4 Factors to Consider Before Choosing Between Single and Double Storey House

A decision on whether to build a single or double-storey house for a home can be reached after close consideration of many factors.

Each of the houses has advantages and disadvantages and it will remain an individual’s decision to make depending on his/her preferences.

Aside from looking at the advantages and disadvantages, here are other factors you need to consider before reaching a decision to build a single or double-storey house that you intend to call home;

If you just married or plan to and you’re looking forward to having children, a double-storey building will be ideal. However, if you’re moving towards sunset, with children moving out to be on their own, single-storey should be the best option for you.

Land Size

For a person with a dream to build a home in an urban area, double-storey would likely be an option – it is rare to get a big land/plot in a major urban area.

But if you are building a house in a rural area where land is in abundance, you won’t have a challenge in space even if you go for a single-storey.

Layout

What is the best house layout for a family? Single-storey buildings usually have open living designs while a double-storey home provides more private and zoning options.

Cost

Single-storey buildings are cheaper – compared to double-storey buildings. However, a double-storey house will use less space, meaning you can buy a small piece of land/plot and still have a home, unlike a single-storey house that will use a large piece of land.

The bottom line here is that - always consider what is important when picking a single or double-storey home – are you looking for a bigger garden, more living space, grand-looking home or an open-design house?

Also, consider your budget and the size of the land.

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

They say property has no gender, but history shows a different reality, where property ownership has favoured men. This inequality is still evident, especially when it comes to inheritance after the death of a spouse. Even though Kenya’s 2010 Constitution guarantees equal rights for men and women, many women still struggle to secure their rights to property. So, how can women make sure their rights are respected after marriage? Baoriat Agencies explains six key ways to ensure fair property distribution in case of death or separation. 1. Registering Jointly Owned Property When a couple buys property together, it’s important to register it under both names. This guarantees that the other automatically inherits the property if one partner dies. Make sure both names are clearly listed on the title deed as co-owners. 2. Joint Tenancy or Tenancy-in-Common There are two ways to share property: Joint tenancy : If one partner dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner. Tena...
