What to Look For In Your Dream Apartment?

Posted by homehouseestates on April 6th, 2013

While looking out for purchasing a flat in the most prestigious postcodes of London, it is not only the appropriate size and the number of rooms that you should be rummaging around for, but also certain other elements that enhance its magnificence, or augment the convenience that you experience, along with adding value to your extravagant investment. Most Central London flats have one or more of these facilities and many desired amenities, but in order to get the home of your dreams, you must try to find the maximum possible number from the ones listed below:-

1. A reception – More often than not people let go of their dream of a perfect home, and cut down on costs by opting for a flat that has no reception, but they forget the fact that this is a one-time investment and the biggest one of their life, and hence they deserve nothing but the best, and that includes a warm, welcoming and spacious reception.

2. A balcony – Although one might come to think of a balcony as a non-vital part of the house, but it is imperative to have one; because not only does it help one catch a glimpse of the rising sun, and the falling dusk, but it can also become a relaxing spot where one can find comfort and a breath of fresh air after a rather tiring day.

3. Temperature Control – London can get extremely cold in the winters and it always helps to stay put in a place with the facility of under floor heating that keeps one warm in the chilly months of December and January. Similarly, the comfort cooling facility can come in handy during the summer months when the city gets all bright and shiny.

4. Parking Space – The capital city has ample of space for accommodating people, but when it comes to cars, you might want to have an apartment that comes with an underground parking space, for you to keep your much-adored automobile safe and secure.

5. Lifts – If you choose an apartment in a multi-storied building that stands tall, you should always check if it is accompanied by well maintained functional lifts. Though they might not be of use to you now, but in the long-run, you’ll be glad that you paid heed to this aspect while buying the flat.
