The views and the proximity to the water help define the purchase of a home in a private neighborhood
For those new to the world of gated communities considering moving or those needing to change homes, it is crucial to educate yourself on several key aspects before making a decision. One of the fundamental factors to take into account before buying a house is accessibility and location.
Although the offer of private neighborhoods is diverse, adapted to different preferences and budgets, it is essential to consider these aspects depending on the location and needs of each family. Proximity to the city of Buenos Aires is usually a requirement for many, and in most cases, property prices vary depending on their proximity to highways such as the Panamericana, Acceso Oeste, Route 58, and the Autopista Buenos Aires La Plata, among other highways.
Specialists advise that when considering moving to an urbanization, it is essential to evaluate whether the family can form an interest group, generally sporting or educational. In addition, they must ensure that the lifestyle they are looking for in the new home is compatible with the family's mobility needs, avoiding inconvenient trips to jobs, schools and universities. Finally, it is advisable to choose a neighborhood that offers security, a pleasant environment and services that fit your budget.
Accessibility and whether the place is consolidated are also keys to keep in mind
“When choosing a home, it is advisable to have the advice of a real estate agency with recognized experience and knowledge of the area in which you wish to move. They are the ones who will best understand the needs of that family and will know how to guide them as future neighbors,” Gustavo Iglesias , from Gabriela & Gustavo Iglesias Negocios Inmobiliarios, who sells in Nordelta, advised Infobae.
Another recommendation before buying a property is to opt for established neighborhoods.
There are families there, a community has been formed, there are houses, it has infrastructure, administration, security, a lot of investment in sight and a solid legal structure.
Generally the kitchen is connected to the gallery or barbecue area in urbanizations.
Mariano Otálora , vice president of SAT Group, which is developing La Magdalena, in Canning, told Infobae that “once the tours of the possible neighborhoods have been completed, it is convenient to analyze: their location and access; the quality of the infrastructure, services and amenities; leisure and recreation spaces it offers; the value and composition of the expenses and the security measures implemented; the proximity to health centers and educational institutions, in case of having school-age children.”
Among the amenities offered by each urbanization, you cannot miss a gym, swimming pool, clubhouse and other areas such as coworking and a children's play area.
“The main tips for someone interested in buying in a gated neighborhood are: do thorough research, visit different properties at different times of the day, talk to neighborhood owners to learn about their experience, and consider the long-term budget (including maintenance fees). , expenses)”, said Santiago López Gastesi , managing partner of López Gastesi Propiedades.
The homes that are most in demand must also have garages to park or store several vehicles.
Iglesias expanded: “For those with higher budgets it is vital that the houses have as many master and junior suites as there are family members. Large kitchen, service room, desk, family, home theater, comfortable living rooms, lake views, sports areas (according to the family's tastes).”
Before buying a house it is important to take into account the descriptive memory, know how it was built, with what materials, because there are many prices and qualities on the market. Who was the architect or the director of the work, verify the documentary part of the house, that the technical folder is there with the plans for plumbing, electricity, pipes, structures.
“Analyzing the construction quality is very important, so as not to suffer in the future. There are beautiful houses with very poor construction quality, and there are others with simple but very good finishes. The quality of the openings is essential given the change in climate in private neighborhoods,” Otálora advised.
When touring the house before buying, experts recommend that the interested party open taps to see if the water pressure works well in bathrooms and kitchens, for example.
It is recommended that the buyer, when touring the home, be able to open taps to see if there is good water pressure in kitchens and bathrooms, or how appliances and cooling or heating equipment work in different parts of the house.
And for the owner who sells his property in an urbanization, experts advise that everything begins with a professional appraisal based on the prices that the market is willing to pay at that time.
Comfortable and bright living rooms are sought after by demand
López Gastesi added: “The owner in a private neighborhood must make sure to keep his property in good condition, promote the amenities and quality of life of the place, and work with a real estate agent to establish a competitive price.”
In developments such as Villanueva and Puertos, prices start around USD 250,000, with a limited supply above USD 1,000,000.
Part of the demand chooses Nordelta for its great connection with water and service areas
In La Magdalena, designer houses are offered, from 100 m2 to 300 m2, with prices ranging from USD 160,000 to USD 350,000, depending on size, location, views and construction details. All with guarantee, prepared for expansions. They provide financing and consider swaps, such as vehicles or real estate.
While in Lomas de City Bell, brand new or used houses, with more than 300 m2, range between USD 400,000 and go up to USD 900,000.
“The costs of a property purchase vary depending on where the operation is carried out. In the province of Buenos Aires, the real estate agent's fees are shared, representing 1.5% to 3% of the price. The deed expenses, taxes and notary fees are generally borne by the buyer, including stamps (1.2%) and other taxes,” commented López Gastesi.
Gallery, grill and pool, three places that cannot be missing in a home in a private neighborhood
If the signature is made in CABA, the real estate fees are usually divided, the deed expenses, taxes and notary fees are paid for by the buyer. Costs may vary and are subject to current regulations, so it is advisable to consult a professional for precise details.
“In general terms, real estate purchase fees are around 4% of the price, and the deed expenses between notary fees, stamp fees and other taxes are around 3.5% and 4% of the deed price,” Iglesias concluded.
