As we all know, the age of old and dilapidated houses is usually more than 20 to 30 years. In addition to the comfort of living in a house like this, it is difficult to rent it out.
However, people who have lived in old and dilapidated should have also found a problem. It's that there will always be some advertisements for the purchase of houses on the wall of the community, and it is still the top floor that everyone dislikes.
What's going on here? It was a surprise that a person who was engaged in the sale of real estate told the truth.
1. Why do you have to buy the top floor?
Even if there are only 7 floors, you need to climb the stairs every day, far less comfortable than the first and second floors, and there are hidden dangers of water leakage, cold in winter and hot in summer.
But in fact, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the top floor naturally has its own unique advantages, as follows.
Relatively low
Because there are many problems on the top floor, compared with the lower floor, it obviously has a more people-friendly advantage.
Therefore, in the eyes of intermediaries, there is no need to bear excessive capital risks, and they can be sold to some families in need more quickly when they are resold for the second time. After all, families who are willing to choose the old and the small often do not have too much money on hand.
There are school districts
The old and dilapidated are often located in the center of the city, so compared with the new real estate in the fringe of the city, there are more complete supporting facilities around.
It is not an exaggeration to say that some of the better educational resources are often concentrated in the periphery of the old and the small. In order to facilitate their children's schooling, many parents either rent a house in the old and dilapidated primary school, or buy a set of old and dilapidated primary school for transition.
Therefore, the top floor, which is relatively close to the people, has naturally become the preferred target.
There is great potential for transformation
The old and dilapidated penthouses are not all flat floor structures, and there are also many structures with duplexes and large terraces, so they also give the house greater potential for renovation.
Therefore, the people who buy the penthouse are not only for the parents of their children, but also some operators. For example, it will be transformed into hotels, B&Bs, etc., and then extended to commercial use.
Waiting for demolition
The reason why the old and dilapidated exist is because of the geographical location, so it is difficult to be demolished, but this does not mean that it will not be demolished in the future. After all, with the development of the city, the old and the small have always been incompatible with the image of the city.
Therefore, for some investors, buying in a low-cost way and then waiting for compensation for demolition is also a good way to invest.
In particular, there are many people who have achieved financial freedom directly through demolition and relocation.
2. What should I pay attention to when buying an old and dilapidated small penthouse?
Whether it is bought for self-living or for investment, you need to pay special attention when buying old and broken, as follows.
Geographical location
Whether it is an old dilapidated or a new real estate, the geographical location must be the core factor. It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as the house is in a good location, even if the house is a mess, it is worth buying.
Proof of ownership
Due to historical reasons, many old and dilapidated houses have incomplete procedures, and even many of them are small property rights. So when we buy, we must pay attention to this problem to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In addition, some of the top floors have some developable space, although it is not considered a property right, but it is also necessary to pay attention to whether there is a right to use. If not, it is inevitable that there will be disputes with neighbors during the later renovation.
Community Package
Although there are relatively complete supporting facilities around the old and small houses, it is necessary to verify it before purchasing. Especially in the school district, it is necessary to confirm it again and again, and it is best to go directly to the corresponding school to understand. Even if the planned area is different every year, there must be a school district in the community that should have a school district.
In addition, there has always been a problem of parking difficulties, regardless of whether you buy a car now, you must take the parking space into account. In addition, things like property management, community greening and safety should also be understood.
Housing situation
The biggest problem with the top floor is water leakage, but it doesn't mean that all top floors will leak. If the house has been inhabited and there are multiple water leaks, it means that the water leakage problem is serious.
Therefore, don't buy a penthouse like this, even if it can be completely renovated, the cost will be relatively large. Otherwise, it is impossible for the former owner to live in the leaky room all the time.
3. The current situation of living on the old and dilapidated small roof
If you can decorate it with your heart, in fact, the living comfort must not be bad, let's take a look at the living experience of some netizens.
Netizen @To be a tree:Don't listen to persuasion, buy the city center stairs old and broken, in addition to going up and down the stairs will be a little tired, everything else is good, every day when I go home, I want to go home quickly, I don't want to go anywhere.
As for the problem of water leakage, there is no such thing as a leak, even if it leaks, it will be repaired directly, and some people say that it is cold in winter and hot in summer, I think I have never lived on the top floor. In summer, when the wind passes, it is called cool, and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner.
Netizen @ Drink is not a drink:It is said that the top floor can not be bought, which is not good and that is not good, only when you live in it will know how comfortable it is. The transportation is convenient, the view is wide, and it is quiet, and I don't feel anything bad at all.
The only regret is that I didn't buy the top floor with a terrace. But I'm also very content, after all, it's a lot cheaper, which is very much in line with a family like myself.
Netizen @Miss He who lives on the top floor:The first apartment at the age of 28 is now the top floor, which is not only a life, but also has the function of a studio. Especially this large terrace, it feels like a blockbuster when you take a picture.
Although it is a set of step houses, it has no impact on myself who loves home, so I think it is exercise, and I really like this home.
Write at the end:
In fact, whether it is old and dilapidated, or a new real estate, it has its advantages and disadvantages. What we need to consider is to see if we can accept its shortcomings and whether it meets our housing needs. Only in this way can you create a comfortable home. What do you think about this?
