Apart from that, some other point that may also help you decide your BHK configuration is the budget. For example, let's say your budget for your dream home is Rs 60 lakhs. Then several questions can come into your mind "should I buy a large-size 3 BHK home in this budget towards the outskirts of the city or should I pick for a small-size 2 BHK within the city where prices are higher? Should I go for a Grade "A" builder and buy 2 BHK or should I buy a 3BHK by a Grade "B" builder whose property would be costing less.

Right Rajat.....
These are just some of the points that need to be considered while selecting your preferred BHK configuration. It is advisable that you understand your requirements, budget and then try to stick to it.

Thanks Roshini,
Similarly, we have advantage and disadvantages on 2 and 3BHK. And due to high demand of 2BHK, builders give discount on it. Am i right?

You are absolutely right Puneet......
You have better idea than me. Yes, it is ideal for first time buyers and comfortable for couples and nuclear families, easy on maintenance, good value appreciation compared to other configurations like 1 and 3BHK, and most importantly, easy to sell and rent out as demand is high.

Disadvantages of 2BHK:- Normally, it doesn’t have sufficient space for a growing family due to high demand, if not booked early then you may not get the unit of your preference, limited scope for carving out additional spaces, if required.

Hi Puneet,
The first thing you should consider while making a choice for buying a 1/2/3BHK apartment is to know your requirements. Ask yourself simple questions like "why am I buying this apartment?", "Is it for my own use or renting out?", "how many family members will stay in the house?" or "what is the space I will need in my house for now and future?" and so on.

Well Puneet.....
Advantages of 1BHK:- small in size and comfortable, affordable, easy maintenance due to smaller space.easier to rent it out, when compared to a 3 or 4BHK, loading factor per unit is relatively low etc.

Disadvantages of 1BHK:- it is ideal mostly for bachelors or couples and demand and supply gap in most metros other than Mumbai.

Good morning Dev,
There are many factors to consider while buying a property such as your present requirements, property prices, locality and future preferences and most importantly, it should be fitted i your budget. As such, it may be quite confusing to choose between a 1, 2 or a 3BHK apartment. As a first time home-buyer, it may not always be easy to choose the right apartment configuration.
