What kind of flats are clients looking for?

Finding a place of your own is quite a challenge. After all, everyone wants to live in their dream flat, with an ideal room layout tailored to their individual needs and enough floor space to be comfortable even for a large family. Estate agency clients have varied preferences in this respect. Still, some trends are clearly more popular than others among people looking to buy their own property. Which flats are attracting the most interest at the moment? That is what today's article is about.

Studio flats are most popular with young people

A studio flat is widely seen as the ideal home for a student or a young working person. And indeed, this type of property is usually chosen by students or graduates. Sometimes parents buy a studio for their children who are just about to start university. One-room flats are also an excellent solution for people with limited borrowing capacity, because they are the cheapest. By buying one, we can get onto the property ladder fastest. The drawback of this type of property, however, is that it is not very future-proof. When we dream of settling down with a partner or expanding the family, a studio will certainly become too cramped and we will have to look for a larger place.

Two-room flats for couples

That is why most people who are serious about buying their own flat, and who already know that they want to start a family, even if only hypothetically, usually choose two-room flats. They are typically bought by young couples who want to start their life together. A two-room flat (M2) is an ideal space for two people, and it will also be sufficient when a child arrives. One of the rooms can then be rearranged into a space for the new family member.

Two-room flats vary greatly in size. On the property market you will find both 30 sq m listings and ones whose floor area exceeds 50 sq m. The price naturally changes along with the size. Many people who already have a concrete plan for starting a family often decide straight away to buy an M2. Many of the listings, especially on the secondary market, are close in price to the cost of buying a studio. This makes buying a two-room flat even more advantageous.

Three-room and larger flats for families with children

Three-room and larger flats are of interest above all to families with children. It cannot be denied that the more people live in a home, the more living space we need. The best situation is one in which everyone has their own personal space in the form of their own room. This is not always possible, however. When we have more than one child, buying a flat with at least three rooms is practically a necessity. When we want to, and can afford to, give each child their own room, while we dream of a separate bedroom and a separate living room, it is best to invest in a four- or five-room property. Flats this large are currently offered by both new developments and old, stylish tenement buildings.

Currently, studios and two-room flats attract the most interest on the property market. Demand falls as the number of rooms rises. This is because there are far fewer large families than singles, couples, or people with one or two children. Moreover, it cannot be denied that larger floor space also means higher prices. Not everyone can therefore afford to buy so much space.
