Things to note when buying an apartment
Note about the location of the apartment must be good
Buying an apartment with a good location is an apartment that fully meets the basic needs of residents and homeowners such as commuting, working, shopping, and living. You should choose to buy an apartment that is located near the market, school, shopping center, park, entertainment, etc. or places with convenient transportation to neighboring districts. In addition, the location of the apartment must be in an area with convenient traffic infrastructure, many alternative routes in case of traffic jams or flooding. In addition to geographical factors, choosing the location of an apartment must be based on feng shui factors. An apartment needs to have a good direction, be airy, receive wind, not too harsh sunlight, and the frontage facing a river or lake is best. Because according to feng shui, houses with a frontage facing a river or lake will bring peace to the homeowner, full of wealth, and a flourishing and prosperous career. Spacious Minh Duong: This is an important part to pay attention to when choosing to buy an apartment. According to feng shui, minh duong is the space in front of the yin or yang house, which is the place where the yin and yang house hide the wind and gather the energy. An apartment needs a spacious minh duong, which is an open space, an empty area in front. Usually, it will be a green space, a park, especially a lake, which is both a place for entertainment and relaxation and has a good meaning in terms of feng shui.
Choose a reputable investor
An investor with a reputation and position in the market will ensure issues related to construction speed, legality, construction quality, handover process, etc. Therefore, when "aiming" at a project, customers should look for all information related to the investor as well as some information about the contractor, design unit, supervisor and project manager. This experience in buying an apartment will minimize the risks that customers may encounter. Among many famous names in the real estate market, Vinhomes has always maintained its position as the number 1 investor. With more than 13 years of experience developing a series of urban projects and large urban areas across the country, investor Vinhomes is a pioneer in bringing comfortable and classy apartment lines. Here, residents will experience a different living space with "one-of-a-kind" privileges.
Facilities, infrastructure and surrounding area
When buying an apartment, in addition to considering the facilities inside the apartment, the services and internal utilities also need to be carefully considered to ensure that you receive the product as advertised. Especially issues related to security, fire prevention, emergency exits, etc. need to be carefully considered to ensure the highest quality and safest living environment.
Legal documents
The legal documents you need to pay attention to when buying an apartment are: Certificate of land use rights of the investor: This is the most important document, proving that the land the investor is building is legal, permitted by the government agency, avoiding legal conflicts later leading to the project being suspended or revoked. In addition, an equally important thing is that the certificate of land use rights will help you determine that the apartment project you intend to buy is not mortgaged at the bank. Project construction permit: is a type of document confirming that the apartment has been allowed for individuals and organizations to proceed with construction in accordance with the planning. There are many cases where apartment projects are built without permission and are suspended, causing loss of time and money for home buyers. Fulfillment of obligations to pay land use fees and land rent: When deciding to buy an apartment, you also need to determine whether the investor has fulfilled the obligation to pay land use fees and land taxes to the state or not. Avoid the situation where when applying for a red book, you encounter obstacles and are returned just because the investor still owes financial obligations. In addition to the project's legal documents, buyers need to carefully review the sales contract. The terms of the contract must be clear, easy to understand, with agreement on additional service fees, payment schedule, and authority of the parties, etc.
Learn more about the investor
When deciding to learn about and buy an apartment project, you should not trust too much in the sweet words that real estate consultants advise you. The most important thing before buying an apartment is to find out the name, capacity of the investor, the investment license and the construction license of the project. If you are a "safe and secure" person, you should take the time to learn about and observe the construction progress, project location, price increase potential and capacity of the investor (in case of buying an unfinished apartment), visit people who have lived in that apartment about the price, utilities as well as the operation and maintenance of the building by the management board, the satisfaction level of residents living here (in case of buying an available apartment).
