Is a house with a terrace worth buying?

Whether a house with a terrace is worth the money depends on the demand:

1, if you like sunny people, you will find it worthwhile. Because the terrace is the closest place between home and nature, it can not only optimize lighting, ventilation and vision to the greatest extent, but also has no noise interference and the space is very private. If it is a closed terrace, the space design will be hidden, which can not only satisfy people's desire to bathe in the sun and feel the nature, but also further expand the indoor area, and it is more likely to be transformed into a study, greenhouse, tea room, bar and rest area.

2. However, this part of terraced fields has not been well utilized. Some owners have bought feedback with terraces. If the quality of residents in the community is not high, this part of the terrace will become a garbage dump or a private garbage dump, and the residents upstairs will throw things down from time to time. Some people say it is good to build a shed. Many residential properties are not allowed to be built privately. In addition, garbage is piled up on the shed, which is more difficult to clean up. So buying a house with a terrace is not necessarily good. Naturally, some people think it is not worth buying.

What's the difference between a terrace and a balcony?

1, with or without top surface

The biggest difference between a terrace and a balcony is whether there is a top surface. Terraces have no top surface. It is a platform with prominent facade of the building, and guardrails should be installed around it to prevent people and articles from falling out. Some balconies are inside the main structure, while others are prominent, but they all have top surfaces.

2, the area size is different

Terraces and balconies are different in size and location. The common terraces are mostly located on the roof platform of buildings, and there are also large platforms built on other floors. These platforms are characterized by large area and no roof, and are generally called terraces. Moreover, the balcony area is relatively small, especially the indoor area, which is generally the living room, and the part that extends outward has a top surface.

3. Calculation of property area

Terraces and balconies not only have different areas, but also have different calculation methods of property area. Generally speaking, the balcony is not a building area, so developers often say that the balcony is given away. Whether the balcony is closed or not, if it is inside the main structure, the total area will be calculated; if it protrudes outside the main structure, the half area will be calculated according to the horizontal projection area of the structural floor.

4. Different functions

There are obvious differences between the use function of terrace and balcony. Terraces are generally used for leisure and play, and balconies are generally used to dry and place some uncommon items. As we mentioned earlier, because the terrace is open-air and has no roof, it is more suitable for outdoor large-scale parties and dinners, enjoying the cool in summer and so on.
