And that is how we programmatically narrowed our search to where to look for a suitable apartment. But please don't rule out the inituition factor here, since it easily saved us close to 60 man-days of effort. Here goes how...
On the last Sunday of a hot April month, at 2:00 PM we set out on our thunderbird to search for the apartment that could be purchased within our budget. Every apartment built will be sold; there is no doubt about that. The issue is whether or not you are buying it. We were very disheartened to see the apartments that fit our budget. They were poorly designed, no amenities other that car park and lift, sad quality of construction. The ones that were decent over shot our budget by 5 lacs in some cases and in other the promise of delivery would be somewhere in 2012. You never know, the world might end by then. Also in due course of these 2 hours we realized that we might as well be buying a brick and stones structure in the air, but to live in it happily we did need certain amenities like a gated community, gym etc. Maybe we had to extend our budget or maybe we had to delay purchasing the apartment. With this thought in mind we headed back home. On the way from Bachupally to Nizampet we saw gated community called “Prime Meadows” with villas and flats for sale. It looked very nice from the outside. I wanted to stop and have a look at the flats available for sale. Guns drove ahead saying “It will not fit our budget, we have wasted enough time”. I agreed and we drove about 100 mts ahead, when this inituition of mine kicked in.I asked Guns to stop and turn back. “Let us just have a look; one more apartment will do no harm”. He agreed. Again, all the 2BHKs in Prime Meadows were completely booked first and it so happened that the gentleman who booked 103 liked the 3BHK better and went ahead to buy it leaving this the only unsold 2BHK. Call it luck or coincidence we were offered to take a look.So by 6:00 PM on the last Sunday of a hot April month we knew we would be buying this apartment.
