It has become quite common for people to purchase apartments in the most common Indian cities. This may not only include metros, but also the smaller calmer cities to get away from a busy job. As time is moving, more and more people are looking for apartments for sale in Goa for investment as well as living purposes. Whatever your reason may be for buying an apartment, we’ve gathered some of the best points to make a quick checklist before you sign the final deal on your apartment in Goa.
- Security
Higher floors are generally safer than the ground floor (Or at least that’s what is considered by the majority. After all, don’t forget the beautiful view that’ll come with it) The reason lower apartments in Goa are considered unsafe is mainly because of the easier accessibility. However, you might also want to check the locality and see if there’s anything you would consider suspicious. Try speaking to neighbours too.
- Privacy Concerns
Watch out for noisy neighbours, bars, local clubs in your area. Such situations usually take away the privacy of your own home. Busy roads, nearby marketplaces, schools, restaurants are few other things that may disturb your privacy. If you’re buying an apartment in a congested area, a higher floor is likely to be quieter and more peaceful.
- Lifts and Staircases
While the first two points speak about a higher floor this point speaks about the concerns with going for a higher apartment in Goa. If your apartment has many floors, we’d suggest you try looking out for an apartment with more than one lift so you always have one functional lift in case one breaks down. While this factor might also be one to ignore, this would carry importance if you have elders and children in your family.
- Connection, Service-Related Factors
Before you buy an apartment in Goa, check to see if you have CCTV service installed for all the right reasons. Also check if you get enough space in your corridor, as that is the only available area you get outside your flat.
- Power Consumption
Your power consumption will increase as you go higher and higher for a flat. So if you’re someone who needs an ac or a cooler your power bill is something you should be ready if you plan on buying a top floor apartment in Goa.
- Light and Ventilation
With all the above being said, living on a higher floor does have its advantages. Besides the lovely view, the natural light and ventilation is enjoyed best above. Apart from all that, there is a lower impact of street-level disturbances as compared to those on the ground and lower floors.
- Rental Returns
In case your purchase is solely for investment, then note that the lower floors generally fetch better rental returns than the higher ones. Apart from that, climate also has a role to play. While cooler cities sell more of the higher floors, polluted and warmer places usually go for lower apartments.
