Duplex buildings are starting to be disliked? The old owner complained that it was beautiful but not practical
Duplex has always been a popular type of residence among young people, compared with flat-floor units, duplex buildings can always give people an impression of atmosphere and large area. In the eyes of most people, a duplex refers to a two-story house, but in fact, a two-story house is not necessarily a duplex, and there is a kind of duplex that is also a two-story house, so many people are easy to confuse the two.
Objectively, the advantages of the real duplex building are also very obvious, it is mainly divided into two floors, the ground floor can generally be organized into a kitchen, dining room and living room, specially used for eating, chatting, and meeting guests; The upper floor is used as a bedroom, office, etc., so that the living and working spaces can be separated without interfering with each other, which is very much in line with the values of contemporary young people.
However, in recent years, we have seen duplexes gradually become obsolete from the market, and even developers are no longer building duplexes**, which is enough to show that the market position of duplexes is getting lower and lower. So, why did the once-sought-after duplex suddenly fall out of favor? There are four main reasons for this.
As we all know, duplex houses are relatively large in size, and in terms of square meters, they will be much more expensive than ordinary flat-floor houses. In today's society, although it seems that everyone lives a privileged life of buying a house and a car, in fact, ordinary people with average income still account for the vast majority.
That is to say, the ** of the duplex building is often equivalent to the ** of two small commercial houses. Under the influence of high housing prices, many young people dare not consider it at all, and the rich have gone to buy villas, and the duplex can only be strangely sandwiched in the middle, and they can't go up or down.
The duplex building is large in size, divided into two floors, even if it is just a general decoration, it is a large expense. Because the duplex building is not like a small bungalow, you can find a worker to install it, and you have to make a reasonable layout, and some even have to ask a decoration company to design it, and then you have to spend a lot of money to decorate.
Take a simple example: a 140-square-meter duplex building, from decoration to occupancy, the cost will not be less than 500,000 yuan, some white-collar workers with higher family income can afford it, but people with general family income have to make up enough money to buy a house, not to mention a large amount of decoration costs, which is not affordable by ordinary people.
Although the duplex seems to be large, the depth is relatively small, so the light and ventilation of this type of unit is often not as good as that of a unit with a balcony. What's more, due to the limited overall height of the duplex, the layered design is prone to the situation that the ground floor is high and the upper floor is low, and if the top floor is a bedroom, it will inevitably feel a little depressing. This is also the reason why many old owners say that duplex buildings are not practical.
It is worth mentioning that the duplex building is prone to danger due to the need to install stairs, so this type of apartment is not suitable for people with elderly and children. After all, the staircase is large and will take up a lot of space; But if the stairs are small, I am afraid that it is not safe for the elderly and children to walk on them, which is a headache.
The overall ** of the duplex is relatively high, so the duplex is actually the same as the villa, it is very expensive at the beginning, but it is not so valuable if you want to sell it, and these high-net-worth customers are difficult to find, and it is difficult to sell the house when it is hanging, and it is often in the embarrassing situation of having a price but no market.
In short, although the duplex seems to be of high quality, life is not as perfect as imagined, and there are many deficiencies and flaws. I wonder what everyone thinks about this?
