Chances are you’re reading this because you finally decided to purchase a home. Homebuying is a crucial process and there are steps you should follow to avoid making mistakes along the way. Keep these notes handy before you hop onto your homebuying journey!

 

To help you remember them easier, bear in mind the LAPSS acronym:

 

 

 

 

Location

 

 

Choosing an accessible home is the key to achieve a convenient and hassle-free lifestyle. Imagine being stuck in traffic at broad daylight-- isn’t that too much of a stress already? So, it’s crucial to consider a unit’s location first among other things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Empire East takes pride in its projects’ close proximity to major hubs and central business districts in Metro Manila. Moreover, the company introduced the concept of Transit-Oriented Developments which is now a popular trademark of Empire East. TODs are projects that have direct or close access to various transit options like The Paddington Place which is a walking distance from the MRT-3 Shaw Boulevard Station, Empire East Highland City which is just a few minutes away from Emerald Station-- the newest station to LRT Line 2, Pioneer Woodlands which is directly connected to the Boni Station of MRT-3, and Covent Garden which has close proximity to LRT-2 in Sta. Mesa.

 

 

Amenities

Refreshing amenities are a must especially if you are a working professional who wants to unwind and take a breather after a long day’s work. Every Empire East property is equipped with fitness and recreational amenities to aid in your relaxation and enjoyment and give you the best city living experience like that of accommodation at a five-star hotel.

 

Empire East Highland City, a condo for sale in Pasig-Cainta and Empire East’s newest township development in eastern Manila, boasts its 6,700-sqm Chartered Club, a membership-only club exclusive for its residents, which showcases the homeowner’s luxurious lifestyle with its upscale and world-class amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness gym, yoga station, game room, event hall, and a cafe and lounge.

 

Price

This might be one of the things that hold us back when buying something, more so if it’s a house or a condo unit. We don’t want our hardwork to go to waste by investing in something that isn’t going to last us a long time. Knowing the base price and estimated dues are crucial if you’re planning to purchase or invest in a condo. Not only does it require an outright downpayment but also a monthly amortization which shall be completed for a number of months. On the other hand, this is better than renting if you want to have your own place in the long run. After some time, you’ll be able to reap the fruit of your religious installment and make the most out of your own home. You can even make a profit out of it in the future!

 

 

Size and layout

 

Ask yourself what unit layout suits you and your needs-- is a studio unit enough? Do you need more rooms for a family member? Do you want something that doubles as a bi-level home? Or do you need a bigger suite with a balcony? While this option still depends on the amount that you’re willing to spend, it’s the key to finding the perfect home option that fits you and your lifestyle.

 

Empire East condos vary in sizes and layout so you will not run out of options! Empire East Highland City, The Paddington Place, and Mango Tree Residences offer versatile unit sizes and layout, from a studio unit to a three-bedroom unit, all of which are available depending on your requirement.

 

 

 

 

Style and condition

Each Empire East property has a distinct style and design which stands out from the rest of the modern condos for sale in Metro Manila. Empire East Highland City goes for the green, modern, and luxurious vibe that exudes from its grand phases and posh features. The Paddington Place is a modern cosmopolitan enclave that is made for hardworking professionals who want to enjoy a work-life balance amid the noise of the thriving metropolis, while Mango Tree Residences is an urban sanctuary for those who enjoy solitude and sanctity while still being accessible to Metro Manila’s major hubs and touchpoints.

 

When all of these are already considered, you are now ready to find your ideal home! Bear these factors in mind so you won’t get lost in the process.
