Virtual Tour
Normally, we would plan a time to go & explore your favourite apartments once your list is shortlisted. The virtual tour of apartments is quite similar in approach. Once you find a property that you need to see, the sales officer will schedule a time to do a walkthrough/video tour of the apartment. The virtual tour can either be live over FaceTime or recorded for you to watch later. Preferably blocking the virtual tour time along with your sales officer is the best option so that you can see the apartment property live. As this lets you pose inquiries & can allow you to point out areas you are keen on seeing a greater amount of.
Conduct Purchasing Process Online
After conducting a video tour, you are confident that you have found the perfect home. Then you can start your purchase through the purchase contract & find chances for the available offers. When the real estate builder has reached terms that you feel worthy of & are confident will result in final purchase. That is right from enlisting an offer to signing a purchase contract such an ample home purchasing procedure can easily be done online via email & any other online platform.
Home Inspection
From a purchaser’s angle, even if you are virtually doing most of the home buying process, it is essential to schedule a professional home visit adhering to all COVID-19 protocols.

Apartment Living: Do's And Don’ts
Certainly, there are numerous perks to living in an apartment. When compared to other housing alternatives, apartment living is the safest and most convenient. But, in order to make it effective, we must consider many factors. The Do's & Don'ts listed below can help you make the most of the amenities available to you and to build a happy life in your dream apartment.DO’S:1. Be ResourcefulAn apartment is a concept that gives you your space while also allowing you to share common facilities with the other inhabitants. As a result, it is your responsibility to ensure that you’re resource-conscious. Use the resources associated with them judiciously while washing the car, watering the plants, using electricity in common areas, or hosting a clubhouse party.2. Make Your Place Feel like A HomeTreat your place as if it were your own. You may customize it in a variety of ways to make it appear & feel like your own. Incorporate your individuality & select a hue that you’re comfortable with. It's enough to start by exhibiting your collection, decor, planting some greenery, showing some beautiful old images you enjoy, & creating a comfortable place that will relax you from within. As a result, it is advisable to adorn each & every nook with everything that makes you feel at ease at home.3. Utilize the Available FacilitiesWe' aware of all of the great facilities in our apartment, but actually using them is another matter. The early difficulties of forming a new habit may have little to do with accessibility. In your apartment, you could find an air-conditioned fitness club, a swimming pool, or a children's play area with equipment, as well as a slew of other modern conveniences. When you already have all of them, it isn't a good idea to leave them away without considering the benefits. Begin by going to the pool after work for twenty minutes or spending time at the park with your children in the evening.4. Maintaining a Regular Cleaning ScheduleDon't put off cleaning until your home is completely covered with dust & trash. Make it a practice to clean every day before bed. Every day, spend at least 15 minutes cleaning the floor & dusting tabletops & other surfaces. Allowing dirty dishes to accumulate in your residence is not a good idea. To avoid pest infestation, wash them as soon as possible. If you keep your apartment clean & quite well maintained, it will infuse positivity into your life as well as make you feel happier in your abode.DON’TS:1. Don’t Be a Bad NeighbourAn apartment is a shared living space. If you would like to be treated well, always be a nice man. If you really want your neighbours to treat you well, you should treat them well. Simply be a nice neighbour & know where to draw the line in your neighbour's best interest. Avoid loud music, don't have overnight parties that might produce unpleasant noise, don't get into minor conflicts that cause general problems, & constantly be aware of your garbage & other items. It's the tiny things that, if they go ignored, may quickly pile into an uncomfortable scenario.2. Don't Put Off Reporting Maintenance ProblemsThe longer you wait to address problems with your power, heating, cooling, pests, & water, the worse they will get. It is always preferable to report issues as soon as they occur. Be it a tiny leak that can be repaired without causing harm to your floor or creaks from your ceiling, If minor concerns are not addressed promptly, they’re likely to escalate into larger issues, & it won't be long before this causes problems closer to home. As a result, even if there's a maintenance issue or anything that doesn't belong in your living environment, take immediate action.3. Don't Leave the Complex LitteredWhen we live in a community, we have some restrictions on our freedom. Because you'll be utilizing these amenities daily, avoid cluttering the apartment complex, particularly the walks, elevators, parking lots, and amenity areas. And, of course, no one likes to begin their day by visiting a littered location. Though your apartment & its complex are undoubtedly important aspects of your regular life, there are some areas of the apartment building that are shared. As a result, make sure you live on your own terms while remaining aware of your limitations.Living in an apartment is a beautiful experience with its own uniqueness. You can also make your experience in the apartment complex the best if you begin living as a tenant with care and consideration for others in the neighbourhood. In a home where you'll spend the rest of your life, make sure you establish an atmosphere of safety, love, & caring. Now you know the fundamental apartment "Do's and Don'ts." However, you must first choose the proper builder to ensure your perfect comfort and happiness in your ever-dreamed apartment. Varma Homes, the most trustworthy apartment builder in Kerala, has created luxury apartments that are built for the occupants' entire comfort and happiness. Being, the top builder in Kerala, we provide you with a modern lifestyle of luxury, convenience, & pleasant living with the most sophisticated facilities as well as eco-friendly elements.

They include a provision for CCTV cameras, alarms, security guards, video surveillance systems & monitoring at all times of the day & other hi-tech security measures, which means residents are more protected than living in an independent house. · Better Returns When contrasted with a conventional home, a villa or apartment in a township project will offer better returns in terms of investment perspective.

Building your dream home: Working with reputed builders !
Building your new home is an exciting and at times overwhelming experience, but for your builder it is very routine, which is why you need to be an active participant in all aspects of the home building process to ensure you end up with your dream home. Varma Homes are the top builders in Kochi, Kerala for flats & apartments, and we assure you the best end results. Building your new home cannot be a passive exercise, because there are so many decisions that must be made by you. If you are unable or unwilling to make these decisions, you will force your builder to make them and run the risk that your new home won't turn out the way you envisioned it or cost what you thought. Varma Homes envision to have a clarity in our thought processes which would eventually pave way to build quality homes delivered on time. Here are few things you must know and take into consideration when building your new home: 1. Do a little research to find out the best reputed builders Do your research when it comes to choosing a builder. How long have they been in the business? What is their reputation? Can you see examples of their work? Is there anyone who has used them before that you can speak to? Don't be afraid to meet with multiple builders to discuss your plans. Many builders are out there, but not all are created equal. Whether you search for information online or get recommendations from your family and friends, find out whether a builder is respected for doing quality work as well as being punctual. The building process isn’t short, so make sure you are happy with your team — we, the best builders in Cochin are ready to help you with it. This requires doing a little To start the building process right, you’ll want to do the following: • Conduct extensive online research to make sure you’re using a reputable builder • Get referrals from friends and family • Look at examples of the builder’s current work Varma Homes are the best home builders and property builders in Cochin offering new luxury flats, apartments and residential projects in Kochi, Thrissur, Trivandrum, Kerala. 2. Ask questions (and more questions) You need to understand the parameters of what the builder is doing for you. And you get that information by asking questions. Make sure the builder can execute what you want, because not all builders can accommodate custom designs. One of the first things you should do before meeting with your team for the first time is to identify what you don’t know, and then eliminate that doubt. If this is your first time building, there are probably going to be a lot of things you don’t know, and that’s fine. There are no dumb questions. Here are a few starter questions: • What exactly are you paying for? • Do you need full architecture/design/build services, or do you just want a blueprint? • How much time should you allow? 3. Determine your budget Before you start building your new home, run some numbers to determine whether you can afford to build the home you want. Know well the present scenario and make maximum utilization of the incentives provided by the government. Make sure you have a significant amount of money set aside for things you think of throughout the process that you want to buy yourself and have the builder install. Also, don't forget to budget for new furniture if needed for the whole house. 4. Find suitable land Make sure you can find affordable land prior to getting caught up in finding a builder and designing a house. No matter why you're purchasing a piece of property, nothing is more important than location. If you're making an investment, don't buy land with no resale value. If you're aiming on starting up a business, don't buy land completely isolated from potential customers. And if you're looking to build a house, don't buy land you can't build on.
