Regret buying a penthouse with a loft.
1, it's inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs.
Generally speaking, young people like to have an attic on the top floor, but it is not good to have an old man at home, and it is not convenient to go up and down the stairs to get things. With these people, they will find it troublesome to climb up and down. In case the old people accidentally slip on the stairs leading to the attic, this is no small problem.
2. Housing quality problems
If there are quality problems in housing construction, then the attic with attic on the top floor is washed by real estate enterprises, which is prone to cracks and water leakage. After the general building is completed, there is a sinking process, which will lead to some cracks in the wall. These cracks belong to normal cracks, but the cracks on the top floor are more obvious.
3. Low living comfort.
Many people feel comfortable living in the attic on the top floor and having their own little world. In fact, the living comfort of the attic is very low, which can be simply summarized as "cold in summer and hot in winter". In winter, the room temperature of the house with attic on the top floor is very low, especially in the process of melting, it is shivering with cold. In summer, the attic is closest to the sun, so it needs a lot of air conditioning electricity to maintain the temperature, otherwise it will be extremely hot.
How about a house with an attic on the top floor?
Generally speaking, a house with an attic on the top floor has advantages and disadvantages. As follows:
Advantages of an attic with an attic:
1, wide field of vision
Everyone likes the feeling that other mountains look small under the sky ... a room with an attic on the top floor can meet your needs. It's also good for your eyesight to overlook often.
2. Good ventilation and lighting effect
The house with attic on the top floor has good ventilation and lighting. The floor is well lit and ventilated, and the room lighting is definitely no problem. If the room faces north and south, the ventilation effect will be good and the fresh air can be maintained at home.
3, little influence by external noise
Buying a building with an attic on the top floor will not be disturbed by the residents upstairs, nor will it be affected by the sounds upstairs and downstairs. Very quiet. It is very good for families with old people or children at home.
The disadvantages of attic with attic:
1, Leng Xia fever in winter.
In summer, I feel the sun is hot, the room temperature is relatively high, the air-conditioned refrigerator runs for a long time, and I need to spend more electricity. If there is a problem of sunburn, it will be hot enough in summer. In winter, the room temperature is low. On snowy days, it is still warm when the snow covers the roof, but the melting snow takes away a lot of temperature, and the home feels extremely cold.
2. Water seepage and cracking
If there is something wrong with the building quality of the roof, it is the first to suffer, which is prone to water seepage and cracks. After the general building is completed, there is a sinking process, which will lead to some cracks in the wall. These cracks belong to normal cracks, but the cracks on the top floor are more obvious.
3, the water pressure is small
The water pressure is generally relatively small.
4. High cost
The top floor of high-rise residential buildings is most afraid of power failure, and the elevator operation cost and elevator maintenance cost are many.
5. There is no elevator
There is no elevator on the top floor, and it is very difficult to climb stairs, which is not suitable for families with elderly people. The floor is high, and I basically don't want to come down after going up. Moving things requires more physical strength or handling fees. For people who don't like sports, they often spend time in their rooms on weekends or holidays, and there is a great possibility of getting fat. I have to sell my house when I get old.
6. There is a smell
The bathroom will smell, because the ventilation pipe is on it, and all the smell will come from the first floor.
The above is the reason why I regret buying a duplex with an attic. Generally speaking, buying a duplex with an attic has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that living on the top floor has a wide view, good ventilation and lighting, and is also greatly affected by external noise. But the disadvantage is that it is hot in Leng Xia in winter, which is easy to leak and inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs. So I suggest that you should consider whether to buy a duplex with an attic according to the actual situation of your family.
