Reasons Why You Should Buy A Townhouse

If you are currently looking for a property/house near Bangi, Kajang or Cheras area, you should definitely look out for one that cost less and has many side-benefits as well. With the abundance of property and houses out there, you should look into buying a townhouse. I know, it might seem like an absurd idea, since it is not the typical and normal houses you would see every day. But, fortunately there are many advantages that you can gain if you end up owning a townhouse. 

What is a townhouse?

Well, in short, townhouse is a terrace style property but with two houses on top of each other. These structures are typically three-story, and in some cases four-story, and contain two or more property units within a single structure. A typical townhouse layout would include a ground-floor unit owned by one person and a top-floor unit owned by another. Moreover, owners will live in their own private section of the property as there are basically no shared spaces, except for the parking space.

Townhouses are also built with the same kinds of facilities you would find in a condo complex. However, the important difference is that, if you own the house, you also own the land which it sits on. For condo complexes, you only own what is inside the walls of your condo, not the land. If acquiring a piece of a land is on your wish list, a townhouse will allow you to satisfy your objective.

Townhouses cost less

Townhouses are typically less expensive than free-standing houses or single-family dwellings. Townhouses are often multilevel structures that share a side wall or two with another townhouse, however this is not always the case. 

Like a single-family home, they could have as many bedrooms and bathrooms as the floor design allows. They might be in the heart of the city or out in the outskirts, surrounded by vineyards and woods. The idea is that you can obtain a lot of the same things in a townhouse as you can in a conventional house for a lot cheaper.

Proper facilities available

When you purchase a townhouse, you are purchasing a piece of property that is part of a community with facilities. Most townhouse communities have a gym, a pool, a laundry facility, tennis courts, and even a leisure room that residents may use for events.

If one of the features in your townhouse community is missing, owners can combine their funds to have it installed, as long as there is enough space on the land. As a townhouse owner, you technically own a portion of each of the shared facilities. 

There are many other pros as well as cons when buying a townhouse. Regardless, in any property purchases, you will encounter some pros and cons as well. It all depends on you, your budget, your needs, requirements and wishes, when purchasing a property or house for yourself. All in all, the most important thing is to take all the pros and cons into consideration and decide wisely.
