Important things an Architect Looks for When Buying a House!

Need to know all the important things an architect looks for when buying a house? Here we present you a list of some factors which must are considered by an architect at time of buying a house.

Out Door Orientation

Fore mostly, the step taken is that location and orientation of the house is judged. In which area house is located? In which street or the sector of the area it lies? How far is the market from the house?  All these factors are extremely important as even a lay man knows that the value of a house located in Bahria Town is more than of a house located in Old Lahore. And even in Bahria Town, some sectors are expensive in cost than the others, like Misri Villas are much expensive than houses in Ali Block or Usman Block of Sector D of the society. So the house orientation is an important factor considered by an architect.

House Layout and Structure

Then comes the other thing- the house structure. The number of rooms in house is inspected. It is seen whether there is a garage or not or is the garage large enough to accommodate a number of cars. A terries or balcony is also looked for in the house these days. A single family demands two to three bed rooms in a house and this is the standard often used. Number of bathrooms and more specifically attached bathrooms are considered as well.

Proper Ventilation

Among all the important things to be considered, ventilation is very imperative as well. The house should be ventilated enough so that people could breathe and live easily. Moreover, in case of a smoke accident, the smoke could be made out of the house through ventilation points. Bathrooms should have exhaust fans installed or at least there should be slots to install exhaust fans. Windows also constitute an integral part of the ventilation scheme of the house.

House Character and Quality

There comes an important question that what type of goods and material is utilized while making of the house. High quality material is always regarded highly in the eyes of an architect. High quality material is long lasting in nature and is very reliable in use while low quality material is short aged and deteriorates very quickly. So quality of construction material is very important.

Neighbors

Good people living in the surrounding of the house add value to the house. Environment of the surroundings matters a lot. A house, which is finely built isn't preferred if neighbors living around often create hustle and bustle and are a source of disturbance for the residents of colony. So another important factor is neighbors.

Commercial Value

The all important factor now is the price. The deal gets finalized on a price agreeable to both the parties. The price greatly depends upon the commercial value of the area where the house is located. It is a definite fact that a house of 10 Marla’s in DHA is expensive than a house of 10 marl’s in Muslim Town Lahore. So commercial value is the all important factor as well.

This concludes the tale about all the important things an architect looks for when buying a house.
