1 BHK, 2 BHK, 3 BHK, 4 BHK Penthouse and the list goes on, the more the variety and the more is the confusion. And even if we have it all figured out, another confusion starts, what should be the feature that one should look for in a flat that they are going to look for.
But let’s hold for a moment, what is BHK Exactly – and hence what does it really mean for these BHKs and other forms of flats. Let’s try to help you out a bit by explaining the types in a bit detail, but here is a promise, this is going to be for a lifetime and you will never be wondering with these terms used and explained:
BHK Explained –
Bedroom, Hall and Kitchen. The first letter of each comprises and makes the BHK.
Why is it used – simply because it denotes the number of rooms that are present in the flat for your consumption? E.G. 3 BHK Means that the flat/property consists of 3 Bedrooms, one hall and one kitchen. Generally, it is assumed that a 3 BHK flat will have one Kitchen, 2 Balconies and 3 Washrooms but there is no fixed rule here, there can be 3 balconies or 2 Washrooms and it all depends upon the developer and his land usage guidelines or the planning that has gone into the particular project / Property.
And hence the abbreviation is used for:
- 1BHK apartment that means 1 bedroom, hall, kitchen.
- 2BHK apartment that means 2 bedrooms, hall, kitchen
- 3BHK apartment that means 3 bedrooms, hall, kitchen
- 4BHK apartment that means 4 bedrooms, hall, kitchen
However, there are a lot many variations to this as well. A 2BHK can have a servant quarter / or a study room, depending upon the requirement of the general investors/customer for the particular area. And the same goes with 3 BHK and so on.
Now the same abbreviation is used for Independent houses, Builder floor properties and VILLAS. However to make it easier for the customer, in the case of PLOTs – the general terminology is used that a 3 BHK flat can be built in the plot and hence the customer is clear in his / her mind as to how big or small can the plot be.
Now let’s talk about the features of a typical 3 BHK Unit / Flat.
