subject: The Advantage Of The Simple House [print this page] There have been a number of types of residential philippines properties for sale which became popular for many Filipinos. Such types are townhouses and condominiums. Townhouses became popular because of its luxurious living space while condominiums of today became popular because of its affordability as well as its capability to deliver the same luxury that townhouse complexes are known for.
Although these types of residential philippines properties has become very popular for many Filipinos, particularly because of its unique advantages as well as benefits, many Filipinos are still opting to buying a typical house that we all have grown to have. Many of those that chose to live in a condominium would eventually move to live in a house particularly because of their growing needs. So what are the advantage of living in a normal house rather than in a townhouse or a condominium?
More freedom
The advantage of owning a condominium or a townhouse compared to houses is because of its luxury. Although there are houses built for luxury, these types are usually known as mansions, which are more expensive that buying a condominium or a townhouse. For almost half the price of a mansion, a Filipino could easily enjoy the same luxury of living in a mansion with condominiums and townhouses. Another advantage is that compared to apartments, residents own their unit.
There are, however, several disadvantages to buying these types of philippines properties. One of which is that even though residents own their unit, their rights could only go as far as to protect them from eviction. The right to modify the exterior and the interior of their units are usually not allowed. In condominiums, before doing any modification in the interior, such as adding another room in the unit, residents are required to pass a request for modification. This will then be studied by their engineers of these modifications wouldn't compromise the structure of their condominium.
Owning a house, however, not only protects its residents from eviction but also gives them the right to modify their house as they please. This, however, maybe subject to government, homeowner association, and deed restrictions.
More family oriented
Compared to owning a condominium or a townhouse, houses are more family-oriented. Although townhouses and a few condominium may be able to accommodate a number of residents, houses are still the ones known for its capability to accommodate a number of residents. Apart from the family, some Filipinos have also come to accommodate their extended family which is a feat not appropriate for townhouses and more particularly with condominiums.
