Things to note when buying a house in Shijiazhuang: Master these 15 keywords

Buying a house is different from renting a house, let alone buying groceries in the market. A house payment of millions makes buying a house a major event in life. How to avoid the minefields of home buying? How to avoid beating your chest and shouting regrets? Savvy homebuyers need to know 15 key words.

1. Location: What are the factors that determine the value of a house? Location, location, location! The choice of location, whether for owner-occupation or investment, is equally important.

2. Small environment: refers to the environment around and within the community. Some properties are in good locations, but the small environment cannot be complimented. Be sure to pay attention to whether there are high-voltage wires, factories, power stations, etc. in the surrounding area. sources of pollution, and the surrounding properties close to urban villages must also be discounted.

3. Floor area ratio: In fact, this concept is very simple. The floor area ratio is the ratio of the total building area to the building land area. The smaller the floor area ratio, the better. According to experience, the floor area ratio of luxury homes is usually below 1.5.

4. Practicality rate: It means the ratio of your actual use area and building area. Usually the practicality rate of multi-storey buildings without elevators will be as high as 92% or more, and the practicality rate of small high-rise buildings with elevators will be more than 85%. , more than 80% of high-rise buildings with more than 15 floors are normal. The usability rate of some properties is so low that it’s hard to figure out where the area is allocated. Because the price of buying a house is calculated based on the construction area, it is not cost-effective to buy such a house.

5. Construction quality: This requires an on-site inspection at the construction site when the property is under construction, and only with a certain degree of professionalism can it be seen. How to judge if the property has been capped or if you are buying a second-hand property? You can search the owner forums of well-known websites and read the old posts on the forums to get the most intuitive understanding of the shortcomings of the real estate.

6. Noise: This is a factor that requires special attention, as it may seriously affect the quality of sleep. Don't listen to the nonsense that the agent said that this house is equipped with vacuum soundproof glass and it is particularly quiet when the windows are closed. You cannot live in a house without opening windows. Pay special attention to the fact that properties close to highways and overpasses will not be quiet under any circumstances.

7. Floor: The first floor is usually very humid because it is easy to access and not very safe. It would be better to have an elevated floor. Generally, the higher the floor, the better the lighting and ventilation. If there is a road next to it, the noise in the upper floor will be louder than that in the lower floor due to sound wave diffraction. For high-rise buildings with elevators, the higher the floor, the more expensive the price. For multi-floor buildings without elevators, just remember "gold, three, silver and four".

8. Orientation: The best orientation is north-south, with the bedroom and living room facing south. The second order is south, southeast, southwest, east-west, east, west, northeast, northwest, and north. Whether it faces south or north, the difference in living experience is very big. Houses facing north will be exposed to the sun in summer, but not at all in winter. There is no wind in summer, but the north wind blows in winter. Houses in the west are generally hotter and will cost you more for air conditioning.

9. Ventilation: Ventilation is related to design. Ventilation must have convection. It is impossible to ventilate a house with windows only facing one side. Some buildings have very poor ventilation design and no ventilation at all. Such houses are very bad for health and should be considered carefully.

10. Lighting: If life lacks sunlight, what is the difference between human beings and salted fish?

11. Residential nature: The residential nature is divided into residential and commercial buildings, which is written on the real estate certificate. Usually, commercial and residential buildings can be used as the registration place to open a company, but residential buildings are not allowed, so generally there are several companies in commercial and residential buildings. Living in a building like this, there will be a lot of people coming and going, so you need to consider everything comprehensively. How to identify the nature of a residence? The most direct way is to look at the real estate certificate, or there is another simple way. Usually the podium floor of a residence is a shop, and its nature is commercial and residential. Another issue that we should pay special attention to is the business nature of shops in commercial and residential buildings. If they are in the catering industry, it is the worst. Be careful that they may be contaminated by oil fumes, so avoid them.

12. Degree: Each house is divided into primary and secondary schools. If the divided schools are good, there will be a premium. This is easy to understand. Parents are willing to educate their children. It costs a lot of money!

13. Land approval time: that is, the time when the land is approved for building a house, which affects the service life of the house. The current useful life of residential buildings is 70 years, calculated from the time of land grant.

Although some properties are new, the land was granted very early and their service life must be discounted. However, you don’t need to pay too much attention to this factor. According to the new property rights law, after the useful life expires, as long as the land is not used for other purposes, it will be automatically renewed. The owner needs to pay the land use fee to continue to own the property.

14. House type: The key point of the house type is the two words "Founder". If you don’t want someone to do a Feng Shui check, then remember to choose a house with a square shape. As long as the house is square, there won’t be any big Feng Shui problems. Another thing to consider is whether there is a lot of wasted space. The corridors and corners of some houses will take up too much area.

15. Developers and builders: If you still have energy after understanding the above factors, you can check the qualifications of the developers and builders of the property, and the owner forums of the properties that have been developed in the past. . Usually the quality of projects from well-known real estate companies is relatively guaranteed.
