Top 5 Things To Remember During Sample Flat VisitsPosted by Heather Homes on February 19th, 2021 Builders and developers often prepare a sample flat or mock-up apartment prior to construction of the project or during the process to show the customers what the unit will look like once completed. But, buyers should be aware that the mock-up will not always be a factual representation of the flat that they are hoping to receive. Here are the top 5 things to consider while visiting sample flats. 1. Thinner walls Walls of mock-up apartments are often made with lighter materials and not bricks as they are only used for representational purpose. These thinner walls can create an illusion of the flat being more spacious and the buyer should not fall prey to this believing that the actual flat will be much more spacious than the prescribed dimension. 2. Carpet area Mostly, the total area that is advertised is the attractive figure of super built-up area which includes the entire space covering pillars and stairs and not the useable carpet area where the traffic inside a home is higher. The customer should ensure that the dimension of sample flat is accurate. 3. Designer furniture The furniture in a sample flat is mostly high-end designer furniture to attract the customers. It should be clarified whether the completed flat will come with the same type of furniture, so as not to have unrealistic expectations during the time of delivery. Like it?
