๐ The 5-Point Checklist
1. The "Ulan" (Flood) & Accessibility Test
Don't just visit on a sunny day. Is the area flood-free? Check the road elevation and drainage. More importantly, try the commute during rush hour. If it takes 2 hours to get to work now, imagine doing that for the next 20 years.
โข Check: Is it accessible via public transport or major expressways (CAVITEX, CALAX, SLEX)?
2. The "Hidden" Costs Breakdown
The Monthly Amortization is just the beginning. A "right" property fits your total budget, not just the downpayment.
โข Check: Have you factored in the Closing Fees (6โ10%), Bank Appraisal Fees, Move-in Fees, and the annual Amilyar (Real Property Tax)?
3. Developer Reputation & License to Sell (LTS)
A beautiful showroom doesn't guarantee a quality home. Research the developer's track record. Do they deliver on time? Is the finishing quality the same as the model unit?
โข Check: Does the specific project have a valid License to Sell from the DHSUD?
4. Space vs. Future Lifestyle
Don't just buy for who you are today; buy for who you will be in 5 years. Is there enough room if your family grows? If you work from home, is there a quiet corner for an office?
โข Check: Does the floor plan allow for future expansions or renovations?
5. Community & Security (The "Vibe" Check)
You aren't just buying a house; you're buying a neighborhood. Visit at night. Is it well-lit? Are the guards strict? Are the amenities (park, clubhouse, pool) well-maintained or "abandoned" looking?
โข Check: Is there a functioning Homeowners Association (HOA) that keeps the community in order?
Weโve helped many families navigate these choicesโfrom checking "clean titles" to testing the rush hour traffic in Cavite and Laguna. Don't go in blind!
