In a recent survey, when queried about the top 3 features that homebuyers look for while buying a residential apartment in Bangalore, the hot favourites were budget, location and developer. The survey may show that the size of the flat may be pushed to the back-burner but then why is Bangalore witnessing an increasing demand for 2BHK flats in Electronic City? To know that, first let’s look at the pros and cons of purchasing a 1 or 3BHK.

About 3BHK’s

While they are great for large families owing to the space, they have their cons. Firstly, they are tough to sell or rent out. The return on investment is low when compared to a 2BHK. While a 3BHK may cost 40-50% more than a 2BHK the rent differential is just about 20-25%. Additionally, the maintenance charges are high.

1BHK’s or studio apartments

They are relatively affordable when it comes to cost. They are easy to maintain. Also, they are a good option if you don’t want to pay much rent. The major con though is these units are most suitable for bachelors or newly-married couples. Also, there is a huge demand-supply gap in most metros. Judging by the above factors, many people seem to find 2BHK Units as a good option. Also, a report conducted by NoBroker.com says that a whopping 48% are seeking to buy a 2BHK which is a significant jump from the past year’s statistics.  But the other reasons behind this increased demand.
