Buying a property in itself is an extremely significant step in anyone's life. For most people, this probably happens once or twice. But the choice is undoubtedly important. Whether to settle on a furnished or unfurnished property - Unique Estates consultants advise in the following lines.
The furnished property has a number of advantages and benefits. Whether they suit your style and lifestyle, whether they are consistent with your time and fit into your budget - you have to judge for yourself. Based on our many years of experience, we have collected some of the most important reasons to choose to buy a furnished home.
When you don't have enough time, but you want to move into your new home relatively quickly, you hardly feel like experimenting with an unfurnished property that you have yet to design. If you have to leave your current home quickly, or you are traveling from afar and you need a place to stay, if you are a foreigner and have no acquaintances in the city, and you need to find an apartment or house where you can live for a short or long time - the furnished property is your decision. It has everything you need for a comfortable life, making your everyday life easier right from the start. In properties that have already been lived in, you will find everything from electrical appliances and appliances to small things such as accessories, souvenirs and the like that simply add charm to the property. If the property is furnished but new and you will be the first owner - you can be sure that the pleasant aroma of cleanliness, new furniture and equipment is still present. You're guaranteed to love owning something brand new!
The already furnished property does not require any initial additional care - you literally enter and start enjoying life as before, but in a new place. Of course, it may be necessary to make a few refreshing changes to bring more coziness and charm to your new home, but these are a wish and only if the home that was lived in until now has really been neglected recently. Before you undertake the purchase of the property, it is important to find out whether it is an old or new construction, whether it has been occupied and since when no one has lived in it. It is possible that the property is partially furnished and already has the essentials of primary need, but you still need to buy a sofa, bed linen, part of the kitchen equipment or you want to set up your terrace for the warm summer evenings. But this is certainly for things that will not take much of your time, such as doing a complete repair, including plastering, insulation, waiting for the material to dry and all the other finishing works.
In the market in recent years, it has become increasingly popular to buy properties, not for residential needs, but for the purpose of investment - the buyer already has a home that he likes and does not want to change, invests his savings in another home and hopes to receive additional secure income from it. If this is your case, we advise you to choose the furnished home. There are several reasons. The furnished property is sold or rented much easier than the unfurnished one - you hand over the keys to the new owner and he can move in tomorrow. This is a great convenience that should not be underestimated. If you are buying an unfurnished property that you want to resell, you may need to furnish it afterwards, which will cost you extra money. With the furnished property, the potential buyer can much more easily imagine how he would feel in it - whether he likes the layout (or can make changes), whether the space is enough for him, whether the light is good and any other available things that suit or not his needs. This makes it easier for both the buyer to choose and the seller to filter out only truly interested customers.
Let's face it, not everyone's interior design is a great strength. Sometimes we can't even describe to a loved one exactly what we want in our home. If you too cannot imagine how you want your new home to look, but you know that when you see it, you will know it - then the furnished property is for you! Fashion is transitory, trends change and ultimately it is important to feel comfortable in your new home and that it brings you pleasant emotions such as freedom, privacy, coziness and charging with new strength for the challenges that tomorrow may bring. Don't worry if you don't have a clear concept of colors, details and don't know exactly how the property should be functionally distributed. The variety of all kinds of offers is extremely rich - the market is big and properties are lurking everywhere!
Sometimes we still decide to roll up our sleeves and furnish the property ourselves to make it our own. It turns out that this is no easy task. Running around furniture stores, for decoration, interior furnishings and equipment, may not lead to the expected result and in the end was in vain. You may not be able to match all the colors well, you may not have measured some spaces correctly, the concepts in the different rooms may not match, and it won't be long before you realize that you don't actually like the property you are about to live in. Save yourself unnecessary headaches at the very beginning and choose an already furnished property.
Driven by the desire to save as much as possible and handle the furniture ourselves, it often turns out that we have thrown a lot of time and effort into something that, when you draw the line, turns out to be worth the same or even more. Trust a professional who has already thought about these things and furnished the property in a modern and cozy way. If you don't have a big budget, it is possible to compromise on quality, which in time will be an additional unexpected expense. As they say - cheap often comes out expensive. Therefore, evaluate the time and funds you have available, think carefully about what, when and why you want it and choose the most cost-effective solution for you. It is illogical to invest a small amount in an unfurnished home and then an even larger amount in furnishing or maintaining it. The logistics of all the furniture is also an important feather to consider.
Choosing a home depends a lot on the purpose, time, budget and resources you have. Different factors are important in different situations and people. Therefore, if you need a consultation from a qualified expert - the Unique Estates team is available to assist you!
