• We will have a look at things which one should consider one by one.

LOCATION

• The first and the most important factor is the location of the home.

• Before buying a home just check for the location of the home.

• When you go for home hunt see the proximity of home to work, noise from neighbors, traffic noise & access to schools, shopping malls etc.

NEIGHBORHOOD

• Even if your home is small but it should be in a nice neighborhood.

• You should see whether neighborhood is safe for people to walk and also safe for their children to play.

• Look for whether there is cleanliness in the surrounding area.

SIZE OF ROOMS

• When buying a home, think about the home space and see whether it would fit your requirements for future also.

• Imagine setting your furniture in the room as you walk.

• If possible carry measurements with yourself.

• Room size should not be too small or too big it should match your lifestyle.

INTERIOR LAYOUT

• Interior Layout or the floor plan is one of the important factor.

• Check for narrow passages and sharp corners.

• Check for natural flow from one room to another room.

• Interior Layout can bring a big effect on your daily life.

WINDOW SIZE & PLACEMENT

• Look for a home with windows placed in a right position.

• Check for the size of window because windows are about comfort and let in fresh air.

• Windows capture views and make a connection with nature.

AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT

• When you like a home and feel like buying it just have a second look at it again but at different time of the day.

• This would make you clear about the natural light that comes in your home.

DRIVEWAY WIDTH

• You might think that this is a silly thing to check for but it is important.

• Check for the width of the driveway which reaches the home.

• Sometimes it happens that car doesn’t fit in the narrow driveway.

STREET PARKING

• Sometimes there are major issues related to street parking.

• There are strict rules and regulations regarding it.

• People are not allowed to park cars in front of their houses at night. So do check for these rules.

STAIRCASE STEEPNESS

• Check for whether the staircase is too steep.

• If you are planning a future in that same home then do not go for steep staircase.

• As after you get old it will not be comfortable for you.

KITCHEN FEATURES

• Look in for the size of kitchen, its layout.

• Look for whether there is a way for natural light to come in.

• Check for number of sinks and storage area in the kitchen.

NUMBER OF BATHROOMS

• Look for a home with enough bathrooms which meets your family needs.

• This is the most important thing to check for in a home. As in today’s busy life there is a need for more bathrooms.

CEILING HEIGHTS

• Check height of the ceiling of the home as nowadays homes are mostly built with less height than normal.

• Bring a person who is tall with you to check this.
