SELECTING A LOCATION BEFORE BUYING A PROPERTY


Location is the most important aspect before the selection of a property. There should not be a slum area nearby, a place of worship attached to the property or a drainage line close by.The purpose of buying a property determines the Location.It may be for self-occupation as a house or for investment purpose.

In case of house/flat for own occupation, a residential locality not far away from the heart of the city is preferable.Always select approved layouts by appropriate authorities that enable an individual to get all the facilities within the layout.

While selecting a vendor/promoter, you need to look into his track record. Similarly you have to select a reliable real estate dealer to locate a suitable area for the property.If anyone offers property at a cheaper rate as against the prevailing market rate, then it is advisable, since it may come with certain hidden problems, which are difficult to trace.

The area should have well developed roads, good drainage and the civic staff should do the garbage clearance regularly.The Low-lying areas should be avoided as they get inundated during monsoons.

The proximity and accessibility to work place, schools, market place, hospitals, railway, bus station and recreational centers is important.The locality should have adequate banking facility. Frequency of public conveyance, other modes of transport, availability of public telephone booths etc., have to be looked into.A location that is not far away from the modern facilities and infrastructure and yet far enough to avoid the pollution of the city, is preferable.Prefer an area inhabited by decent, educated and cultured people of cosmopolitan outlook.Ensure that the area is not home to anti-social elements.

There should not be any factory or workshop especially the ones which work in night shifts, in the immediate neighborhood.This results in noise pollution and sleepless nights apart from affecting the quality of the power supply.The area should have regular supply of potable water, power supply and good ground water table for bore well.

Facilities like public park/garden for walks are worth considering.The location of a temple, mosque or church and religious institutions that arrange regular discourses in this age of stress and strain, is a welcome factor. Apart from the above, the size of the plot to suit your budget and the permitted FAR (Floor Area Ratio) is important.Vaastu is of individual preference.

If the purchase is for investment purpose, the chance of resale is the important factor.A developing area is preferable to a developed saturated area. The investment in developing area is comparatively low and value appreciation will be more.

Non-availability of parking space and traffic restrictions has an adverse effect on the value of the property. Accessibility to the railway / bus stations, airport, star hotels and availability of infrastructure facilities play a important role.
