Explaining why Vastu need NOT be your sole consideration for buying your 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad!
Explaining why Vastu need NOT be your sole consideration for buying your 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad! While buying your 3 BHK or bigger apartment in Hyderabad, one of the most important considerations that overshadows all other considerations for many homebuyers is- VASTU. A Vastu compliant home is perhaps the most basic pre-requisite, without which, sometimes, homebuyers in Hyderabad don’t even enter a residential complex. No wonder builders make it a point to not only give STRICTLY VASTU compliant floors but go all out to advertise their offering as being ‘Apartments made 100% as per Vastu’! The home buyers on the other hand go all out to study facets of Vastu on the internet, the direction of various rooms, the ‘facing’ of the home entrance, and so on. Some homebuyers in Home Buyers go to the extent of hiring professional Vastu consultants, and their verdict is cast in stone! The builders are more scared of these self-proclaimed Vastu pundits more than anyone else. The scare of Vastu has been often used to wean away home buyers from being practical and logical. No one wants any harm to their family, and this is the main reason that many homebuyers simply reject a home if there are some Vastu-related defects identified! Examples of how logical and scientific reasons upon which Vastu was originally based-upon are often ignored In the bargain, most home buyers forget to appreciate that over 3000 years ago, Vastu Shastra was propounded as a means to ‘enhance the quality of life, with a focus on two basic elements- ‘sunlight’ and ‘ventilation’. The objective behind all the so-called tenets of Vastu is to lead a comfortable, happy life. Let’s look at the major tenets of Vastu on rooms and their location, and the scientific reasons thereof- Kitchen to the South-East was recommended so that early morning sunlight comes in, and kills all the microbes. Food is cooked in the morning, so more sunlight allows us to see clearly, and cook with comfort Master bedroom was recommended to be in the South-west direction of the plan, and only elderly people were recommended to stay in this room. Again the logic being that sunlight beats hard on this room, and room remains dry. Elders can take heat, but not cold weather. It is healthier to live in a hotter room for elders in the family than the youngsters Let’s face it, none of these things actually matter now if you are living in an apartment. Your kitchen may NOT get morning sunlight at all in an apartment! Similarly, the elders in the home may get a Vastu compliant home, but they end up installing an air-conditioner to cut out the heat. The Vastu proponents 3000 years back never asked for an air-conditioner to be installed. In fact, back then they didn’t even know that after 3000 years, we will have people living in apartments. What’s the right approach to Vastu while buying your 3 BHK flat or bigger ‘apartment’ in Hyderabad? Vastu principles do NOT apply to apartments in its entirety In an apartment complex, you have apartments all around you, and sunlight and ventilation is NOT fully available to you Vastu can apply only on open plots, but even there, sometimes it fails to apply For example, you buy an East-facing plot, and you have high-rise buildings on plots all around you. So, effectively, you DO NOT get sunlight either from East or from West, and your home would always remain under the ‘actual shadow’ of the buildings from morning to 11 am, and from 2pm till night. Here, Vastu principles are completely failed, because you simply don’t have free access to sunlight and uninterrupted breeze As a home buyer, we need to be scientific and logical in our approach, and appreciate the SCIENTIFIC BASIS of Vastu Shastra. Hence, it is prudent to think logically, and if your apartment is making you feel comfortable, you have adequate sunlight (regardless of directions), and the feeling of spaciousness is pronounced, take a practical call. Book an apartment that feels comfortable, offers convenience and gives you natural light and adequate ventilation. Think ‘why’ Sage Mamuni Mayan might have considered while evolving the logic of ‘Vastu Shastra’ over 3000 years back on the art of building temples, palaces, towns, and cities. Sage Mamuni Mayan, Thakkar Pheru, Ramachandra Bhattaraka Kaulachara, and many other proponents certainly did NOT have apartments and flats in mind while they propounded these scientifically based ‘Vastu tenets’. To conclude, Vastu Shastra must NOT be followed as a dogma. Instead, Vastu tenets need to be understood as per their intended scientific reasons for a happier living. To quote Adam Smith, “Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Rules of Vastu do NOT apply ‘fully’ to apartments- a wise and logical perspective on Vastu for 2/3 BHK home buyers in Hyderabad” Click here

Looking for 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? 7 Expectations in post-COVID era you can’t ignore!
Looking for 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? 7 Expectations in post-COVID era you can’t ignore! This article deals with the question “What kind of home will I need in the post-COVID era?” Given below are 7 expectations that home buyers have from their homes in cities like Hyderabad. 1. Sunlight, good ventilation and Work-from-home spaces Good sunlight and ventilation are the scientific basis for Vastu. Rather than following Vastu shastra blindly, home buyers will actually see if the needs are being fulfilled with better ventilation, direct sunlight, and pollution-free approach to their apartment Less crowded locations are gaining importance. The hitherto ‘good locations’ situated in crowded areas are being re-looked upon from ‘family-safety’ angle In the post pandemic era, both companies and educational institutions are open to greater flexibility on work-from-home or study-from-home (online) options. While the parents are busy working from home, the students are attending to classes and preparing for Exams and writing them as well from home! Design elements needs to cater to these changed priorities and crying needs of all the family members Efficient use of space becomes a much more critical in the post Pandemic era Efficient and effective designs for your 3 BHK flat is the key where every square inch of available space is put to effective use in making life more liveable and healthy A 2 BHK apartment clearly do NOT measure up to the needs of the family Bedroom, living room should be designed to convert and accommodate workstation areas for all the members of the family 2. Kitchen area to be inviting and more efficient Open kitchens are in vogue with much greater rigour as they give you more space with lesser walls Open kitchen provides for better social connect, and ability to multi-task Kitchen in a post-pandemic scenario is the most flocked area for the family members The pantry of the office is also added to the kitchen area…a space that’s frequently by almost all the family members for munching and drinking something incessantly Hence, the deign-elements need to cater to this need by the builders mostly to 3 BHK flat 3. Privacy considering more time spent at home In the pre-2020 times, the members of the family would pack their lunch boxes and head outside the home Now, the amount of time spent inside the house is more…for all family members Hence, the need for superior designs that offer better privacy, noise-reducing doors and windows are a must Home automation systems also have gained importance, and enable more privacy besides making living a more pleasurable experience 4. Lower bills upon electricity consumption While air-conditioning was NOT much of a priority earlier, but having to work or study from home requires air-conditioning as well as all other electrical gadgets to be far more efficient Lighting, equipment, and fixtures across the home need to be extremely well-planned, and energy efficient to lower the electricity bills The design-element of floor plans of your 3 BHK flat also need to cater to this factor, so that only necessary ports of electricity points are operated to remain within a reasonable budget 5. Space for health and fitness With gymnasiums and outdoor exercise options being limited, home buyers are open to having additional space for fitness The living room designs are also being made to double-up for multi-tasking capabilities Even furniture automation options are being increasingly used to use the space for dual purposes. E.g. the bed could fold-up vertically, and create space for a work-from-home work-station Here again bigger 3 bedroom apartments (upwards of 1600 sft) alone can cater to more space for your family needs. Smaller home just won’t be able to deliver a better quality of life 6. Airy balconies/spaces to breathe easy Being locked inside the house for eternity due to social distancing norms get suffocating This is why open spaces to stretch your legs, walk around the house comfortably, and ability to sit or stand in the balcony comes as a huge respite 7. Lesser focus on shared amenities like gymnasium, swimming pool Common amenities that are used and touched by multiple human beings are increasingly being avoided, or being made ‘contactless’ with the help of technology Gymnasiums, swimming pools, club-houses, beauty-salons, spas, sitting areas, restaurants, cafes, shops etc. within the gated-community complexes are NOT a priority now There is absolutely no point in paying for all the facilities and common amenities that you cannot use Priority is to secure and make common areas like elevators, stairs, security system contactless as possible Touch-free sanitary, bath and kitchen fittings are gaining more importance Anything that lessens human touch is gaining importance Home automation companies are coming-up with innovative technology solutions that are here to stay for eternity Builders who are making adjustments in their layout plans considering the above factors will be able to sell their apartments faster. Standalone apartment buildings are also gaining importance, since what’s inside the home is more important that the external amenities. Your family matters! Gain the right perspective to provide a safe, comfortable abode for your loved ones!!

Planning on a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? 5 mistakes to avoid!
Planning on a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? 5 mistakes to avoid! Hyderabad today offers you a wide range of residential offerings! Majority of the available options come to us in ‘standalone apartment buildings’. Apartments made by bigger builders in ‘gated-community apartment complexes’ spread over acres of land are fewer in comparison, although they definitely offer more amenities. The advantage a ‘standalone building apartment’ is more space (built-up area) for the same price in low-density, good locations. This is because standalone buildings, unlike huge gated-communities, are built in well-established, low-population residential colonies. The plot sizes of these standalone residential complexes seldom goes beyond 1200 square yards. Home buyer preferences in post-pandemic scenario Besides, in a post-pandemic era, the home buyers are looking at ‘relevant’ amenities. Amenities like gymnasium, clubhouse, swimming pool etc. are the first ones to close in a pandemic-like situation. In this case, a standalone building offers you a safer living because only ‘relevant amenities’ like generator (power back-up), elevators, parking etc. are provided. The benefit of NOT having additional amenities results in you getting MORE SPACE inside your home with an apartment in a standalone building. In this article, we strongly recommend choosing a bigger apartment should your budget permits. This article is meant for those who have the wherewithal to explore a 3 BHK or bigger apartment in the range of Rs 65 lakhs to Rs. 1.3 Crore. 5 mistakes to avoid while buying your 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad Given below are 5 mistakes that a home buyer must avoid while making a choice of a 3BHK apartment in Hyderabad: 1. Not to explore apartments that are NOT RERA and GHMC approved RERA gives us protection from unscrupulous builders RERA and GHMC approved homes means that the builder is being watched over the construction process, and will have to give timely possession of your home Plus, funds given by you towards are used only for construction purposes This means peace of mind 2. NOT to freeze on ‘location’ and ‘size’ early-on Sometimes, it’s open to be ‘open-minded’ before you make a decision about location and size A location which seems best today, may not meet your changed priorities a few years later Same goes with the location. For example, a location close to main road may be considered a superb location, and you may get a smaller apartment for Rs 70 lakhs in this so-called ‘excellent location’. This location may become more cluttered, noisy and polluted 10 years from today So, think practically & futuristically, and NOT just based on what’s VISIBLE TODAY 3. NOT to ignore your family needs and requirement in terms of ‘carpet area’ & actual ‘available space’ A 3 BHK apartment admeasuring 1400 Sft in built-up area will actually give you about 950 sft of ‘carpet area’…and in turn this will mean only about 650-700 sft of ‘available floor space’ for you to walk around The ‘available space’ of your apartment will continue to be reduced over time. Besides, things like beds, kitchen counter-top, refrigerator, dining table, sofas, chairs, tables etc. you will keep buying and adding to your household items This continuous addition to household items reduces the NET-SPACE AVAILABLE This in turn means that while buying your 3 BHK apartment, it is beneficial to err on the side of MORE SPACIOUS APARTMENT…and embrace a superior living experience 4. NOT to be over-obsessed with so-called ‘excellent or good location’ Not being over-obsessed means that deliberately choosing an apartment in the interior location. Interior location means about 2-4 Kms away from the main road of the locality you finally choose in Hyderabad For example- 1500 sft vs. 1700 sft You get a 1500 sft apartment in a location that’s 1 Kms from the main road, and for the same money, you get a 1700 sft apartment (of similar specifications) In this case, it may be more sensible to choose the interior location that’s more spacious, and has cleaner air While the social infrastructure around is a little farther away, but the trade-off will surely be worth it! In Sainikpuri-Yapral belt, for instance, the prices per sft based on location are lesser by Rs 200-400 per square foot as you move towards Yapral location (between 2-4 Kms from Sainikpuri main road). These apartments are surrounded by better green-cover, and are far more spacious. Basically, you get MORE SPACE FOR THE SAME MONEY! This applies to almost all localities across Hyderabad 5. Not to compromise on ‘QUALITY’ for want of a ‘good deal on pricing’ This is a major mistake that needs to be avoided. It’s almost like a trap, where we get swayed away from choosing a poorly constructed apartment for immediate gains In the garb of getting a good deal, you may end-up getting an inferior apartment This becomes a sour-deal in the future when the entire building starts getting a run-down look, and many problems emerge starting from dampness, chipping, plumbing-issues/leakages, termites etc. Selling them later becomes an impossible task This is where, you need to verify the specifications being offered, the reputation of the builder based on past projects, and the overall construction rigour/standard being followed by the builder There is certainly no point taking an LOW QUALITY INFERIOR APARTMENT even if you are getting it at a discounted price Example- comparing a low-quality offering with a high-quality offering Builder ‘A’ is offering an apartment in an interior location at Rs 3800 per sft. Specifications and construction quality are average Builder ‘B’ is offering an apartment in the same interior location at Rs 4000 per sft. Specifications and construction quality are SUPERIOR, and is known for using high-end materials, accessories, fittings etc. Clearly, you need to have the wisdom to find this difference, and NOT be trapped in the lure of low price Construction elements like soil-testing, termite treatment, sold structural engineering rigour, using high-grade TMT bars/cement etc. are elements that cannot be ignored So, make the right decision with the right frame of mind, backed by the
Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? Get the most out of your home!
Buying a 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? Get the most out of your home! Pandemic has set the tone for re-prioritizing a few ‘asks’ out of the definition of a ‘dream home’. Homebuyers in Hyderabad now need efficient floor plans that incorporate ‘work from home’ and ‘study from home’ floor designs. The priorities also involve apartments complying with social distancing norms, improved sanitization, and designs that are preventive in nature from all kinds of diseases and pollutants. Homebuyers are now more inclined to choose a 3 BHK apartment, a home that’s ‘pandemic ready’. Homebuyers seek ‘safety, ‘sense of spaciousness’ and ‘better quality of life within the four walls of their dream home! 5 areas that you need to get right while choosing your 3 BHK apartment are discussed here. 1. Not having common walls in your apartment, and better ventilation to ward off stagnant air Not having common walls with your neighbours allows you greater privacy, better health, and a safer living experience Chances of microbes travelling inside your home through air gets less with the consequent improved-ventilation due to this You can have more windows and doors for better cross ventilation, and superior air-conditioning Superior ventilation allows the hot/polluted, stagnant air to get flushed out of your home, facilitating fresh air to enter your home Simply put- having ;no common walls’ allows you a healthier living 2. Every room to give you more ‘available space’ Built-up area is usually how the builders talk about their apartments, e.g. 1400 sft apartment is actually the built-up area, and you get only 70% of this area as ‘carpet area’ which translates to 980 sft of actual floor space Out of this ‘carpet area’ of 980 sft, the effective area available to set your foot (move freely) is again lesser by 35 to 40%…because of furniture, wardrobes/cabinets, fittings/accessories, kitchen-platforms, and other household items eating into the carpet area The home buyer needs to factor in ‘available space’ when the floor-plans and designs are viewed. This is because, as time progresses, you continue adding more and items to your home making it CLUTTERED Sometimes, the builders do NOT show the floor plans with needed things like a study table for ‘work from home’ or ‘study at home’ options, This makes the room even more cramped-up and stifling when you try to accommodate a work-station, tables and chairs Hence, AVAILABLE SPACE is an important factor, and a 3 BHK unit also needs to have rooms that are adequate to cater to your needs 3. A more efficient and pet-friendly utility room With pandemic, the need to be self-sufficient cannot bovver-emphasised You need a reasonably spacious utility room upwards of 50 sft to cater to your laundry, drying, washing, storage and pet-related needs A small utility room is no longer a good idea, and your end up spending a lot of time washing clothes, ironing them, and to store all the food and beverages for the family 4. A locality that’s NOT heavily populated, and allows for ‘social distancing’ Clearly, more crowd means more diseases, and closer contact with people in general Localities that are still NOT saturated and are less populated give you a better quality of life 5. Gentry, greenery and social infrastructure around your chosen locality for buying a 3 BHK flat For a non-polluted and clean air, you must consider a cleaner, interior location The other advantage with a cleaner, greener place is that it is usually 2 to 4 Kms away from the main roads, hence would remain pollution, and noise-free for a longer duration For example, area adjoining Sainikpuri-Yapral belt is much cleaner than the area which is closer to the main road. These are also cheaper in price, allowing you to buy bigger apartments for the same money What you need to get right is a fine balance of SPACE and SAFETY for your family. For a pandemic-ready, safe living, you could do well with a location that is a little away from the main roads. Lesser the traffic and population around your home, the better. Plus, being away from crowded areas, you can actually get more space for the same money! Having more space available to your family is far more important than living in a smaller home that’s adjoining the high-traffic zone in Hyderabad. After all, good health matters! To quote Harry J Johnson- “The human body has been designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by its environment. The secret of good health lies in successful adjustment to changing stresses on the body.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “3 BHK flats in Hyderabad- Importance of visualizing & analyzing ‘available floor space of your 3 BHK floor plans” Click here
