House V Apartment

Food For Thought: House or Apartment? 

When one considers that you could easily pay more for a small, 2 bedroom apartment, this house represents exceptional value and is presented in walk-in condition with every amenity already installed for the new owner occupier to enjoy. There is also great rentability for the investor. 

A small 2 bed apartment with 1 bathroom, living room with possibly an open plan kitchen, might provide you with 1 parking space and possibly a small balcony on which you could not dry washing or have a barbecue. You might have access to communal grounds in which no ball games would be permitted for children to play and wherein you would not be permitted to have any pets. If you were to park in the wrong parking space you could be clamped and fined. If someone else parked in your space, you could be seriously inconvenienced. Imagine forgetting your handbag or briefcase. How long might it take you to travel via hallways and a lift to get to your car in the parking area before returning to your own front door? Would there be the possibility of a second parking space and how much extra would you have to pay for it? It is unlikely that you would have any additional storage space such as under stairs, attic or garden shed. It is extremely unlikely that there would be any scope to enlarge your property. You would be billed hefty annual management fees and would be subject to many House Rules and Management Company regulations. 

At No 6, you have independence and freedom to live as you wish. You have space to park up to 3 cars within a couple of steps of your own front door. There is also free on street parking. Your fully enclosed garden is long, private and not overlooked, wherein you can hang out washing, have a barbeque or let children play in confined safety. There is also ample space to extend the property if desired. There is no one living above or below you to cause any disturbance or problems with communal venting with cooking smells permeating your home from a neighbouring apartment. This house has been constructed with solid walls throughout which offer good sound insulation. The rooms are generously proportioned where even the smallest 3rd bedroom can accommodate a double bed. Is this what’s called “a no brainer”?
