• Proximity to amenities

• Age of the apartment

Knowing the age of an apartment is fundamental in making decisions when planning to purchase the whole apartment or some of the units. The best way to determine the age of an apartment is by involving the services of an architect.

• Security

Security in and around an apartment gives clients the assurance of not having to worry about vices such as theft and attacks from assailants. Therefore, check whether the apartment is fitted with surveillance cameras and fenced with concrete perimeter walls fitted with electric fences.

• Balconies

The balconies will provide you with an epic view of your surroundings with fresh air whenever you are enjoying a long weekend. Ensure balconies are strategically placed so that you cannot miss catching the beautiful sun rays on a bright morning.

• Maintenance charges

You should know the maintenance charges to enable you to apportion money for it in your budget. Some of these charges include security and garbage collection, elevator, water charges, property tax and municipal tax charges.

• Car parking

Ensure that the apartment has ample parking space that will accommodate a sizeable number of vehicles.

• Proximity to clubs and Entertainment and joints

Clubs and entertainment joints are known to be a source of noise and interference by revellers. Therefore, it is wise to ensure the apartment you plan to buy is far from such spots.
