Advantages and disadvantages of buying an old house

For property buyers, buying a house is really a time-consuming and laborious thing. As far as the real estate market in China is concerned, the price of new houses is high, but with the development of the city, the position of new houses is more and more biased. In this case, many property buyers began to turn their attention to some second-hand houses. But can you buy an older second-hand house? What are the pros and cons? Let's get to know it together!

First, the advantages of older second-hand houses

1, the position is dominant.

Generally speaking, older second-hand houses are usually located in the city center, with convenient transportation and mature facilities. If you live in such a lot, on the one hand, the transportation is convenient, and there are many means of transportation you can take, such as bus and subway, which will reduce the time on the way to and from work, thus saving time costs. On the other hand, there are many residents around this house, and all aspects of life are complete, so life is natural and convenient.

2, the price is relatively cheap

The pricing of second-hand houses will consider many factors, such as the depreciation rate of second-hand houses. Due to the age of the house and the short service life of the remaining land, the price of this second-hand house is naturally much cheaper than that of the new house in the surrounding area.

Moreover, many second-hand houses have a small proportion, 60 to 70 square meters can be used as two rooms, and the total price of the house is naturally low; In addition, the pool area of second-hand houses is usually small, so the use area in the suite will naturally become larger.

The quality of the house is directly visible.

Compared with the purchase of auction, one advantage of buying a second-hand house is that there will be no unfinished business, and the quality of the house can be directly seen. Such as whether there are cracks in the house, the thickness of the roof, the degree of rain and sun protection, the foundation of the house (the house will sink or tilt), and the materials used in the whole house.

Second, the shortcomings of old houses and second-hand houses

1, poor property service

Generally speaking, the property fee in the old community is relatively cheap, so the supporting property services and management are relatively poor, and they are not doing very well in community health, access control, security and fire protection. Living in such a community will inevitably be a little uncomfortable.

2. The living environment is dilapidated.

Because the second-hand house has lived for a certain time. Moreover, the planning and construction of this old house is relatively early, and the environment of the community may not meet the needs of people now, such as the low greening rate. And because the construction time is earlier, the house will naturally be dilapidated!

3. The transformation cost is high.

Old second-hand houses are generally poorly decorated, especially the kitchen and bathroom. Even if the decoration is not bad, it is used by others after all, so buyers often choose to redecorate after buying a house. This will not only increase the cost of buying a house, but also be time-consuming and laborious.

It is difficult to apply for a loan.

If the second-hand house is too old, the most direct impact is that the loan will shrink. Generally speaking, the loan amount of old houses is low, or some banks simply don't lend. This is mainly determined according to the evaluation results of houses. The reason why it is difficult to borrow old second-hand houses is largely due to the shrinkage of land use years.

Through the introduction of Bian Xiao, I believe everyone has a relevant understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of second-hand housing for the elderly. In fact, the biggest drawback of buying an older second-hand house is the problems of the house itself, such as huxing, building materials and residential environment. However, older second-hand houses also have advantages, such as relatively complete peripheral facilities.
