What to ask when viewing a new-build apartment: a checklist

A practical list of questions to ask when viewing a new-build apartment, so you arrive prepared and leave confident rather than empty-handed.

What to ask when viewing a new-build apartment: a checklist

A viewing is the moment a project on paper turns into a decision. When you know what to ask, the conversation gets easier and the choice gets clearer. Good questions save you time and doubt later.

Here is a practical list of what is worth checking when you view a new-build apartment, arranged so you arrive prepared.

Should I ask about construction and materials first?

Yes, the quality of the building is the foundation for everything else. Ask what the walls are built from, how the facade insulation is handled, and what kind of joinery and heating the apartment has.

At Silva Boutique the walls are Porotherm ceramic blocks, the facade is insulated, and the apartments have underfloor heating and quality joinery. These are the things you notice least at first glance, yet they shape your comfort for years to come.

What does BDS finish mean and what does it include?

BDS finish means the apartment is handed over at a stage from which the buyer completes the final surfaces to their own taste. So at a viewing it matters to ask what exactly is included and what is left for you.

Ask the team to show you the project specification. When you know precisely what you receive, you can plan the budget for finishing and furnishing without surprises.

Floor, orientation, or layout — which should I weigh?

All three, together. Orientation sets the daylight, the floor affects the view and sense of privacy, and the layout decides whether the space fits the way you live.

Silva Boutique is a boutique building of four floors with seven apartments, so the options are limited but carefully considered. At a viewing, ask what is currently available and which layouts suit your needs.

Is there parking, garages, and access control?

These questions are often skipped, yet they matter a great deal day to day. Ask about parking spaces and garages, and how access control to the building is handled.

Selected apartments at Silva Boutique also come with private yards. It is worth asking which apartments have them and how they fit into the overall project.

When will the building be ready and how does buying work?

The completion timeline and the steps of the purchase should be clear from the start. Ask when completion is planned and what the next steps are if you decide to reserve an apartment.

Silva Boutique is under construction, with completion in autumn 2027. Prices are in EUR without VAT. At a viewing the team will walk you through the process calmly and without pressure.

Ready to see Silva Boutique?

Because the building is under construction, a viewing means looking through the plans, the materials specification, and the location, and discussing availability with the team. It is the fastest way to feel whether this home is right for you.

Silva Boutique is at 4 Zografska Istoria Street in Boyana, a short step from Vitosha. Book a viewing on +359 88 8070797 — we would be glad to tell you more and answer every question on your list.
