● orientation of the house
Now, the sample flat is one of many units in the development. As a result, it may not be positioned in the exact location of your apartment. Consider the sample flat as part of a group of flats rather than a standalone structure. The sample flat could provide plenty of light, good ventilation, and scenic views. The windows or balconies may be exactly where they should be! However, it is critical to determine whether your home will experience the same conditions based on its specific location, floor level, unit plan design, and orientation. The orientation of your house can have a significant impact on your lifestyle and overall living experience.
● Raw Final Product
The sample flat may be the best way to present and beautify the house in terms of furniture, light fixtures, fittings, textured walls, modular or customized kitchens, artwork, carpets, and other décor. While you appreciate the appealing atmosphere, it is also critical that as a buyer, you envision the house without the extras. Visualize how the raw space will look when it is handed over to you, stripped of all frills, and what changes you will likely make based on your preferences and tastes. The raw final product will undoubtedly be an aesthetically distinct space, if not structurally so.
● Dimensions and furnishings
The sample flat you are looking at may not be built to the dimensions of your specific house. The sample flat is typically the project’s largest configuration. In either case, request that the builder or sales team specifically mention all of the dimensions of the sample flat and compare them room by room to your apartment. Check and inquire about the actual floor-to-ceiling height, glass or wooden walls and partitions, standard amenities included in the apartment, tile quality, furniture placement size, kitchen platform make, sanitary accessories, and any appliances included.
● Electrical Outlets and Equipment Space
Without a doubt, the well-lit sample flat has adequate lighting and electrical appliances in their proper locations. Determine whether or not you want the electrical points and plumbing fittings to be installed exactly where they are. For example, the refrigerator’s current placement in the sample flat could be visually appealing. However, depending on your specific needs, optimal functionality, and the placement of other appliances, the refrigerator may need to be moved. Assess not only the kitchen, but the entire flat, beginning with functionality and progressing to aesthetics.
As a rule of thumb, try not to get carried away. The sample apartment is undeniably beautiful and truly aspirational. However, pause and compare the brochure’s specifications and layout plan drawings to the dimensions and features of the sample flat and your particular unit. A raw flat under construction may represent the actual space, but it may not be as appealing as the finished product. Be rational in your assessment of the flat sample, but not too rigid or judgmental.
