House typology: which is best for you?

Buying a house is a real life goal for many people. However, this process involves several decisions. One of them is about which typology to choose and which is in line with your needs or desires.
In this article we’ll give you some tips on how to find the right one.

Young singles or couples without children
Living alone or as a couple can mean starting your adult life in a studio or one-bedroom apartment. With less expensive prices, houses of this type are also easier to maintain and are usually well located and close to work and social life.

Couples with young kids
The arrival of children requires more space. Two or three-bedroom houses allow you to have an extra room for the children and/or even for playing or working. Whether it’s a villa or flat, choosing a 2 or 3 bedroom house allows you to have larger areas, but without sacrificing comfort and functionality.

Families with teenage children
As children grow up, privacy can be a factor. In these cases, T3 and T4 apartments ensure that each member of the family has their own space. As well as the possibility of having one bedroom per person, these types also have larger common areas. In other words, there’s more space to spend with family and friends.

Middle-aged couples with children leaving home
When their children leave home, many families return to the market in search of a smaller home. As a rule, many choose two- or three-bedroom properties, so they have at least one more room available.

Seniors and retired people
In old age, comfort, functionality and accessibility become priorities. Some people prefer to stay in the house they bought after their children left home, or choose a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartment.
Other important decision factors are the upkeep of the house and choosing a location closer to essential services.
