Things to check about buying location

• Children Factors : This is for those who are married and having children and settled in Mumbai, If you have toddlers or grown up school going children then this is and very important factor to be considered before you make the deal and purchase your home as the schooling factor is much more important and routine in nature. Parents should decide on good residential locations well connected to school you prefer. Ideally it should be not more then few minutes distance from your Home. This helps save enough time of mother and father every day. Also check if both couple are working and need to keep elder mother or kids alone, is that safe enough ?
• Travel Options : Commuting in Mumbai is no option, By private vehicle, Auto/Taxi or Local trains one has to spend time traveling except those lucky few. You ideal home location should be at close proximity from railway station if you are traveling by local trains in Mumbai. Ensure that Auto/Taxi are ideally available as and when you require it during peak hours and mid-nights too to reach railway station. Most of Mumbai locations has BEST buses running which is a good time and money saving option to commute.

• Security : With Inflation going high and terror factors in India, Mumbai city lately had faced many security challenges. One should ensure that the location you planning your home is not isolated and not in those high alert areas. Also with in residential complexes if professional security their and CCTV cameras available, it will be a double plus. Mumbai has late working concept and your home location should be safe enough to come after late night parties and work. Ask local residents about the location safety before you buy.
• Day to Day Required Facilities : As mentioned in children factors checkout schools and college facilities, Their should be at least small dispensaries for emergency medication in the location, hospitals, general stores, beauty parlors, retail shops, banks and ATMs if within the residential township and complexes, its a bingo factor. How about taking some extra time and checking about telephone operators and ISP’s who give phone facilities and internet facilities as that is again now a part of our daily life.
• Avoid Low Lying Locations : Most of the times, Monsoon brings flooding news in Mumbai, Keep notes of those locations in news and ask locals about flooding locations. Most resale flats are more sold in Non-Monsoon seasons when people generally are not able to make such decisions on low lying flooding and water logging location in Mumbai and cry after they buy.
• General Resources : Far suburb residential locations of Mumbai like Virar, Palghar and Boisar in thane district has load shedding problems. Electric current is not available for almost 4 to 7 hours in day, Say it inhuman or insane, this things happens. You will need to spend few thousand rupees extra on inverters and UPS for the new home you buying in such locations, many locations still lack adequate water supply. Lately societies are adopting new ideas on water storage,so check that out first.
• Sanitation and Hygiene : Check if the location is under BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) or not. In proper city almost all are, yet if not check who is taking care of sanitation facilities like picking daily garbage and keeping the complex clean. Although a peep through roads and nallas can give you some idea about hygiene, yet this is an important things to check before you purchase.
• The Green Space Factors : Many locations in Navi Mumbai and Thane Location do have green belts and open plots with cool breeze that keeps us near to nature. Buying an ideal home at such location is quite good if you have above listed points checked and safe in place. But yet, not to ignore to check that the location has gardens and parks, if not small flowing lakes and rivers. Lots of Builders and Developers are giving Eco-Friendly Home so check for details.
• Important Note : Many people are planning to buy homes at western suburbs of Mumbai, beyond borivali and virar locations. Please note that although there are all facilities available in such location in affordable rates, their is a huge difference in lifestyle, travel options and basic facilities compared to Mumbai town locations. Finally before you go out to check the locations, have a look at property purchase checklist that details important internal factors before you make payments for a finalized home.
