Just picture this…
You’re relaxing on a comfortable sofa in the spacious living room of your apartment, talking to your spouse. You’re both catching up after a long day and regaling each other with anecdotes and happenings. You enjoy a laugh every now and again as you share a joke or two. Your son and daughter pop in from their rooms to see what the mirth is all about. They don’t want to be left out. They have their stories to add too – and that adds another fun dimension to the evening, creating delightful times of togetherness.
12 points to consider when looking to buy an apartment that can include all your needs as a family
How suitable is the apartment for privacy and space?
If the children in your family are grown, they'll value their privacy, so individual rooms or spaces are essential. Making sure each member has personal space promotes a harmonious living environment. Parents and children in a family may all vary in their individual needs for privacy or connection at different times. Check if the apartment layout allows for both communal family time and individual preferences.
Is the location convenient for everyone's needs?
Proximity to schools, colleges or universities can reduce to-and-fro commute times for children. A central location can also benefit parents in terms of their workplace or other amenities. Aim to choose an area that offers a balance for the entire family's daily routines.
How safe is the neighbourhood?
Regardless of family members' ages, safety should always be a top concern. Research and check if adequate protection systems and processes are in place, and perhaps even speak to potential neighbours about their experiences. A secure environment means peace of mind for all family members.
Are essential services and shops close by?
Proximity to grocery stores, medical facilities and other essential services can be very beneficial. This ensures convenience and reduces the need for long trips to get basic necessities. It's also an advantage during emergencies or unexpected situations.
Is there convenient access to public transportation?
Your family members might only sometimes prefer to take out personal vehicles, making public transport essential. Easy access to bus stops or train stations can save time and money. Also, examine how long it takes to get to the airport. Additionally, it’s wise to consider the reliability and frequency of the available transport.
Are adequate parking facilities available?
With more families having more members owning two-wheelers or cars, multiple parking spaces become crucial. Check if the apartment comes with enough parking facilities. Also, check if visitor car parks and two-wheeler parking areas are provided for.
Does the apartment offer spacious shared areas?
Family bonding remains important, so consider the size of common spaces. Areas like living rooms or balconies should be conducive for gatherings or shared activities. The design and layout should also feel inviting and comfortable.
Is there sufficient storage space?
More adult members mean more belongings, so ample storage is a necessity. Look for closets and built-in storage solutions that can accommodate everyone's items. Additional space is always beneficial for seasonal items or future acquisitions.
What's the noise level and surrounding environment like?
A peaceful environment is crucial for studies, working from home or relaxation. Check if the apartment offers sound insulation and ask about the noise levels from neighbouring areas. Quieter surroundings are also advantageous for overall well-being.
Are there local attractions and social venues nearby?
Young adults often appreciate cafes, restaurants or entertainment spots. Being close to such venues ensures a balance between home life and social activities. Parents might also benefit from nearby cultural or recreational attractions.
How good is the connectivity and mobile infrastructure
In today's digital milieu, reliable internet connectivity is non-negotiable. Check with service providers about the available plans and speeds in the area. Ensure there are no issues like frequent outages or weak mobile signals.
What's the potential for appreciation in property value?
Buying an apartment is also an investment, so consider its potential to appreciate in value even as your family enjoys the benefit of living in it. Families with grown children, who may move away one day, will find the parents becoming empty nesters with too much room on their hands. On the other hand, families growing in numbers may want to invest for the future by upscaling in size and value. Either way, it is wise to research property trends in the area and study any future development plans that can affect property prices.
