Advantages and disadvantages of living on the top floor

Advantages: good vision, good ventilation and lighting, low noise, good air, good privacy, few mosquitoes and price advantage. The shortcomings of the top floor are: hidden dangers of waterproofing, poor thermal insulation, hidden dangers of water supply, high property fees and hidden dangers of power failure.

Disadvantages: The top floor is prone to water leakage and seepage, and the thermal insulation of the top floor is poor, so it is prone to Leng Xia fever in winter. The location of the top floor determines that the water pressure is small, the water and electricity consumption will be relatively large, and the property cost of the top floor is relatively high. Moreover, once there is a power failure on the top floor, it is very difficult to go up and down the stairs, which is very unfriendly to families with old people and children.
