Buying off-the-plan: Inclusions that add value

We all have a feature of our home we couldn’t live with out. Maybe it’s air conditioning in the bedroom, high speed internet or enough space for our furry friends to run around.

The idea of inclusions is they add lifestyle value, and in doing so, add financial value too.

Spend money where it matters to get a good return on your investment. Here are Mosaic’s top apartment inclusions:

Quality fixtures and fittings: A stone bench top might once have been a luxury, but it now features high on the list of many property buyers and renters. Feature splashbacks, island benches and superior appliances such as an integrated dishwasher will appeal to a discerning market.

Air conditioning: Queensland’s climate makes it difficult to live without some form of cooling. Split system air-conditioning and/or fans should be adequate to service all bedrooms and living areas. An apartment design which maximises cross ventilation will reduce reliance on artificial cooling.

Lighting: Low voltage, energy efficient LED lighting throughout living areas and feature lighting in key spaces like the kitchen will create a light and bright space.

Floor coverings: High quality cut pile carpet to the bedrooms and timber or tiled flooring to living areas will maximise comfort and ease of maintenance.

Broadband/NBN: Provision for free to air digital television, pay TV and high speed internet is important given our increasing reliance on technology.

Pets: Last but not least, clever use of integrated indoor and outdoor living spaces will provide plenty of room for pets to stretch their legs.
