Your Checklist for Finding the Best 4 Bedroom Apartments

Searching for the perfect flat for your family can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. The following list can make it easier to find a suitable one.

1. List the Essentials

People buy different types of apartments for various reasons. Your priorities will depend on the types of apartments you are looking for. For example, do you want to buy a home for yourself, or do you intend to rent it out?

If you plan on investing in a rental property, your primary focus will be on features that can help you get higher rent. But, if you plan on buying an apartment for your family, consider essential aspects such as the size of the flat, the number of bathrooms, proximity to work or school, amenities, etc. However, make sure to differentiate between needs and wants. Otherwise, that list can get out of hand!

2. Establish a Budget

After determining the must-have features of your apartment, allocate your spending limit. The following questions can help you set a budget so that you don’t end up overspending:

• Based on your savings, how much can you afford?
• Can you make the down payment right now?
• If you decide to take out a loan, will you be able to make the monthly payments?
• If you are unable to make your loan installments for some reason, do you have any assets that you can sell to make the payments on time?

One of the most important things to remember when purchasing real estate is to be honest about how much you can afford to spend on your apartment. If you decide to take out a loan, you need to be confident that you will be able to repay the monthly installment from your current income. You want to avoid using up all of your savings at the beginning, so make sure to have some savings set aside for emergencies.

But it’s not only about paying the monthly installments that you need to be thinking about. There will be other expenses you will have to take into account. For instance, most well-maintained apartment complexes charge a maintenance fee that you will need to incorporate into your monthly budget. Plus, there is the yearly property tax, too. Understanding all the added costs will allow you to create a feasible long-term apartment plan.

3. Pick a Location that Works Best for You

Ideally, you want to purchase a home that’s close to your child’s school and the office. But not all neighborhoods are the same. So you’re going to have to analyze which location will be the most suitable for your family.

Several factors you need to take into account are:

• Accessibility of both public and private transportation
• Apartment’s proximity to stores
• Ease of access to other parts of the city
• Condition of the road that connects the apartment to the main road
• Neighborhood’s safety
• The standard of living offered by the apartment complex
• The market value of properties in the location, etc.

4. Assess the Available Amenities

Different kinds of apartments have different amenities – some have more than others. This can impact the standard of living your family is exposed to. Sure, your family needs the essentials to guarantee a comfortable existence, such as clean water and electricity 24/7.

But they also need a comfortable, clean, safe environment to live. So, make sure to assess the level of maintenance in the building. Common things to look at include:

• What amenities are available to residents, such as a gym, park, masjid, clubs, play area, etc?
• Did the builders use quality materials?
• Is the stairwell clean of dirt and debris?
• Do the elevators function?
• Are there backup generators?
• Are there security cameras on every floor, lobby, elevator, and entry/exit gate?

Not to brag or anything, but Chapal Builders offers all this and more in their modern 4 unit apartment buildings like Courtyard and Courtyard 2 complexes.

5. Reputation of Builder

There are thousands of real estate projects all over Pakistan – but they’re not all the same. A reputable builder with years of experience constructing high-quality projects like Chapal Builders should be at the top of your list. They not only guarantee to complete your flat on time but also ensure all safety regulations were implemented during construction.

Besides this, buying or booking a flat through a trustworthy builder offers you the peace of mind that all legal documents, including lease documents, NOC certificates, title deeds, etc., have been authorized by the relevant authorities. This prevents any legal and financial issues from arising during or after the project is being constructed.

6. Apartment Layout Plan

Most buildings are designed with two or three bedrooms, so there aren’t that many 4-bedroom options. But that doesn’t mean you should settle for any project. Carefully assess apartment layout styles to find the 4 bedroom flat plan design that feels like home.

For example, Chapal Builders offers beautifully designed four bedroom apartments in one of its latest projects, Navinta Residences. The well-planned interior design provides optimum comfort and functionality to residents, including spacious bedrooms, attached bathrooms, a standout kitchen design, an open lounge, and multiple balconies so you can enjoy the panoramic view of the bustling city below.

7. Think About Resale Value

Even though you are currently looking at different apartment types, you should consider the property’s resale value. It’s a critical aspect that ensures your investment pays off. So, even though your current focus might be on features like layout, amenities, or the surrounding community, the future marketability of the property should also be a priority.

A high resale value often depends on several factors, such as the location of the property, the quality of construction, and proximity to essential services like schools, healthcare facilities, and shopping areas. Properties in prime locations or those within rapidly developing neighborhoods tend to appreciate significantly over time. Additionally, apartments with modern designs, energy-efficient features, and premium amenities often attract higher offers in the resale market. Above all, well-maintained property always fetches a better resale price.

However, the size and types of apartment styles also matter. For instance, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments tend to have broader appeal since they cater to professionals and young couples. But a 4 bedroom flat has a unique appeal for growing families who want to upgrade their living conditions. It can be a strategic financial decision that ensures you secure a healthy return on investment when you do decide to sell in the future.
