However, it is not always possible for a property to be completely in accordance with the Vastu rules. It is important that the home buyer verifies certain aspects of the property before closing the deal. Initial inspection of the property will only facilitate you to rectify the Vastu defects before moving into your new property. Let us discuss a few important Vastu norms you should look for in a new property:
Vastu defects you should check before buying a home:
1.Choose an apartment which does not face the South west direction. Vastu considers Southern direction inauspicious and a source of negative energy.
2.Always choose a property which possesses four corners. Avoid buying a home which has corner cuts.
3.Vastu suggests the ideal kitchen location is the southeast or northwest corner of the house. It is best to avoid constructing the kitchen in the northeast direction. Also, make sure that the kitchen is not directly located above bedroom or toilet.
4.Look for a property which has the master bedroom in the southwest direction. Moreover, ensure that the master bedroom has a window which allows enough light and fresh air inside the room. The window will act as an entry point for positive energy inside your bedroom.
5.Vastu Shastra tips to have more number of windows in the North-East direction than the South-West direction. Always look for a house that has enough ventilators in all the rooms.
6.If the house you are interested in buying has a staircase, then, make sure that it is clockwise and not in the northwest corner of the house.
7.Avoid houses with bathrooms located in the corners of the property. Eastern direction is the ideal place for bathrooms.
8.Vastu Shastra recommends the location of the toilet to be in the northwest direction of the house.
While it is not possible to find a home that is exactly in accordance with the Vastu guidelines, Vastu experts suggest opting for properties which at least follow 70 to 80 percent Vastu standards. Also, a large number of Vastu defects can be rectified with certain measures that are easy to implement even after the construction of the property is completed. However, it is always recommended to ensure Vastu compliance of entrances, bedrooms,kitchens, bathrooms, toilets as Vastu defects in these places can generally be rectified through demolitions only. Conventional methods including the use of wall clocks, glass crystals, mirrors etc. can be used to correct several Vastu faults.
