Brokers Recommendation
Looking for that prefect real estate in Bacolod city? Before browsing this website and the internet let me give you some tips to guide your house hunting here in Bacolod.
In looking for a home in Bacolod a buyer should not base his decision on price alone or look for the cheapest property he could find, or base your decision base on the design of the house that you like, the but the buyer should look for the best value for his money.
Best value for the money means buying a property that serves your purpose, for example if you want to buy a house that's really cheap you can buy a house in a slum area, but you well not be safe their and not a good place to raise children. Buying a house in a residential subdivision well cost a little more but you well have security and better neighborhood. Between the house in a slum area and a subdivision house, the slum area house is cheaper, but the house in a subdivision has better value for your money.
In buying a house and lot in a subdivision you should look for the best value for your money, there are plenty of residential subdivision here in Bacolod, and they are not the same. In looking for a home were you want to raise your family. you should look for this qualities in a subd.
Security - I strongly advice buyers never to buy in a non secured subd. you should check if the subd. has security, is it 24 hrs, does it have a security at the entrance and roving security. Does it have a perimeter fence. Here in Bacolod and the whole Philippines if your home is located in a subd. with no security it is not advisable to leave your home as it well be ransacked by thieves. Now if you have a home located in a non secured subd. in order to secure it you have to put a high fence with barbwire on top which turns your beautiful house into a prison. Another way of securing it also is to have always some body staying at the house which means you cannot live your house alone if there's nobody staying. Not to mention that your children and you well be living in there too. Security in a subd. is the first thing that a home buyer should ask before buying a home.
Professional Property management - it means a professional company is managing the subdivision maintenance. Subdivisions need to be maintain to keep it beautiful, maintenance includes keeping and paying security guards, garbage disposal, street sweeping, grass cutting, landscaping and club house maintenance.
Why is property maintenance every important, if you live the subdivision maintenance to the home owners what happened usually is that home owners quarrel, or sometimes steals the monthly fees that you pay. Most subdivision that are manage by home owners usually have very poor property maintenance and don't have professional security as homeowners association are having a hard time collecting monthly dues from members.
Don't be fooled when you see a security guard when you visit the subdivision when the developer is selling it, usually the developer is paying the guards at the moment but once the property is sold out, security and maintenance of the subdivision well be given to the home owners, that's when the problem begins to start when home owners refuse to pay their monthly dues, then you wont be able to pay for security guards and your subdivision begins to deteriorate grass begins to grow tall, and the once nice subdivision is no longer nice.
When you buy a home you are also investing, you would want that the subdivision well still look nice 20 years after you bought your house, because that means your property well have a high value.
The only way to have that is when there is a professional property management handling the maintenance of your subdivision, this company's has by laws which well in force rules and regulations for the home owners, once a home owners buys a property manage by them the buyers are to sign the rules and restriction of the community and they well also be the one to in force the rules. I strongly suggest when buying a home or a lot, you should ask the developer or your broker if the subdivision has a professional property maintenance.
Here in Bacolod there are only two developer that has professional property maintenance, and their subdivision are well maintain with 24 hrs. security clean and landscape. It's Camella homes Bacolod and Ayala north point. This two developers are also the biggest in the country, they have plenty of experience developing communities.
Between the two I would suggest Camella Homes Bacolod considering, it has 24 hrs security, professional property maintenance, having its own treated water supply, complete facilities with club house and swimming pool. it is also very accessible as it is just 5 minutes drive to Robinson's mall, near schools and hospitals and near airport. Camella Homes Also has very easy financing. Camella Homes Bacolod is 80% sold out in only 3 years compared to other subd. that took more than 10 years to sell. It shows how well it is receive by the market.
Other things to consider when buying a property is the distance of the subdivision to the places that you ussually go to, which is malls, restaurant, grocery stores, airport, schools, hospital and accessibility to public transport (jeepneys),again Camella Homes wins in this area, it is just 5 minutes away from Robinson's mall, near schools and Hospitals, right now the most accessible subdivision being sold here in Bacolod is Camella homes.
