Overseas Filipino families, particularly those with young children headed to universities, and young urban professionals or ‘yuppies’ are among the top buyers for condos in the Philippines.
This is why many of them now have particular checklists, whether literal or figurative, as they already have an idea of what they’re looking for in a property. Many of whom will soon be selecting from several developers that will be present at the upcoming Philippine Property and Investment Exhibition (PPIE), the biggest, longest running and most trusted Philippine business and investment forum in the Middle East. Now on its eighth edition, PPIE will be held this coming April 10-11, 2020 at Crowne Plaza – Sheikh Zayed Road.

Here’s a quick glimpse of the checklist that you can keep in mind when you decide to invest in a condo:
Location. Location. Location. This tried-and-tested acumen isn’t just applicable for businesses any longer as it now applies for homes. After all, who would want to live in an area that’s far away from hospitals, schools, or even a convenience store?
Road Accessibility. Another prime condition that condo seekers should think about is its proximity to highways and service roads. Nothing beats having to drive or commute just a few minutes to and from your workplace, and of course you’d definitely wish to avoid heavy traffic along the way.
Basic amenities. With so many condos to choose from, you should always ensure that they have at least several ‘basic’ amenities that will make your condo-living more luxurious. These include an in-house gym, a swimming pool, a parking space, fire alarms and CCTVs on common areas, and others.
24/7 security. While CCTVs and other forms of alarms do add to the feeling of safety and security, nothing beats having an actual security guard or two that’s roaming around the vicinity to ensure that no illegal trespassers or unwanted activity take place near your home.
