What are the benefits of buying a 2BHK flat?

Buying a new house has always been a major decision and trends seem to sway one way or other from time to time. As per the market analysis by Housing.com, the Indian real estate market still sees a majority of buyers from the middle income and high middle income segment of the society and their preferred choice is the 2BHK apartment with about 40% buyers opting for this particular type of apartment. With various projects coming up across the major cities like Kolkata, the obvious question is, what are the driving forces behind this choice? Here is a list of some of the major benefits of getting a 2BHK apartment.

  • Family Planning – Indian society is a closely knitted and family oriented society. Even with the increase in nuclear family, it is not merely the couples occupying an apartment all the time. Moreover, any person willing to get married will be looking forward to buying a house at first. This is generally a decision taken at the early stage of the career where the budget is a moderate one. But the budget factor should be considered in context to future plans. While considering the marriage, getting a 1BHK apartment might sound good enough for just two people, but will certainly feel cramped when family grows. Thus, 2BHK apartment becomes the obvious minimum choice.
  • Cost Analysis – India is a highly cost sensitive market. Almost any buying decision is taken after checking out the price and price is generally the most important determining factor. While 1BHK apartments are comparatively cheap, they will not be practical choice for a person considering a growing family or not looking to change the apartment any soon. 3BHK apartments and above are quite expensive. In fact, the price is well exceeding the mark of 1 crore in most cases. On the contrary, 2BHK is not just a practical option, but an affordable one as well. In major cities such as Kolkata, getting a 2BHK apartment in a good locality with excellent communication advantage and other general facilities. Thus, most of the time 2BHK flats become the preferred choice.
  • Better Maintenance at Low Investment – Compared to the 3BHK apartments, maintenance of a 2BHK apartment will cost much lower. However, when compared to the 1BHK apartment, the cost increase is not so significant. Thus, it is always a smarter choice to opt for a 2BHK apartment and ensure that the apartment maintenance charge remains lower than a 3 or 4 BHK.
  • Better utilisation – Investments are done keeping in mind the available resources. 3BHK apartment sounds like a large space, but with the modern nuclear families cropping up especially in the metro cities like Kolkata, opting for a 3BHK apartment might just turn out to be an excess of space. 2BHK apartments are cosy and offer optimum utilisation of the space.

For anyone who is considering buying a new apartment, it is the smartest option to invest in a 2BHK apartment, even if the person is single at the moment. It will offer you a better expand ability along with better resale value in the future if required.

Standalone Buildings Or Gated Complex- Which One Should You Opt for

When it comes to buying a home, the first thing that often crosses our mind is that whether we should opt for a standalone building or a residential complex. While the majority nods for the latter, considering its benefits, there are still few buyers having  a strong affinity for standalone buildings. This is because a standalone building is apparently economical than the residential complex. In spite of this fact, there’s a major shift towards residential complex. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this growing popularity of the complex apartments.

While the residential complexes have garnered quite a demand, the standalones witnessed steep demand depreciation in the current financial year. Apartments in the gated complex remained the most preferred category across different zones in Kolkata. Flats in Rajarhat New Town and other city fringes have acquired quite a high demand as most of the housing projects in these areas are gated complex.

The Primary Reasons for the Shifting Preference

However, the primary reasons of why homebuyers are opting complexes are discussed below:

  • While budget is often a deciding factor of a home buying decision, it’s also true that the residential complex like One Rajarhat is offering the buyers a world of amenities, which is otherwise unavailable in the standalone buildings. To increase the convenience quotient of your standalone apartment, you need to spend an extra amount, which is often close to the price of a residential complex. From this perspective, a residential building certainly deserves a higher degree of preference.

 

  • The fittings and fixtures generally provided in a standalone building is inferior to that of a complex as number of flats is much higher in a complex resulting in bigger procurement orders and better deals.

 

  • The gated communities/complexes offer the inmates a great luxury of common space along with improved security measures, which is unavailable in the standalone buildings.

 

 

  • Residential complexes usually come with the collective facilities ensuring ease of life. Apart from having amenities like swimming pool, piped gas, clubhouse, gymnasium, ample car parking, multipurpose courts, indoor play areas, Yoga/Meditation rooms, rainwater harvesting, gardens, RO water system and intercom facility for each apartment, along with 3 Tier security that give you the assurance of safe and secured life.

 

The kind of amenities available in complexes majorly draws the attention of buyers. What’s more important is that the inhabitants do not need to deal with the everyday issues related to basic facilities such as water, electricity and sewerage.

Thus, giving them the opportunity to breathe fresh and live green!
