How about buying a penthouse? Expert: Don't be easily tempted by multiple temptations.
The top floor has many advantages and obvious disadvantages.
Nine advantages of the top floor:
1, the view is wide, and other mountains are dwarfed under the sky. It is also good for protecting eyesight;
2. Good ventilation and lighting effect, which can save lighting electricity in rainy days;
3, less affected by external noise, no noise interference from upstairs residents, and will not be disturbed by neighbors up and down the corridor;
4. Because there are few people walking, the corridor is sanitary and there are many personal spaces;
5. The rainy season is relatively dry, so dehumidification is not needed;
6. Less mosquitoes;
7. Good privacy;
8. Multi-storey houses without elevators can often climb stairs to exercise;
9. Prices are often cheaper.
Six shortcomings of the top floor:
1, which is hot in summer and cold in winter, and consumes more electricity and water resources than low-level units in summer;
2. If there is a problem with the building quality of the roof, it will suffer first, which is prone to water seepage and cracks;
3, the water pressure is generally small;
4. The top floor of high-rise residence is afraid of power failure, and the elevator operation cost and elevator maintenance cost are more;
5, there is no elevator on the top floor, climbing stairs is hard, not suitable for families with elderly people;
6, the bathroom will emit odor, because most of the ventilation pipes are on it, and all the odors are from the first floor.
The top floor is more popular with young people.
The top floor used to be a house that people could not avoid. Because of the large area of direct sunlight on the top floor, it is easy to accumulate water in rainy days, and the probability of poor heat dissipation is relatively high, so living on the top floor is described as "hot water". However, the "congenital deficiency" of the top floor has been improved with the improvement of architectural design and technology and the change of marketing means of developers.
Domestic buildings are generally flat-topped, and now many cities have started the "flat to slope" project. The first thing that can change the "fate" of the penthouse is the price. At present, the standard apartment price of the top floor of the property is basically lower than that of other floors. In the same community, everyone enjoys the same greening, apartment layout, property management and supporting facilities. When buying the top floor, the unit price per square meter is 5% to 10% less than other floors. Preferential prices attract first-time home buyers, especially young buyers who care about prices, and they become the main customer base for buying top-level units.
Secondly, some developers changed the original large duplex on the top floor into a delicate and chic small duplex, and added a layer of attic with transom on the top floor, in which the space with a clear height of less than 2.2 meters is not considered as the usable area. In this way, the roof is turned into a slope, which plays the role of waterproof and heat insulation, and also adds a selling point to the top-level units-the utilization rate of rooms is improved, and buyers can use the attic as a bedroom, children's toy storage room or tea room at will, and many buyers can't help but be moved.
Another trick of developers is to hand over the right to use the rooftop to buyers, which makes penthouses particularly marketable. In fact, many people have romantic ideas when buying a house, thinking that with the rooftop, they can sit on it at night to enjoy the moon, chat, or make a private garden to increase the activity area. It is this kind of psychology that makes many buyers have a special liking for giving rooftop houses.
