When you are thinking about purchasing a condo, perhaps something lovely like a Watten Estate condo, there are things to focus on that are more important than say the visual appeal of the place. There is nothing wrong with wanting something attractive and appealing but there are other things that should come first so here is a look at them.

Consider carefully the location of the condo

The location of the condo is going to be a crucial factor in whether it will work for you are not. Marina View residences are a great option for Singapore condo hunters if you want or need to be close to Marina Bay. Do you need to be closer to the business district or on the outskirts of city where it is quieter? Everyone has a preference when it comes to different regions of the city depending on factors like where their family lives, where they work, how they travel and so on. As beautiful as a condo might be when you go to see it, you will only feel regret if you buy and then realize the location is completely wrong for you and making your life harder.

Are you close to all of the amenities you need?

Another factor to consider when looking at a Watten Estate condo or elsewhere is the amenities in the building and close by. Different people have different lifestyles and needs. Some might need a pool or gym, some might need to be close to parks, some might like hip cafes and some might be more into the arts and such. Think about what you need and what you want close by to live the kind of life you are looking for.

What budget do you have to work with?

Another important factor is the budget you have to buy a condo with. As lovely as some condos might be if you are looking above your budget you could end up making a really big mistake. Being drawn to something attractive and new and big, you might think you can fit it into your budget but really you cannot. Then you are faced with the risk of losing the place and your money and really being in a bad place. You can sometimes negotiate to a lower price but you should still make sure you can comfortably afford the price of the condo while taking into account you also have moving costs to cover.

Summary

There are a number of things to think about when you are buying a new condo and it is important to keep them in mind so you make the best choice possible for yourself. Try not to let brand-new things and great looking condos to cause you to rush in to a poor decision. With some factors to consider you could end up in some great places such as 

Marina View Residences which are due to be completed by 2028 with over 900 residential units measuring 4,000 square meters slated.
