Should you buy an apartment with all amenities or a flat without it?

For the buyers of properties this question often arises whether they should buy an apartment with all added amenities or a flat without it. This is a decision that all buyers have to make. Should they pay extra money and get an apartment with all added amenities or go without all amenities and settle for a basic flat with basic amenities. Well, there are pros and cons for each option you choose. We have discussed those below.
The multistoried buildings coming up nowadays have all added amenities like RO water system, Wi-Fi, water storage facility, power back-up system, elevator, maintenance staff, car parking area, club house, gymnasium, piped gas, banquet hall, intercom facility and others. In normal circumstance the builders charge extra for such amenities and facilities. For example a 2 BHK apartment with a super built up area of 1200 sq. ft. will be available at a price of Rs. 48 lakhs. However if facilities like single car parking, electricity charge per unit is added to it the price including VAT can go to Rs. 57 lakhs. In addition to that, the occupant of the flat has to pay at the rate of Rs. 3 to Rs. 5 per sq. ft. for maintenance charges. 

It is observed that amenities like the gymnasium, pool, club house or the banquet hall are not regularly used by the occupants but are charged for their entire life. For most of the residents of such apartments all the facilities are not used by all the occupants but they are charged for all the amenities for a lifetime. This has been the experience of many.
Others opine that it is always good to have all amenities under one roof and not be bothered for any problems as all the facilities can be availed in the complex itself without waiting for any services to be hired from outside. For instance the residents of such apartments do not have to wait for in finding out an electrician if there is a power failure as every facility is there and can be availed at a phone call. Some of the residents opine that it gives an easy lifestyle without worrying about anything. The gym is there for a physical workout with the children’s play area for the kids to play around without monitoring and they feel although they end up paying more but they get to avail a better lifestyle.
But in case of flats with basic amenities the residents claim that they do not have to pay any maintenance charges extra but in case there is a power failure or the pump has to be repaired they have to pay extra. The only maintenance charge that they have to bear is the electricity and the water bills. 
 After all this issue is totally up to the buyer and the lifestyle he or she is used to. If one can bear the hassles which are minimum in case of a flat with basic amenities, one can go for it. If one feels that one would opt for an apartment with all amenities to get rid of all worries whatsoever, one can settle for an apartment with extra facilities by paying extra.
