Identifying your parking space when buying an apartment
off-plan is just as important a task as knowing the
interior dimensions of the unit.
BENEFITS OF BUYING DURING PRE-SALE:
Plan.
Modify.
Save.
- Location
Location is the most important factor when buying a
home. The area's transportation links, both the roads with
direct access to the city center and the public transportation network
(subway and bus), are essential. In addition, proximity to shops and other
services such as schools and healthcare facilities, parks and recreational
areas are all things to consider. - Price
The price of the home has to be in line with the market, taking into
account different variables such as the area, the quality and the features
of the residential complex. - Quality
The property you buy has to meet a set of quality
standards. It's also worthwhile to have access to samples of the
selected materials and to visit a model unit when construction
allows.
The point of sale may also have a construction
cross-section where you can see what the facade, exterior
joinery, windows or party walls between units look like to help you make your
buying decision. - Home customization.
It's essential to be able to make decisions and work with the company
developing the home so that buyers feel the home they are
buying is different from the rest and that they've made their own contribution.
Being able to customize the home to the buyer's needs and
tastes is a key differentiator.
Depending on the development and the stage of construction,
buyers can choose from different options, from flooring, materials,
layouts or closets to, for example, the color of the kitchen or the
home's lighting. - Comprehensive energy solution
Buying a home in buildings that minimize energy demand, with
more efficient production systems that maximize the use
of free energy sources, guarantees the buyer a very comfortable home and
substantial savings on energy bills, in both consumption and
maintenance. - Real estate advisor or agent
You should buy your home from an experienced,
transparent and financially sound real estate company that develops homes. - Customer Service
The real estate company must have a Customer Service department
that supports buyers from the very
beginning, guiding them through the entire buying process, during and
after delivery.
This department will offer the following services:
– Organizing the courtesy walkthrough before the home's deed is signed.
– Making sure any issues the buyer may
find in their home are properly resolved.
– Providing guidance on the different systems and facilities in the
home. - Common Areas
Every buyer dreams of a development that offers ‘something more’ than
just homes and gives its residents common areas,
with spaces designed for added functionality, elegance, style and comfort.
This means having spaces such as a multipurpose room (SUM), equipped with a
kitchen with appliances, tables and chairs, a lounge area with sofas and even a
terrace where owners can get together for dinner, conversation
or a birthday celebration without having to host it at home.
Life is also easier when the project is equipped with various
sports facilities, courts, a pool or a gym for working out
within the community itself.
It's also important for the residential complex to have areas for the
little ones, from a playground to a
game room where children can learn and have fun playing. - Payment Terms and Financing
The payment terms when buying a new-construction home
off-plan make it more accessible thanks to their flexibility. - Costs and taxes associated with buying a home
Knowing the taxes levied on the purchase of a home will prevent
many last-minute surprises. Make sure you understand all your
tax obligations.
