Real Estate June 6th, 2010
Finding and choosing housing for shelter just as we are looking for a mate. Many things to consider when choosing a location. Javanese people often equate home with “pulung”, ie, a boon to those who are destined. According to their beliefs, people who buy homes, either new or second home, means a “pulung”. To be able to buy a house there should be any particular effort from the person concerned because the house is not just for those who can afford it.
Many Options
Because buying a home should be “fit” with the buyer, then you are willing to buy a house will certainly find a house that “fits” with you. We have a lot of home sellers to offer, both inside the housing complex, or outside the housing complex. The houses are offered by many parties, including the developer’s own housing, property brokers, as well as those who offer their own homes.
Seeing the house functions as a shelter and live forever, then select the house must be done with the steps carefully and wisely. With a variety of bids, your choice becomes wider. In choosing a residential home, keep in mind is the location factor as the main factor in choosing a home. After getting the location, you specify the new housing which would you choose.
In order not to misstep in choosing housing, here are some things to consider in your selection.
1. See who the developer
Houses as units of property, especially those purchased with credit will involve long-term commitment. This is where the element of trust plays an important role in the property business. When you submit a money sign “finished” and advances, means that you believe that the developer will maintain your trust.
So a developer who could be trusted to consider when choosing a property unit in a location. The trick? Find information on whether the developer in question can be on time to build and deliver their products (houses) in the previous project. If you need to check whether the developer has a disability or not in fulfilling the promise at the time of the handover of the house. This is important considering the number of developers who are in default. In some cases the law also happens that the developers do not build a home visit.
2. See the theme and master plan housing projects
With computer simulation, you can view the brochure offered developers with visuals that can illustrate the theme and master plan development. Both the identity of a housing project. If his theme and master plan is the city park, then at that location is certainly not built industrial estate.
Industrial estate development in a locality may make the area into a noisy, but great business opportunity if property prices in the region increases. On the other hand, the city parks may offer a quiet residential neighborhood, but property prices may also be “quiet” alone. Therefore, find locations that fit your needs.
3. How to supply clean water
Issues such as clean water in Jakarta and other major cities remain a classic problem. Until now, the problem is not solved, despite existing regional water company (PDAM), some of which cooperate with foreign companies.
Clean water supply to the house residents are often clogged, jammed even at all. Water quality is also the subject of a complaint. In this case, water wells appear to be the solution. The reason, well water could be virtually free, beyond the cost of electricity to the pump. However, well water is not always good. Now, more often, we hear that the well water contaminated with sea water or industrial waste. If consumed over many years could harm our health.
For that, you should ask the developer, how clean the water supply at his housing location; whether to use well water or water from the taps. Then, do not forget to ask also to the neighbor next door, how the quality of drinking water.
4. Completed facility
In general, houses in residential area is offered in conjunction with various public facilities and social facilities, such as swimming pools, water reservoirs, electricity, telephones, fire extinguishers, waste water management (Sewage Treatment Plan), religious facilities, health and place.
Facilities that meet consumer needs and also will house a function of lifestyle. Careful selection of the level of availability of facilities will provide greater opportunities to obtain capital gains. Generally, developers avoid building a complete facility from the beginning because of the potential harm developers with the high cost at the beginning, and if there is a recession that cost is not returned. Complete facilities from the beginning to make buyers pay more.
Construction of the facility which will gradually increase the value of property in accordance with the level of development of its facilities and provide benefit to the buyer first. In other words, incomplete facilities can provide opportunities rising house prices. However, the facts show that many developers promise to build the facility.
5.Kualitas
Without such standardization institutions in developed countries, the unit of property can be built with different qualities. This is one of the obstacles that make business mortgage backed securities (mortgage-based securitization) difficult to develop in Indonesia.
In this regard, it is important for prospective home buyers to consider the quality aspects, both physical quality of houses, roads, or the environment.
6. See if the developer runs estate management division (ME)
In addition to building the facility, the physical condition of the environment can also affect the sale value of homes in the future. Therefore, the search for information about long-term development plan for the region developed. Pockets of vacant land must be maintained so as not to suddenly develop into slums because of the development of an undisciplined.
How the steps and efforts of developers to house prices in the complex is not going to fall in the future, such as environmental deterioration and others. This can be seen from how good estate management division which manages the problems, such as waste, facilities, and owners associations.
7. Citizen participation
While not guaranteed, inter-community cooperation can create a housing complex inhabited more comfortable and safer. Therefore, in general, the developer promoting the participation of settlers to participate in addressing the needs of the environment. For example, support the establishment of the home owners association, such as RT and RW in the township which will handle the existing problems in the housing independently. However, sometimes, the developer initiated mobilization efforts are not going well.
If you already know the condition of a residential neighborhood and decided to buy a house in the area, make sure you also look at other housing options that exist in the region.
If you want to spend USD 200 million for a house, see also offered more expensive houses around it. Many houses are sold at a price below the asking price. It is possible that you may be able to spend a little more money to get a higher facility value.
If you are looking for a house with the help of property brokers, make sure you do not ignore the houses being sold by the owner directly (which is not sold by the agent / broker property). If not, you might miss a good chance of obtaining property
We really hope you’ll get the best for your Palace.
