To buy properties particularly in metropolitan cities is a complex process in the times when, the parking lots have taken over the breathing spaces and balconies have become a promotional object to market houses. They say ‘A good home is made, not bought.’ But to live a great life filled with comfort, one needs a home filled with amenities. Almost all homes have amenities but not every home has got the best of it. 

Now, amenities differ from specific area to location to people and suchlike. However, choosing an amenity while buying your property should not be a task if you know what basic and must-have amenities a housing complex should include. A lot of us get attracted to the builders and houses offering great amenities but, we don’t use a majority of those in our day-to-day life. It’s better to have an idea before processing for the big investment.

A list of amenities you should consider while buying a home.

Power Backup

When opting for new properties in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and such, check whether the housing complex or society has a backup generator. Electricity in the modern era has become a need of time as everything is dependent on it. Right from starting your day to when you are off to bed, you need it for a peaceful life. Hence, the first thing you should opt for when scanning an apartment to buy is electricity.

Security System

The basic amenity you should consider for a risk-free life. City life is complex and so the risk to live in a city becomes more complex. While on your next property purchase make sure your housing apartment has features like CCTV installed, Firefighting equipment, Video Door Phones as well as other safety measures. Also, make sure that the security guard is parked at the entrance door 24/7 to enhance your security.

Parking

In the era of concrete jungles, the demand for space is often charged. More cars are running on the roads than there are houses in cities. Hence, parking lots are something you need to take a look at if your family has more than one vehicle.

24/7 Water Supply

Water is the basic necessity of human existence. From starting your day with water to having a glass of it when you’re off to bed, it is essential to have a running water supply every day. Check with your neighbors or some other local residents before concluding the deal for a safer side.

Private Gyms & Spas

To lead a healthy lifestyle in your next apartment, Gyms and Spas play a major role to shape you up. Amidst the hectic civilization meditation, workouts, and spas are the things that keep you sane. Check these facilities in your next apartment ahead of the time of finalizing the deal.

Proximity Area

The residential complex you’ve been looking for should also have the basic facilities of the school, hospitals, institutes, shopping areas, and the access of your daily basic necessities in the closest proximity. You would not want to drive through kilometers every morning for your bread and eggs nor would you like to commute to your workspace for more than an hour. It feels good when it is sorted. Hence, check this before you make your decision.

On-Site Maintenance

Picture this. You have a gas or a water leakage at your home one morning and all you can do now is wait for the troubleshooter to solve your problem. Chaotic, right? What if your housing society already has one of the maintenance people to fix your day-to-day modest seepage and wear & tear problems? You can save a lot of your time and energy if your housing society has this rectified.

Club House

One of the most important amenities for recreation. Clubhouses are always happening places for leisure and relaxation after a hectic day. They are mandatory enough to organize anniversaries, festivals, and events. Why have any other venue when you have one within your horizon?
