NO TO FLYOVER, NO TO HIGH RISE !

When buying a residential house or a property, it would really be prudent enough to look into several concerns which may be helpful in making a decision. They are as follows:

1) What are my objectives in buying a residential house or a property? Remember if it is purely for residential purposes you are aiming at, then make sure that the property is located in a residential zone with any potential to become a commercial area. An example is a famous area in Quezon City. It was originally intended to be a purely residential area. But now, restaurants, stores, banks, shops, and medium to high rise buildings have sprouted.

2) Even if no such potential of becoming a commercial area exists, will that property be affected in the present time or in the future by the need to meet the demands of development. An example is the C5 area and those along the Valle Verde area. There seems to be a plan to build a flyover and that is being opposed by the residents in the area. Another is in Tandang Sora, where residents and informal settlers must now resettle or relocate for the same reason.

3) Will the development be continuously sustained and progressive? If I buy a house or a townhouse, what is my assurance that other in my neighborhood will continuously care for their property and maintain its aesthetic fitness?

4) How is the water system and supply? Is the area within a faultline or is it flood prone? How is the drainage and sewerage systems? What about peace and order? Is there sufficient security provisions? Where is the nearest police station? Fire department? Is there a church or house of worship nearby? Is there a clinic or a hospital, and how far is it from the location of the property I intend to buy? What about schools, market and perhaps, malls or groceries, are they accesible? I may also consider the proximity of banks, gas stations, drugstores, laundrymat, water refilling stations and even fastfood outlets. Of course, I may also want to be near a car repair shop where there is an auto mechanic and towing services available 24/7.

So its not really the only issue of flyovers or high rise buildings which mattters. To be considered are other concerns which eventually will determine the future of the home you intend to be imbued with peace, prosperity and happiness.
