Do you want to buy an apartment? Pay attention to these construction issues!

Purchasing an apartment from a developer is one of the most important decisions in life, requiring careful steps and detailed analysis. When choosing your dream home, it's essential to pay attention to key construction issues that can significantly affect your quality of life. The most important ones are discussed in this article. Happy reading.

Finishing Standards

When buying property from a developer, it's important to consider which finishing standard will be most suitable for you. There are two options available on the market: developer standard and "turnkey" finishing. Choosing the developer standard means you'll receive an apartment with basic equipment, such as all utilities, radiators, floor screeds, and electrical installations, but without bathroom fittings and painted walls.

On the other hand, the "turnkey" option includes comprehensive finishing, such as the installation of floor panels, tiles in the hallway, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as complete sanitary fittings and bathroom fixtures. The decision depends on your preferences and the time you want to dedicate to further finishing work.

Apartment Orientation

Natural sunlight plays a key role in shaping our well-being and vitality. Sunlight not only motivates us to act but also makes us more inclined to engage in various activities throughout the day. In this context, it’s crucial to check the layout of the rooms in relation to the cardinal directions of the apartment you are considering buying.

Given the beneficial impact of sunlight on quality of life, many people wish to live in spaces that are abundantly sunlit. It’s particularly important for sunlight to reach the living area—either the living room or the kitchen-living room combo—throughout the day. This is where we spend most of our time, relaxing, meeting with loved ones, and enjoying leisure activities. Bright and warm interiors foster a pleasant home atmosphere.

Equally important is the proper placement of the bedroom. Ideally, bedroom windows should face east, allowing us to wake up with the first rays of sunlight. Morning light in the bedroom facilitates waking up and positively influences our mood throughout the day. Therefore, it’s worth ensuring that the bedroom is the first room to receive morning sun, providing an energetic start to each day.

Are apartments with such layouts available in Polish construction? Of course. Examples include the latest residential developments in Poznań for young people, particularly the Grunwald Between Trees housing estate. This modern estate offers well-lit apartments near the Marceliński Forest, which is cherished by all Poznań residents.

Apartment Size

When buying an apartment, it is important to consider and appropriately select the apartment's size. If you plan to live there for a long time, consider your future plans and the needs of other family members. The best way to choose the right size is to take into account factors such as the number of people in the household, the residents' lifestyle, the functional layout of the apartment, and your financial capabilities.

If you value numerous options for choosing a size, take advantage of the offerings of a reputable developer who provides a wide range of residential units. However, the question will inevitably arise: what size to choose? In the real estate market, you can find so-called studios, typically up to 30 m², ideal for singles.

For couples, a two-room property with an area of about 35 m² will be a suitable choice for a first apartment. There is also a high demand for units around 50 m².

For families with children, two-room apartments are the absolute minimum. As the family grows, the need for more space becomes essential. If you are interested in residential investments for families in Poznań or other cities, focus mainly on units with an area of at least 75–90 m², as properties of this size will provide adequate freedom and privacy.

Access to Parking

When planning to buy an apartment from the primary market, it’s worth finding out if the developer will offer the option to purchase a parking space in a garage and whether they will provide public parking spaces. If a dedicated parking space is assigned to a specific apartment, you should expect an additional cost, currently ranging from about 30,000 to 50,000 PLN. Such amounts can deter many, but there are several important benefits to consider.

Firstly, your decision about owning a car may change, and lacking a parking space may limit your parking options on the property. Secondly, having a parking space is an excellent investment—owning one significantly increases the value of the apartment if you decide to sell it, while lacking such a space can hinder the sale. Moreover, a parking space can also be rented out, which is particularly beneficial for those who do not own a car.

In summary, purchasing an apartment from a developer requires careful consideration of several key construction issues, such as finishing standards, orientation, size, and access to parking. It is also important to align the finishing standard with your preferences and to consider the aspect of access to natural light, which affects living comfort.
