When you, a home buyer looking to buy a home in the Indian Metros, you have to first decide on a budget. In case you, the buyer has to apply for a home loan, you have to enquire with the bank on the amount of the home loan and the EMI that you may be eligible for applying.

If you or any of the members of the family are working, as a home buyer you have to make sure that the commute to work is not too much or too cumbersome. In most metros traveling to work is difficult and requires planning as traffic is a major deciding factor. A little thinking ahead in the future may become a deciding factor, on whether the property is near a metro or other means of mass commute in the city. You should also ensure that Schools, Healthcare Centers, and Grocery shops are within 500 m of the apartment. Alongside the choice of the locality will also ensure your rate of return (i.e your future selling price or a good resale value). So while deciding on the location one has to check whether the chosen locality has shown a steady appreciation of price in the past and is likely to appreciate considerably in the future.
