8 things to note when buying an apartment

(Baonghean.vn) - The trend of choosing apartments is popular among young families. However, among the countless projects like today, choosing a suitable apartment is not easy. For those who do not have much experience, making mistakes and "swallowing the bitter fruit" is easy to happen.

1. Choose an investor

Project progress is very important to home buyers.

Buying an apartment from a reputable investor will avoid the awkward situation of having to spend a large amount of money but not receiving the corresponding value.To choose a reliable supplier, home buyers need to carefully research surrounding information.

Find out about the products that are already on the market of an investor (are the projects guaranteed to be on schedule and deliver houses as committed? Is the feedback from residents living in these projects positive?...);

Find out about the project being offered by the investor (is the project given priority to build utility landscapes? is the project guaranteed by a reputable bank? is the project information transparent? is the construction progress of each period of the project guaranteed?

2. Correct understanding of project location

To properly evaluate the project, you need to consider it as a whole by visiting it in person.

The nice words about the location of the project that the seller pours into your ears are often exaggerated. Problems such as flooding, traffic jams during rush hour, lack of parking space or polluted surrounding environment... will not be mentioned.

To properly assess the location, you need to consider the whole picture by visiting the actual area, asking the residents in the area and learning about the social level around the residence. Don’t waste time “surveying” for a few days and then regret it later.

3. Construction quality does not lie in the facade of the building

Often, valuable observation positions that few people know about are wall corners, basements, terraces, staircases, etc. Hidden corners with good quality and high level of completion say everything about the capacity and dedication that the investor has for the project.

4. Know the actual area of ​​the apartment

Take a look at the model apartments before making your decision.

You need to pay attention to the apartment area to suit your family's needs. Buying an apartment based only on the floor plan will be difficult to imagine the real area. Therefore, take a look at the sample apartments before making a decision.

On the other hand, when buying, you must measure the actual square meter area of ​​the house because it is quite different from the advertised one. The investor always calculates the area of ​​the balcony and the path, so you must consider this issue carefully.

5. Location, number of floors

Apartments on high floors receive more light and have better air circulation inside the house.

If possible, you should choose an apartment on a high floor. Because, the higher the apartment, the less pressure your apartment will have. Apartments on high floors always receive more wind and light as well as have a better view, and the air circulation inside the house is also better.

It is best to avoid apartments that are directly opposite the elevator door or stairs. Choose an apartment located outside of crowded areas with many people passing by to ensure quiet and privacy in life.

6. Security and fire protection systems

Life is unpredictable, so in addition to the criteria of beauty, affordable price, convenient infrastructure, the issue of safety when living must be carefully considered.

You need to pay attention to the fire protection system of the building? In case of an accident, can the fire truck enter the building you intend to choose easily?

In addition, the building's security and surveillance camera system also make you feel more secure when moving here to live.

7. Parking

Information about parking and service fees should be clearly understood before signing the contract.

The issue before buying a house you should also be concerned about is whether the underground parking system here is convenient? What is the parking fee? Is there a limit on the number of cars?... All of these issues need to be clearly considered by the buyer before signing the contract to avoid unnecessary troubles later when moving in.

8. Pay attention to the contract, price and payment terms

Sales contracts are usually drawn up by the seller, and are therefore more favorable to the seller. The buyer has more responsibilities and obligations while the rights are considerably less. As a buyer, you need to be aware of this fact and pay it considerable attention before you sign the contract.

For completed projects, the selling price can be easily determined based on the quality of the apartment. For unfinished projects, you need to ask the investor to commit to the quality of the project, the time of handover, and the attached appendix must fully describe the level of completion of the apartment and the accompanying amenities.
