Buying | Buying Property in Mauritius: Apartments vs Houses

However, you may find it difficult to decide between purchasing an apartment and a house. In this article, we’ll delve into a few factors to take into consideration to help you choose between the two.

Maintenance

Houses typically require more maintenance than apartments do, especially if the house has a large garden and/or pool. If you are a busy person and don’t intend on spending a lot of money and time on home maintenance, then an apartment may be a better choice for you.

Pets

Most apartment blocks in Mauritius do not allow dogs, with a few allowing small animals like cats and birds. If you are an animal lover looking for a pet-friendly home in Mauritius, a house may suit you better than an apartment.

Budget

The cost of a property depends on a wide variety of factors, such as location, number of bedrooms, etc. However, it is usually safe to assume that houses cost more than apartments per square foot, so this is something that you should take into consideration.

Views

The higher you are, the better the view. If you want to wake up to incredible views of the island, you may want to consider purchasing an apartment on the fourth or fifth floor instead of a one-story house. With that being said, there are many beachside houses that offer amazing views.

Renovations

If you’re looking to customise your home to meet your specific design tastes, then a house may be the better option. It can be very difficult to do major renovations in an apartment block, as the noise is disturbing to your neighbours who are in close proximity to you.
