Things To Look For When Hunting
For A Home
INTRODUCTION
• This presentation will help you to get a right start for
your home search.
• It focuses on things which one should keep in mind
when hunting for a house.
• There are many factors which one should consider
when searching for a home.
• We will have a look at things which one should
consider one by one.
LOCATION
• The first and the most important
factor is the location of the home.
• Before buying a home just check
for the location of the home.
• When you go for home hunt see
the proximity of home to work,
noise from neighbors, traffic noise
& access to schools, shopping
malls etc.
NEIGHBORHOOD
• Even if your home is small but it
should be in a nice neighborhood.
• You should see whether
neighborhood is safe for people to
walk and also safe for their
children to play.
• Look for whether there is
cleanliness in the surrounding
area.
SIZE OF ROOMS
• When buying a home, think about
the home space and see whether it
would fit your requirements for
future also.
• Imagine setting your furniture in
the room as you walk.
• If possible carry measurements
with yourself.
• Room size should not be too
small or too big it should match
your lifestyle.
INTERIOR LAYOUT
• Interior Layout or the floor plan
is one of the important factor.
• Check for narrow passages and
sharp corners.
• Check for natural flow from one
room to another room.
• Interior Layout can bring a big
effect on your daily life.
WINDOW SIZE & PLACEMENT
• Look for a home with windows
placed in a right position.
• Check for the size of window
because windows are about
comfort and let in fresh air.
• Windows capture views and make
a connection with nature.
AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT
• When you like a home and feel
like buying it just have a second
look at it again but at different
time of the day.
• This would make you clear about
the natural light that comes in
your home.
DRIVEWAY WIDTH
• You might think that this is a silly
thing to check for but it is
important.
• Check for the width of the
driveway which reaches the home.
• Sometimes it happens that car
doesn’t fit in the narrow driveway.
STREET PARKING
• Sometimes there are major issues
related to street parking.
• There are strict rules and
regulations regarding it.
• People are not allowed to park
cars in front of their houses at
night. So do check for these rules.
STAIRCASE STEEPNESS
• Check for whether the staircase is
too steep.
• If you are planning a future in that
same home then do not go for
steep staircase.
• As after you get old it will not be
comfortable for you.
KITCHEN FEATURES
• Look in for the size of kitchen, its
layout.
• Look for whether there is a way
for natural light to come in.
• Check for number of sinks and
storage area in the kitchen.
NUMBER OF BATHROOMS
• Look for a home with enough
bathrooms which meets your
family needs.
• This is the most important thing
to check for in a home. As in
today’s busy life there is a need for
more bathrooms.
CEILING HEIGHTS
• Check height of the ceiling of the
home as nowadays homes are
mostly built with less height than
normal.
• Bring a person who is tall with
you to check this.
THANK YOU
Thank you for investing your valuable time in watching
presentation. I think this presentation would be helpful
for you all if you are planning to buy your dream home.
