Location is one of the important considerations when buying a property. It is a crucial factor that determines the value of a property. A good location is characterised by the availability of social infrastructural facilities like top-rated schools, reputed hospitals, etc., connectivity to arterial roads and transport links, upcoming infrastructural developments and proximity to commercial hubs.
