Living in a bustling city, if you don't live in a villa, you won't have a patio at home. And as Chinese, I have a longing for the courtyard in my bones!

However, the size of the villa is large and high, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

Some developers have launched houses with courtyards on the first floor, which are very popular with consumers!MoreoverThe quantity is limited, and it is difficult to grab itSome of them still need to be bought by trusting relationships.

For those who have grabbed it, you will feel very lucky!

However, you didn't find out until you checked inIt wasn't as perfect as you imaginedAnd the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, and some of them silently moved away and ** because they couldn't stand it.

Why is that?

Why do you insist on buying the first floor with a courtyard?

House with patio on the ground floorIt satisfies the yard dream of many peopleIt does bring a lot of fun to life, which is why it is very popular, and it also has the following advantages.

Outdoor features

It was ok to have an exclusive patio to feel the fresh air outsideDesign the functional space according to your own preferences.

For example:Friends who like to taste tea,You can set up a canopy, lay outdoor wooden floors, and set up a set of tea tables and chairs to become a casual and comfortable tea room.

You can also set up a table and act as a makeshift dining room, which is very flexible.

You can also set aside a meadow so that children can camp directly here, so they don't have to run that far.

On days off, invite friends and family to come over for a party, and arrange a barbecue grill directly.

Easy access

Living on the first floor, you don't have to wait for the elevator and take the stairs, and it is very convenient to enter and exit at ordinary times. Don't worryWaiting for the elevator during the morning and evening rush hoursThere's no need to climb stairs due to power outages or elevator repairs.

Especially for:Elderly people with limited mobilityIt is indeed a lot more convenient to live on the first floor.

Grow flowers and vegetables

The courtyard is indispensable to flowers and plants, for friends who love green plants, there will be space to raise flowers, which can not only cultivate sentiment, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance.

At the same time, you can also grow vegetables, and at the moment of harvest, you can think of the results of your efforts, reallyIt gives people a sense of accomplishment!And the vegetables you grow yourself are also cleaner and healthier.

Discover the shortcomings of the ground floor with a patio

Although a house with a courtyard on the first floor has the above advantages, you will find out after moving in that there are also the following disadvantages:

Lack of privacy

Since living on the ground floor, you can't avoid the lack of privacy in the general courtyardThe fences are made semi-transparentThe style, whenever someone passes by outside, will be Xi to look in, making people feel that they are stared at all the time, and they will be uncomfortable.

If the courtyardMake a sealed fenceAlthough it can be seen by passers-by, it can make the courtyard more oppressive, and you can imagine that the courtyard is surrounded by 3 high walls, and it doesn't feel very comfortable.

There are many mosquitoes and mice

Due to the garden to grow flowers and vegetables, as well as the green plants in the community, it will attract a lot of mosquitoes and mice to "patronize", every year in summer, there are many mosquitoes, and basically can not stay in the courtyard at night.

And here it isCold winter,No matter day or night, you won't want to go out to the patio to blow the wind, you will stay indoors to warm up more comfortably.

Noise issues

Living in a house on the first floor will be more susceptible to all kinds of noise disturbances, especiallyThe old people of the community,I get up in the morning for morning exercise, and I will square dance in the evening.

Whether it's day or night, the noise will always be there, especiallyIn the dead of nightIt will hear very clearly, affecting the quality of sleep.

Safety hazards

Living in a house with a courtyard on the first floor has two common safety hazards.

First: due to the low floor, it is easy to be burglarized by thieves, resulting in property losses.

Second: When encountering some low-quality upstairs residents, they will throw garbage into the courtyard every once in a while, such as plastic bottles, cigarette butts, used paper towels, etc. So that you will not feel safe in the yard, it would be better if there was a canopy.

However, I have seen it beforeUpstairs residents threw rocks and smashed the glass of the canopy.

Ownership of property rights

Before purchasing, you must understand the ownership of the courtyard, whether it belongs to yourself or all the owners

Otherwise, when you decorate the courtyard, you will find that it is not compliant. When the time comes, everything will have to be dismantled, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

If the drawings on the real estate certificate contain a courtyard, it means that it belongs to you, and the property right is fine.

If the courtyard is not included on the title deed, it belongs to all the owners. The developer has no rights**, and at most can only promise that you have the right to use the courtyard.

However, there may be a risk of being complained about being forcibly evicted after moving in.

Sewage problems

A few years ago, a house on the first floor often appearedSewage pipe backfillingThe main reason for this phenomenon is that the sewage pipe on the first floor is shared with the upper floor, and the first floor will suffer during peak drainage hours or if it is blocked.

Fortunately, the current new real estate will separate the sewage pipe of the house on the first floor from the sewage pipe on the upper floor, which solves the problem of backflow.

Summary at the end of the article

Owning a courtyard is the goal and dream of many friends, and if it is a villa courtyard that does make life better, there is no scruples.

However, there are many problems with a courtyard on the first floor, so you must fully consider it before buying, and don't regret it after moving in.
