Every decision you make will have its pros and cons,living in an apartment is no different. You have many perks like living in a colony or having committees to deal with everything, but your other option is staying in your own house, with bigger rooms all by yourself.
Here are a few tips to help you choose a flat in Goa.
Make sure you know what you’re looking for and why. Keep in mind your budget, and make sure you are in a good or relatively better neighborhood. Something with a better view than slums, or another apartment wall, or a graveyard. You should settle for something with all the amenities you require, for the price you’re willing to pay. You have to be reasonable about the price and do your research on price ranges of places you are looking at.
List out all the flats you find interesting. Check out the pros and cons of each of them, that should help you finalize on the one you want. Make sure you considered the number of people, proportionate to the bathrooms, do you really need a pool in the back. Keep in mind, cutting down on such things will get your overall price down. You should feel safe around the neighborhood.
Check with the homeowner on the age of the structure and structural plans if you need to make changes to the home, remodel or build an extension.
Create a questionnaire for every home owner whose flat you are interested in. Make changes to this according to the people you are interviewing. Make sure you write down why you pick one over the other. Keep in mind why you disapproved of a particular apartment, this might be insignificant in comparison to others later.
Look at your neighborhood properly. Pay attention to garbage dumps and how your neighbors treat their surroundings. The last thing you want, would be to take over and have your neighbor throw garbage in your balcony.
Pay attention to everything when you enter the flat. It shouldn’t smell funny nor should it have anything that doesn’t feel right. Locks should work and nothing should be falling apart.
Go for a walk in your to be neighborhood after dark to make sure you feel safe. You should realize, you might be staying therefor a long time. Pay attention to how well lit everything is and if there are any convenience stores around.
There are plenty of apartments you can choose from in Goa, as currently the supply outmatches the demand in most suburbs around Goa's main cities of Panjim, Margao, Mapusa, Vasco and Ponda. You also have to keep in mind that once you zero-in on a apartment that you are looking to buy ensure that you have a clear title to the property by getting a title verification done by a experienced lawyer.
