you love your neighbourhood and have friendly neighbours, that place is liveable. Therefore, when you start hunting for a house pay special attention to the location. Check its distance from the nearest markets, hospitals, bus stops, schools etc. Similarly, check out the locality of the place, the ambiance of the neighbourhood, ease of access.
If you‘re looking to buy a house in a city like Mumbai, pay special attention to the availability of facilities. Inquire about the availability of gas, water and electricity. Ask your potential neighbours about the availability of basic utilities and also inquire if there are any power or water cuts. Similarly, ask about any other facilities that the residents of that area are privileged to.
Thoroughly check the accommodation you will be getting in the house you’re considering to buy. How many bedrooms and bathrooms are there? Are they enough for your family or not? These are some of the common things that you must consider while checking out a house to buy. Go for a place that has an extra bedroom so that you can use it later when you need more space. Likewise, if you plan to add extra rooms later, consult an architect beforehand to know you can either get it done or not.
The kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of every home. This is the place where the lady of the house will spend most of her time, so don’t settle for a place that doesn’t have a nice kitchen. Pay special attention to the cabinets, countertops and appeal of the kitchen and if you find it suitable then go for that place otherwise look for another one. One thing that you must consider is that remodelling a kitchen is a costly task and will need a lot of cash. So, scrutinize the kitchen accordingly.
Another thing that you should pay close attention to is the storage available in the house you’re planning to do. Check out the number of closets available and the condition they’re in. Having a good amount of storage is always a plus point and nowadays almost all new residential projects in South Mumbai have a wide range of closets available in them.
We all want a home that gets an ample amount of sunlight and has a bright and sunny appeal to it. Therefore, when you’re looking for a house observe the amount of natural light and sunshine it gets. Similarly, check out the electrical lighting already present in the house whether it's in working condition or not.
