What are the shortcomings of the apartment? Can I buy an apartment?

Most people who want to buy a house know something about the types of houses in the real estate market, the most common one is commercial housing, but in fact, there are more than one type of houses in the real estate market. When it comes to other types of houses other than commercial houses, buyers often don't know much about them, or even don't know them at all. There are many apartments on the market now. Let's follow Bian Xiao to understand the disadvantages of buying an apartment. Can I buy an apartment?

1. What is an apartment?

Apartment is a form of collective housing, and apartment is also the most extensive form of commercial real estate investment. Apartments are more economical and practical than single-family villas. It is a life form with complete living facilities, but it only accounts for a part of the building. That is to say, sparrows are small and complete.

2. What are the disadvantages of buying an apartment?

1, short property right.

As we all know, the service life of ordinary commercial houses is mostly 70 years, while apartments are generally built on commercial or industrial land, so the property rights of apartments are mostly 50 or 40 years. This shows that the property right of apartments is shorter than that of ordinary houses.

2. Difficulties in settling down

Apartment is a project built on commercial land, so it has a commercial nature and does not meet the relevant settlement regulations in China, so the apartment cannot be settled.

3, high taxes and fees are difficult to change hands.

The taxes and fees for purchasing and servicing apartments are higher than those for ordinary commercial housing, so the selling or renting price of apartments is higher than that of ordinary commercial housing. According to China's relevant policies, ordinary commercial houses can be exempted from land value-added tax when they are traded second-hand, but not when they are traded in commercial apartments. Not only can you not be exempted from land value-added tax, but you also need to pay value-added tax, individual tax and other fees. The total taxes and fees usually reach 10% to 14% of the total house transaction price. It is these factors that make it difficult for second-hand houses to change hands.

4. Many people lead a chaotic life.

Generally speaking, apartments are mostly small-sized, so there are generally two ladders and ten households, or even more, and there are not only many people living in chaos, but also the safety and privacy of life can not be well guaranteed.

5. The cost of living is high.

We all know that apartments are built on commercial land, so the utilities of apartments are paid according to the standards of commercial electricity consumption, so the living cost of buying apartments is relatively high. For example, the charging standard of residential property water is 2 yuan/cubic meter, then the charging standard of commercial property water usually reaches 4 yuan/cubic meter; The standard of residential electricity charge is 0.5 yuan/kWh, and the standard of apartment electricity charge may be 1 Yuan/kWh. This will increase the cost of living in the apartment.

6. Poor ventilation and lighting

For security reasons, apartments are usually sealed. At the same time, because the apartment is small, the kitchen of the apartment is generally open, which naturally tends to produce lampblack, and every time cooking, the room will smell of lampblack; In addition, there is another possibility that it is secret, so if you live for a long time, you will be annoyed by the smell.
