In the past few years, many middle-class families like to buy duplex buildings, mainly because duplex buildings give people an impression of atmosphere and large area. In addition, many people like to divide the duplex house into two parts. The lower floor is mainly used for functions such as the living room, kitchen, and dining room, while the upper floor is used for the owner's sleeping, study, and other functions. And with these two floors there is no interference with each other.
In recent years, more and more middle-class families have chosen to "escape" from the duplex, and many old owners are still crying that there are too many "hard injuries" in the duplex, which is too sad. Let's find out:
First, the living experience is poor
Many owners reported that living in a duplex building had a poor living experience, which was far from being as good as they had imagined before. There are mainly the following three problems: 1. The face of the duplex building is wide, but the depth is small, so the lighting and ventilation of the house will be relatively poor. 2. Usually the height of the duplex building is only more than 5 meters. If the ceiling height of the downstairs room is not affected, the upstairs room will be relatively low, which can feel oppressive.
3. After purchasing a duplex house, it is necessary to design and install stairs up and down the stairs, and the stairs will face the problem of how much space the house occupies. If you want to save space, you will install the staircase as steeper or narrower, but this will bring some danger to children and the elderly going up and down the stairs. If you choose a wide and stable staircase, it will take up more indoor space, and the average family will not find it cost-effective.
Second, the cost of renovation is high
Usually after buying a duplex house, you have to face the problem of decoration. In fact, the renovation of a duplex house is much more complicated than the renovation of a regular house. Buyers first have to spend money to hire a professional design company to design, and after the design is completed, they also have to hire a professional decoration company to decorate.
In this way, a 150-square-meter duplex house will cost at least 60-700,000 yuan for decoration. Some white-collar families can afford to scrape together a down payment for a duplex, but they can't afford to spend a lot of money on design and renovation. In addition, the area of the duplex house is larger, and the property fee, maintenance**, heating fee, etc. are relatively expensive, which is not something that ordinary working families can afford.
Third, duplex houses have poor circulation
There is not much room for appreciation of second-hand duplex houses, and it is difficult to sell them for cash. The reason is very simple, the difference between a duplex house and a villa is not very big, and rich people like to buy and buy large villas, so that it looks more atmospheric. The senior white-collar workers like to buy large flats in the urban area, which is more convenient to travel and has good surrounding supporting facilities. Ordinary people will not consider buying a duplex house because the total price is too high. Therefore, it is now easy to buy a duplex house, but if you want to sell it, you must sell it far below the market price, otherwise it will be difficult to realize, so that the owner of the duplex will feel very lost.
In previous years, many middle-class people liked to buy duplex houses, mainly because they could divide the house into two living areas. Each area has different functions, and it feels like a good living experience. However, now it is found that the duplex house has three major defects: 1. The living experience is not as good as imagined before; 2. The design and decoration cost of duplex houses is high; 3. The liquidity of duplex houses is poor, and it is not easy to realize them. Therefore, many owners who have purchased duplex houses often choose to move out, preferring to move to large flats or villas to live.
