How to Choose the Right Apartment: 6 Key Questions Before Buying

1. Location – city center or quiet street?

Location is often the first factor buyers consider. Central areas offer immediate access to public transport, workplaces, schools, healthcare, and cultural life. However, the noise, limited green spaces, and heavy traffic can impact your daily well-being.

Pirotska Residence strikes a perfect balance—situated in the very heart of Sofia, yet on a quiet street with immediate access to Opalchenska metro station, Vuzrazhdane Park, schools, and kindergartens. You get convenience without sacrificing peace and quiet.

2. New or old construction?

Older buildings may offer larger layouts and established neighborhoods, but they often come with aging infrastructure, higher maintenance costs, and limited energy efficiency.

New developments offer modern building standards: superior insulation, contemporary installations, elevators, underground parking, and smart access systems. You also have the opportunity to influence the interior during construction.

Pirotska Residence is a premium example of thoughtful new construction, built with long-term quality and user comfort in mind.

3. Home or investment?

If you’re buying to live in the property, personal needs and comfort take priority. If you’re buying as an investment, you’ll need to think in terms of return—rental demand, yield, and long-term value.

With its central location and modern appeal, Pirotska Residence is well-suited for both purposes. A new property in a prime area holds high liquidity and is attractive to both renters and future buyers.

4. What are the payment options?

Some developers require the full amount upfront, which is a barrier for many buyers. Others offer flexible payment plans—reservation fees, phased payments, or milestone-based financing.

Pirotska Residence offers an accessible model, starting with a stop-deposit to reserve the selected apartment. The remaining payments are structured across construction phases and are also aligned with the client's preferences, allowing for easier financial planning.

5. How can you assess construction quality?

This is a crucial question that often gets overlooked. The building you choose should be structurally sound, energy efficient, and built to modern standards.

Pirotska Residence is being developed by Unistroy, a trusted construction company with over 20 years of experience, 100,000+ sqm of completed projects, and multiple awards, including “Builder of the Year 2024.” The company operates its own concrete plant, ensures stringent quality control at each stage, and uses high-grade materials. The building meets all criteria for durability and contemporary living.

6. How will you feel in this home five years from now?

Imagine your everyday life in the apartment: how the light enters, what you see from your window, how easily you get to work, where you unwind. This question connects emotional intuition with rational decision-making.

Natural light, orientation, clean air, access to greenery, and a sense of community—all of these influence long-term satisfaction. Choose a place where you can see yourself not just owning a property, but truly living in a home.
