What to look for when you’re buying luxury apartments in Khar Mumbai

Everywhere you look; there are upcoming residential projects in Mumbai. There is no lack of new constructions all around the city. Khar West is an area that affords both the town feel and the ease of being in the suburbs. It is an ideal locality to live in as it has the best schools, health facilities and even entertainment facilities in the city. This is perhaps the best time for someone to be looking for a new flats in Khar West, because there are quite a few new projects here.

Residential projects in Khar West are known for being the best in the city. They are much more affordable than property in the town part of Mumbai or SOBO as it is called and builders here also promise you that you will be getting a luxury property here. But a buyer shouldn’t always believe what he is told. Just because a property is in a good locality, it does not make it a luxury property.

Here are five things that will assure you that the property you’re investing in is indeed a luxury property.

1.  Prime neighbourhood: A prime neighbourhood with good amenities like good schools, hospitals and entertainment facilities is a must for a luxury project. Residential projects in Khar West, have all that going for them, but there are other factors to take into account as well.

2.  Builder: There are certain builders in the city who are known for luxury projects. Some of the best builders in the city have upcoming projects in Khar West, so finding a good builder in this area is not a challenge.

3.  Ambiance: Many builders today pass of a property with multiple wings or buildings, as luxury. But luxury and exclusivity sort of go hand and hand. A standalone structure with a lot of space for parks, ample parking and amenities like a gym, spa, swimming pool and clubhouse can qualify as a luxury project.

4.  Top notch security: In today’s times no amount of security is really enough. But a luxury project needs to have a good security team with round the clock guards, CCTV surveillance and emergency services handy.

5.  Build quality: Since a luxury project should be built with the best building material available. All the raw material used for the building should be tested. Even the tiles, counters, lifts and fittings provided by the builder should be from the top brands in the business.

Luxury residential projects in Mumbai are very much in demand right now. Everyone wants a piece of the luxurious life and hence all new projects are tagged as luxury projects in Mumbai. But just like all that glitters is not gold, all they says luxury is not indeed luxury. A luxury residential property is exclusive in everything, from building material to the fittings in the flats. In truth, only half the projects that a tagged luxury are actually worthy of that term.

Juhu is a suburb in Mumbai and is one of the most sought after localities in the city. Its proximity to the sea and a number of new projects in Juhu can be credited for that. Flats in Juhu can start at around 1.5 to 2 Cr.  Juhu property rates are high but the properties in this area are really worth the price.  

If you’re looking for property in Juhu then you have a lot to choose from due to the number of luxury residential projects coming up in the area. But before you invest you need to check whether the property is actually a luxury property. Here’s the check list you need to tick off.

Energy-efficiency, smart lighting and sound, climate-control and smart toilets, smart surveillance are all the things that need to be in luxury residential projects in Mumbai.

2.  Build quality: When you purchase a luxury flat you pay a hefty price. You need to ensure that you get what you pay for. The quality of everything from raw materials, like cement, bricks and the iron need to be quality checked. The lift, fittings and amenities given to you along with your flats need to be of the top brands too.

4.  Entertainment within premises: Luxury means having everything you need all at your fingertips. Entertainment facilities like movie theaters and gaming zones and even good restaurants are a must-have for a luxury property.
