Buying a house has become a key topic of discussion. Although many buyers have some concepts about the house they want to buy, they are facing the problem of how to buy a good house because they lack a certain understanding of real estate. The following are ten points of buying a house for your reference.
Recently, the landscaping of residential projects are diverse. Those houses advertise about their exotic scenery and European style landscaping may be a trick for buyers. Buyers to observe and consider carefully. The residential environment has an important index-the green space rate, which refers to the percentage of the total green space in the residential area to the total land in the residential area. It is worth noting that "green space rate" and "green coverage rate" are two different concepts. Green space does not include balcony and roof greening. Some developers will intentionally confuse these two concepts.
Building plot ratio is one of the main technical and economic indicators in the planning and design of residential areas. Buyers should realize that this indicator is often seen in commercial housing sales advertisements. Generally speaking, the total construction area within the planned construction land area multiplied by the building plot ratio is equal to the planned construction land area. The area of planned construction land refers to the area of land allowed for construction. The urban roads, public green spaces, and urban parking lots outside the residential area are not included. The concept of building floor area ratio is different from that of residential building floor area ratio. The former includes the building area within the scope of land use, and the total land is the same. Therefore, in the index, the former is higher than the latter.
The high plot ratio indicates that there are many houses built in the residential area and the population density is high. The floor area ratio is just a simple indicator. Although some projects may not seem to have a high floor area ratio, it is not advisable to make building over-crowded in order to enlarge the atrium garden or avoid the underground garage.
There are two types of traffic in a residential area: pedestrians traffic, vehicles traffic, and mixed traffic of pedestrians and vehicles. As a current selling point of real estate, cars enter the underground garage directly without passing through community. The pedestrians and vehicles do not interfere with each other. Without interference from vehicles moving, parking, and noise in the community, the pedestrian paths in the community can be used for leisure purpose which improve the environmental quality of the community. However, this community design is expensive to implement.
A community with mixed traffic should make sure that the main road in the area has traffic but nut much. This is to prevent the cross-border traffic from interfering with the community; to see if it has enough parking spaces for cars and whether the parking spaces are located reasonably. The general principle is that cars parked in the open area should not enter the residential area if possible. If the parking lot has to be close to the house, it should be as close as possible to the gable instead of the front of the house.
When comparing with prices, you must first find out the quoted price on each item. Some are the "opening price", that is, the lowest price; some are the "average price"; some are the "maximum price"; some are the entire price, and some are the price of the built-up area. The most important thing is to clarify (or convert) the actual price of the selected house. These prices vary greatly and will affect your decision.
Sunlight entering the house is the basic condition to ensure the physical and mental health of the owners. Effective sunlight can improve the microclimate of the house, ensure the sanitation of the house, and improve the comfort of the house. The sunshine standard in the house is measured by sunshine time and sunshine quality. Residential buildings in residential quarters are often a strong selling point for developers. However, it is worth noting that the distance between the north and the south of some residential buildings does not meet the specification requirements, and the south-facing windows are small or open in deep grooves. It often prevents houses from getting effective sunlight.
In the hot summer, good ventilation is often as important as sunlight in the cold season. If the residence is north/south oriented, there will be a draught in summer, which is better than all the rooms in the house facing south but no draught. Buyers must distinguish carefully when they buy houses.
Noise harms people in many ways. It not only interferes with people's life and rest, but also causes many diseases. The "Code for Residential Design" stipulates that the allowable noise level of bedrooms and living rooms should be less than 50 decibels during the day and less than or equal to 40 decibels at night. Although most home buyers cannot measure accurately, they should be aware that the house should keep a certain distance from noise sources in residential areas such as schools and farmer’s markets. Under normal circumstances, the rooms and bedrooms in a residence cannot be arranged next to the elevator to prevent noise interference.
In addition to factors such as sunshine and ventilation, the distance between houses and the interference of line of sight must also be considered. Under normal circumstances, people can distinguish each other within 24 meters, and the appearance of each other can be seen clearly within 12 meters. In order to avoid sight interference, the distance between the rooms of multi-storey residential buildings should be no less than 24 meters, and the lateral spacing of high-rise residential buildings should be greater than 20 meters. In addition, if the design is not well considered, the side windows and front windows of the tower house often form a "through view" phenomenon, and attention should be paid when choosing a house.
Many home buyers still believe it is better to have larger house area. It seems that housing less than 100 square meters can only be a temporary transition product for cascade consumption. In fact, people may not feel comfortable inside a house that is too large. From an economic point of view, not only the expenditure on buying a house is large, but also the expenditure on properties and other aspects will increase.
The grade of a house is not actually the size of the area. Experts believe that a family of three with an area of 70-90 square meters can basically meet the needs of daily life. The key question is whether the residence has been carefully designed, whether the living room, bedroom, dining room and other functions are reasonably configured, and whether the limited space is fully utilized.
The sales area of commercial housing = the building area inside the apartment + the shared public building area; the building area inside the apartment = the use area inside the apartment + the wall area inside the apartment + the building area of the balcony The building area in the suite is relatively intuitive, and the shared public area may differ. The shared public building area includes public corridors, entrance halls, stairwells, elevator rooms, waiting halls, etc. When buying a house, buyers must pay attention to whether the share area is reasonable. Generally, the share area of multi-storey residential buildings is small, and the share area of high-rise residential buildings is large due to the large public access area.
For houses with the same use area, the public share area is small. This shows that the design is economical and reasonable, so buyers can get larger private space. However, one should pay attention that small sharing area is not always good. For example, if the corridor is too narrow, it will definitely reduce the comfort of residents.
Summary: The above ten points are all suggestions from professionals. In addition, when buying a house, you must look at the developer’s "five certificates": real estate development permit, state-owned land use permit, project development permit, construction project planning permit and commercial housing pre-sale permit. In addition to the above contents, the author reminds buyers not to blindly pursue low-priced housing.
