The monsoon season may not appear to be the best
time to go house hunting. No one likes to drive around in pouring rain, not to
mention infuriating traffic jams. Besides the heavy rain, most people avoid
buying anything for two – three weeks during monsoon, as they believe it
inauspicious because of the ceremonies of shraadh or pitrapaksh. Due to this,
most developers are ready to give their unsold inventory on discount during
this time. They sometimes also refer it as Monsoon Discount. Searching for house
during monsoon season also helps you judge the situation of the locality you
willing to live in as during this season, roads get water logged and other
basic infrastructure is tested to its extreme conditions. Heavy traffic during
this season also help you take a decision of short listing a locality and
purchase the property. Looking for a house during monsoon saves you a lot of
trouble as you know what you’ll be dealing with during the next monsoon.
In case of fully constructed properties,
examining the house during monsoon will give the customer fair idea about its
construction quality and other issues that may happen during this season. You
can easily spot signs of dampness or leakage, and evade buying an
ill-constructed house. Structural soundness of a building is an vital factor,
as you may end up spending a huge amount on repairs if the house turns out to
have water seeping troubles. Looking for such problems during the monsoon is
important because these impact the life of the property as well as its resale
value.
