In recent years, buyers of all types of buildings have been faced with a common question: when buying a multi-storey building, which floor is the most suitable?Especially in houses with less than seven floors, the discussion about the fourth floor is particularly intense. Some people think the fourth floor is unlucky, but I think it's just nonsense. From the perspective of actual residence and investment, there is no problem with the fourth floor. However, in addition to the fourth floor, there are some floors that need to be purchased with caution. This article will delve into the selection of suitable floors for multi-storey buildings below seven floors, hoping to provide a more accurate reference for buyers.
Recently, questions have been raised about the best floor when buying a multi-storey building with less than seven floors, especially the choice of the fourth floor. They were worried that the house on the fourth floor was homophonic with "death" and would bring bad luck to the occupants. However, from a residential point of view, there are no obvious shortcomings in terms of lighting, ventilation, and view. The claim that living on the fourth floor is unlucky can only be described as nonsense. Of course, objectively speaking, buying a house on the third and fourth floors will be relatively more expensive, which requires buyers to be psychologically prepared.
In response to this problem, we believe that the fourth floor is not an uninhabitable floor. From the point of view of living quality, the fourth floor is still a good choice. Below we will detail the circumstances of buying with caution on other floors and provide more reference advice for buyers.
1. The first floor: poor lighting, humidity, noise and other problems
The house on the first floor seems to have a lot of advantages in the eyes of many: it is relatively cheap, easy to get around, etc. However, the disadvantages of the first floor are also obvious. First of all, the lighting on the first floor is very poor, it is difficult for sunlight to enter the room, and the lights must be turned on during the day. Secondly, the privacy of the first floor is poor, and in order to avoid being prying eyes by outsiders, the curtains should be drawn all year round. In addition, the ground floor is susceptible to moisture, and owners often need to replace the flooring regularly to cope with moisture problems. In addition, the first floor, which is close to the road, is easily disturbed by ground noise and is particularly noisy. In summer, residents on the first floor should often keep their windows and doors closed to prevent the invasion of pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches. On the whole, although the first floor has its own unique features, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, so it is not advisable to buy a house on the first floor.
2. Top floor: There is a problem of cheap but inconvenient
Like the first floor, the house on the top floor is usually a little cheaper on the **. Also, the top floor has more privacy. However, the disadvantages of the penthouse are also not negligible. First of all, due to the height of the top floor, it becomes inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, especially for the elderly, living on the top floor is not suitable. Secondly, the top floor has poor thermal insulation, which is extremely cold in winter and extremely hot in summer, and often requires the help of air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature. In addition, during the rainy season, the exterior wall of the top floor is prone to water seepage, which causes the walls in the room to become moldy and need to be renovated. Overall, while the penthouse has its own unique advantages, its disadvantages are also not negligible, so it needs to be purchased with caution.
Now that we know the floors that are not suitable for purchase, let's take a closer look at the floors that are suitable for purchase. In multi-storey buildings with less than seven floors, in fact, all floors except the first floor and the top floor are good choices. Below we will introduce the characteristics of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors respectively, in order to provide a more accurate reference for home buyers.
2. Building: Relatively cheap and convenient for the elderly
Compared to the 3rd to 5th floors, the 2nd floor is cheaper, making it a good choice for buyers with limited family financial resources. In addition, the residents on the second floor are also relatively easy to travel, especially for the elderly, who will not be too tired to go up and down the stairs. At the same time, the 2nd floor has relatively less damp problems compared to the first floor. However, the 2nd floor is not as good as the upper floors in terms of lighting and views. In addition, the second floor of some buildings may have problems with sewer backflow, especially in summer. While developers nowadays are usually able to solve this problem, there is still a lot of caution to consider when buying.
3. Floor: good vision and good ventilation
Compared to the 2nd floor, the ** on the 3rd floor will be slightly higher. However, the house on the 3rd floor has a good view and ventilation. The floors are moderate, and there will not be too many stairs to go up and down, which is convenient for residents to travel. However, for some older home buyers, there is still a need to consider going up and down the stairs.
4. Building: lighting, ventilation, vision and other aspects are very good
As we mentioned earlier, the 4th floor has no obvious problems from a residential point of view, and it performs well in all aspects. With plenty of natural light, good ventilation and a wide view, it is perfect for the needs of all kinds of families. For those who don't believe in superstitions, the 4th floor is still a good choice.
To sum up, from the current multi-storey buildings with less than seven floors, there is no floor that must not be selected. On the contrary, each floor has its pros and cons. Most importantly, buyers need to fully understand the pros and cons of the floor before deciding to buy and make a rational choice based on their own needs. For buyers whose family financial conditions allow, they can consider buying a house on the 2nd to 4th floors. For buyers with limited funds, they can choose to buy the 5th floor, 1st floor or top floor. In conclusion, make an informed decision by thoroughly considering the pros and cons of this floor before buying a home.
