🏠 PROPERTY TIP FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR DREAM HOME? 🇵🇭
Buying your first house and lot is an exciting milestone—but before choosing a property, it’s important to understand how much space you really need.
One of the first things to know is the difference between:
📐 LOT AREA – the total land you own, including the space for your house, parking, yard, and possible outdoor areas.
🏠 FLOOR AREA – the total floor space of the house, including bedrooms, living areas, kitchen, bathrooms, and other indoor spaces.
For example:
70 sqm Lot + 48 sqm Floor Area
This means you have a 70 sqm piece of land with a house that has approximately 48 sqm of floor space.
But remember…
BIGGER DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN BETTER.
The right size depends on YOU.
👫 Are you a young couple?
👨👩👧👦 Do you have a growing family?
🚗 Do you need parking space?
🌱 Do you want a garden or outdoor area?
🔨 Do you want room for future expansion?
💰 What monthly payment can you comfortably afford?
📍 Where do you want your home to be located?
Your dream home should fit not only your family today, but also your plans for tomorrow.
