Choosing the Right Location for your home

Whether it is for living, or for investment purposes, buyers often face difficulty in deciding the location, builder or size of the property. Before you start the process of buying, keep in mind the following two points.

Affordability: Understand your affordability on the basis of your income and household expenditures. Cater for family commitments, future cash needs, and growth in career prospects. This will help you narrow down your choices. Avoid overstretching your finances beyond this budget.

Market Survey: Do a survey of the current market rates in various locations. This could help you negotiate deals better.

Choosing the Right Location

Whether you want an aesthetic home away from the city or a home with less space in the heart of the city, certain key aspects need to be factored in when choosing a location.

For properties away from the city core, check for transport connectivity. Metros, bus services or a four lane toll road could get you to your work place and back in reasonable time.

If you intend to let out your property on rent, software parks, and offices in the vicinity could be a bonus.

Try choosing a location which has proximity to hospitals and good schools.
Be aware of the local city developments. Check for new shopping complexes, or metro rail projects, being planned in the vicinity.

Work out the long term potential of the location. How much could your property appreciate? Are there companies, industries coming up nearby?
