7 TIPS TO TOURING A SAMPLE APARTMENT IN KOCHI, KERALA

admin | June 29, 2020

Once you have decided to buy an apartment in Kochi, choosing the right one is the biggest challenge as it’s also an investment for the future. Earlier home buyers either had the option to visit under-construction flats or were only supposed to rely on the construction images to have a look at their prospective home.

The changed scenario of the real estate industry has addressed this particular concern of home buyers by offering them an opportunity to visit a sample apartment/a dummy flat within the construction site or their office building.

These walkthrough sessions or tours over the actual floor plans offered by an apartment builder would be really significant before making a final decision. Veegland Homes, one of the most trusted builders in Kerala, has prepared 7 Tips to Touring a Sample apartment in Kochi, which can offer you some ideas on how to use your time wisely while touring such model homes.

1. Do some research 

Before you visit any sample apartment or dummy flat in kochi, do check out the builder’s website which can provide information on the builder’s earlier and ongoing constructions, reliability and even offer different floor plans available.

Catering to the general public appeal, builders usually create sample apartments based on their most popular floor plans. But what if these layouts might not be ideal for you? Checking out on what’s available from a builder beforehand can, therefore, save a lot of time.

Research can also help you in determining your price range, which will make the rest of the process seamless. Knowing your budget will allow you to narrow down your locations as well as your home styles and also keep you in check on what kinds of upgrades you can afford.

Having done your research ahead of time you can take your time to explore the sample home and find the process much more rewarding.

2. Limit your visits

Don’t try to visit too many sample apartments within a single day as it can cause you to lose focus and the model homes you saw will all start to run together in your mind. Whereas if you just visit limited homes, at the end of the day, your memories of each home and the community will be fresh and vivid.

If it’s inappropriate for you to limit your visits as you are relocating to a new district, try having a break after every two model home visits so that you can collect your thoughts as well as recharge your minds.

3. Do document your experience

During your walkthroughs of model homes (Sample apartments), taking notes of your favorite features can help you draw comparisons between communities and eliminate floor plans that don’t fit your needs.

Taking photographs or videos of the sample home and it’s offering gives you a visual record of your tour and can later turn into materials with its details that can help you quickly assess whether a model is right for you or not.

If you wish to take photographs, always remember it’s best to ask for permission first, since not everyone is open to the idea.

4. Don’t be too quiet 

As a home buyer, you have the right and responsibility to know what you’re getting yourself into. So the sales agents being there to help you gather the information you need in order to make that right decision, feel free to ask them any questions and queries you may have. They will be more than happy to answer you.

Walkthroughs are the right time to ask questions that pops into your head as later you might forget them or might not have immediate access to the information. You can also get to know what comes standard and what doesn’t or if there are any restrictions in the neighborhood.

5. Inspect craftsmanship

As potential home buyers, you should always be aware of the fact that most of these sample apartments have been designed and merchandised from top to bottom by professionals, to help you imagine how your new home can look.

Therefore, while touring homes, it’s always significant to look beyond the cosmetic facade of nice paint color or fancy furnishings and inspect the characteristics of actual craftsmanship. Quality of the wood work and molding, a flawless floor, and intact cabinets all can tell about the builder’s priorities and attention to detail.

For the above-mentioned reasons, if there is an undecorated version of the floor plan that you are able to see, it’s always recommended that home buyers see the one that wasn’t specially designed to enhance the viewing experience.

6. Picture your belongings

Designed with the objective to make you fall in love with everything from the layout to the light fixtures and the furniture, it’s always important to remember that what you see during model tours are perfectly staged and once you move in, it’ll be your couches, tables, and furniture making the house a home.

Therefore, as you aren’t there to shop for decorations and couches, take time to look at the structure of the house, paying attention to the layout from all angles. There will be features that you will see as you walk forward, but there are also great vantage points as you transition between spaces- view from above or below, or from the corner of your eyes. Always pay attention to them.

7. Drive around the community

As the location is everything when it comes to real estate, learn about the community before you leave the neighborhood and a simple walk or drive can be ideal to serve this purpose. Beyond its location within the city, also take a look at the surrounding amenities that you might require like school, shopping, and public transport facilities.
