When you see or hear there are items at low prices, you may be tempted to immediately have them. You then go directly to the store to buy it with great hope. But actually you don't know what is hidden behind the lure?


This event seems to apply to many things, including when going to buy cheap housing. In the midst of so many houses with a price of Rp. 500 million and above, the government offers subsidized houses that cost no more than Rp. 200 million.

Don't be easily tempted and rush to buy, Urbanites! As cheap as house prices are, the nominal money that needs to be spent is still large. Rather than regret it later, you should know the following first.

Building Quality

This low-cost subsidy house has a building area of ​​36 m² with a land area of ​​60-72 m². This measure has become the government's provision for all subsidized houses throughout Indonesia. Generally, you will find this residence equipped with two bedrooms and one bathroom.

As a buyer, you should ensure that the house to be purchased has good conditions and is built with good quality material. Check everything in details from the floor, wall, to the ceiling.

If you find damage and disability at home, use the given developer guarantee. This guarantee is valid for 100 days after the official credit agreement.

Meanwhile, for those of you who buy it indentically, be diligent in monitoring the house. If something goes wrong, you can immediately find out.

Subsidized House Facilities

Not only the physical condition of the house that you need to check, but also facilities such as water and electricity. When the house is built, the facility is usually not installed properly. To be more confident, ask the developer about this.

Some questions you might ask are about the plumbing, the presence of a septic tank, or maybe a matter of electrical power provided. Quality Do not get in the future, instead you have to take care of and manage the facility.

Location and Access to Transportation

Do not be too hopeful with the location of the establishment of this cheap house. The availability of increasingly depleted land and the high price of land is a factor, why subsidized housing is located on the outskirts of the area and far from the city center.

However, consider the best location that is not too far from the location of your office and the location of the children's school. Even though it is far away, everything can be overcome by the presence of road access and good transportation facilities.

Besides being relatively close to the city, choose a subsidized house located in a flood-free area. This is something to consider if you want to feel calm and comfortable while living there.

Developer lunge

The construction of subsidized houses was carried out massively across Indonesia. So that the number can meet the demand, the government invites various developers to do the development.

Even though the government has given confidence to the developers, it's a good idea to check their actions. Developers who have handled various projects can certainly be taken into consideration.

When doing marketing, the developer generally distributes brochures or product knowledge to the community. Do not easily believe the look of the house in the brochure.

Better visit and see firsthand the location of the housing where the subsidized house is located. If the developer has a sample home and allows you to see it, use this opportunity as an initial survey.

Only for First House

The first thing you need to know about this subsidy house is its special designation, only for low-income people (MBR) and have never owned a house at all. So, for those of you who previously had a home, they are not allowed to buy it.
