Buying a home is often an expensive prospect, with prices of properties always increasing year after year. This is especially true in localities that are more developed in terms of infrastructure, more important in terms of social/ cultural heritage, or are simply considered to be more ‘posh’. Owning your own house is then something that is very aspirational in nature and in some cases seen as very difficult to attain.
However, that doesn’t mean that homes cannot be cost-friendly. One just has to look hard and smartly enough to find what they are looking for. While an affordable home may not offer you the most exquisite things that a home has to offer, it can give you an experience that is pleasant and comfortable as you begin your tryst with the property.
The following are some important points to consider when looking out for a home that is economical for you.
Accessibility
Making the most of your home starts with making the most of your location. After all, location is the key to enabling you with a life of conveniences. This comes in the form of accessibility through various forms of transportation, key infrastructure in the surrounding areas, and more. Having hospitals, supermarkets, shopping malls, and more in the radius of your home is something you should not take for granted, especially if you are someone who loves spending time outside home. Adding to this, ensuring that your home is strategically located within the city will save you from future regret in the form of commuting to and from work, and more.
Amenities
Having access to amenities within the gates of the community/ property makes for a more fulfilling life. Whether that be in the form of a gym, badminton court, swimming pool, a clubhouse, along with indoor activities and more – they all culminate to keep you engaged throughout the time you spend in that property. As human beings, we need to be kept engaged to alleviate feelings of boredom and monotony (which has become even more of an issue due to COVID-19, lockdowns and working from home). Often, ‘more the merrier’ is the case when it comes to amenities. But even having just a few amenities of great quality can do wonders for your life.
Futureproofing
One must always be prepared for the future, for we never know what could be in store for us. This can be in the form of ensuring the location will have nice infrastructure developments in the future (for eg: highways, flyovers, metro stations), or provisions inside to work from home. Future proofing has become more important than ever, and keeping future changes in mind can make the present a lot more pleasant!
