Things to consider as per children’s need
Things that prominently should be considered keeping children in mind are the availability of schools and colleges. The connectivity to schools and colleges play an important part in selecting the house. Choose the property which has schools and education centers nearby. Also, having a playground and open space in close proximity plays an important role in the well being of not only children but people of all ages. As the times are changing having pubs, malls, food outlets and recreational centers have become a lifestyle of teenagers, it is important to consider their location as well while buying a house. Security also plays the huge part in child’s development. Make sure that the area and neighbourhood are safe and has proper security.
Rather than buying a house based purely on the location, it is wise to buy the house that meets the requirement of the family.
Impact on property cost
As children’s needs are to be considered while buying a house, these also affect the cost of property. If the property has schools, colleges, park, nearby than the price rises significantly. Most builders provide parks and children oriented space in their premises. If they are charging extra for the same, then ask for the proper justification for the extra cost. The choice and the type of neighbourhood also affects the price of the property.
Everything comes down to the budget of the buyer and what they are able to afford to keep in mind the basic requirements. It is wise to not go overboard on the cost as the expenses of the family will increase keeping in mind the needs of family and children.
Children are an integral part of the family and their needs and requirements should not be overlooked or compromised just for the sake of location.
