Today semi and fully furnished flats have become the preferred option for majority of property seekers. The advantage of moving in immediately without spending extra money on buying home essentials makes them more attractive. Even in cities like Kochi or Chandigarh, which had a traditional market for independent homes, furnished flats are gaining popularity. For example, today fully furnished flats for rent in Chandigarh outnumber other options at most marketplace listings.
For a property seeker who looking for fully furnished homes, here are three top amenities that you must look in detail to choose the right property.
1: Electrical and electronic essentials
Check on the various electrical and electronic essentials installed in the home. Make a list of all electrical points and essentials including fans, exhaust fans, tube lights and power points. Check on whether the landlord is offering just power points or associated lighting bulbs or LEDs. Many property owners ignore exhaust fans which are a must in kitchen and bathroom areas.
Once you are satisfied with the electrical fittings, check the details of the electronic equipments on offer. Ensure the make and model of all electronic fittings like geysers, air conditioners and refrigerators are serviceable by their respective service centres. Getting an outdated model may lead to unwanted expenses on repair and even a possible delay for getting spares.
2: Kitchen Requirements
Real estate experts at portals like property.sulekha.com stress that checking kitchen area is a must, before opting for a fully furnished home. Kitchen appliances and essentials should be discussed with the property owner as per your needs, as the range is very vast.
3: Bed Mattress
A bed mattress may sound like an insignificant thing to consider, but it is here that many property owners often cut corners. Ensure you are aware of the types of mattress offered for all bedroom including master and guest rooms. Choose between spring, coir or latex as per your preference or discuss with the property owner if you require a specific type.
