The designer tells you how to choose the apartment type when buying a second-hand house.

Interior designers tell you from the perspective of decoration, what kind of house is more worth buying, and what pits and minefields you may ignore.

Regarding huxing, I believe that the small partners who intend to buy a house should read a lot of information on the Internet and know the difference between huxing and huxing.

But many friends want to listen to Fan's opinions, so I specially asked our designers to give some suggestions that are rarely mentioned on the Internet from the perspective of decoration experience.

You can also refer to these points when buying a new house.

Regarding Feng Shui, our view is that the comfort of living should be put in the first place, regardless of whether it is valued or not. Feng shui is for human use, not imprisonment.

Position position position

As a real estate, no matter whether it is self-occupation or investment, lots are always the first consideration, and there is no one.

Traffic, commercial facilities, commuting time, education, medical care, noise and the quality of neighbors are all linked to the location.

Real estate is not our strong point, but according to the experience of many of our customers, it is best to pay attention to the immediate convenience and say that it is useless in the future, and the subway in the future can't take you to work now.

Investment, on the other hand, cares about the ratio of return on investment to risk, and sometimes takes a fancy to the development potential of a region.

Determine your own needs

How many houses to buy and how big to buy are all issues that need to be considered in advance, and we must do what we can.

In the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, buying one or two square meters less is the key to changing from medium decoration to luxury decoration.

How many years does this suite change? Do you have the idea of having a second child? These seemingly distant problems also determine the positioning of the current housing purchase plan.

Whenever our designers meet the needs of two houses, three houses and four houses, there will always be a headache: don't change it, it's not enough to live; Yes, the living are uncomfortable. The apartment that was originally good has become worse.

The depth of the room should not be too large.

The wall near the window of the room is called "wide", while the two walls perpendicular to the window are called "deep".

The depth of the room is too large, which means that there is insufficient lighting and ventilation near the room. The only solution is to make up for it by artificial lighting, and the effect is definitely not as good as natural lighting.

If the depth increases, the corresponding ground width should also increase.

Many small huxing developers are stuffed in the corner between large huxing, with long and thin planes, and the windows of the whole family only open towards the short side. This kind of house lighting is a big defect.

▲ The width of the living room is 3.8m, but the depth from the balcony to the entrance is10m. The lighting of restaurants and porches will have a certain impact.

The balcony is not as big as possible.

Picking too many balconies is equivalent to increasing the depth of the room in disguise, which will also affect the lighting.

In 2006 and 2007, in order to steal the "rhythm" of area and exterior wall modeling, a large number of houses with odd floors and double staggered balconies were built in some areas.

In this case, there will always be a balcony of someone else's house directly above the window of the room, which will greatly affect the lighting, but it is particularly depressing that Kaiyang Terrace can not increase the room area.

Now new houses have abandoned this design, but pay attention to buying second-hand houses.

Pay attention to the load-bearing wall and the places that cannot be changed.

The apartment type is unreasonable. Wouldn't it be nice to tear it down and re-plan it when decorating? That's not necessarily true.

Under no circumstances can load-bearing walls and shear walls be dismantled, which is a problem we have emphasized many times and is related to building safety.

The solid wall painted black on the official drawings represents the walls and columns that cannot be demolished, and the drawings given by the property shall prevail in the end.

When buying a house, unreasonable huxing can indeed be repaired through a certain degree of demolition, but this demolition is by no means unprincipled.

As for the brick-concrete structure of the old house, don't tear down any walls, buy whatever you want.

In addition, pipes and ventilation shafts cannot be moved. Some properties stipulate that balconies cannot be sealed and bay windows cannot be removed. Be sure to consult clearly before buying a house, otherwise you will draw a blueprint in your mind and there is no way to implement it. I can only gnash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

The kitchen and bathroom location is the most important.

As long as the property permits, you can tear down the walls of the whole family and turn the bedroom into a living room. The bedroom can be changed at will, but the kitchen and bathroom involve all kinds of pipes, so it is almost impossible to change places.

So, when you get the floor plan, first look at whether the location of the kitchen and bathroom is reasonable.

In addition, the kitchen and bathroom also largely determines the quality and convenience of life. If there is no plan to smash the wall, the kitchen and bathroom area is slightly larger and better to use. Whether it is dry-wet separation or increasing kitchen storage, there is enough room to play.

▲ The location of kitchen and bathroom is unreasonable, and only the wall can be demolished to expand the area, and the change is very limited.

Don't have too many French windows and bay windows.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows and large bay windows look imposing, but reduce the effective use area of the wall. It was possible to nail the partition to the wall and make a whole closet, but now it is impossible.

There is no way to put the table and cabinet in front of the floating window, but it can only be empty, which is not conducive to the use of space.

In particular, the corner bay window is a landscape at the expense of a corner, which also needs attention.

In addition, the window has always been a short board for building thermal insulation and sound insulation. The window is too big, and the air-conditioning electricity bill goes up together. This is really not a bluff.

▲ Furniture higher than the window sill should not be arranged in front of the floating window, otherwise the window sill area will be wasted.

See which decorations you can use for yourself.

We never advocate tearing the second-hand house blank regardless of the willy-nilly, which is a great waste.

If you want to save the cost of decoration, you can check the decoration in the house when you look at the house, and which parts can be kept for use.

The most valuable decoration is the pure solid wood floor. As long as there is no mildew and no large area of flooding, you can ask workers to polish and repaint, just like newly bought wood. Some wood that people used to choose may not be produced at all now.

Even if only a few floors are moldy and damaged, they can be removed and replaced from hidden parts such as the bottom of the bed and cabinet, and then filled with new floors.

However, many former owners' furniture partners may not look up to it. If you planned to replace all the furniture a long time ago, try to negotiate with the former owner to get rid of it in advance.

At present, recyclers of old furniture don't take everything as everyone thinks. More often, we have to pay a considerable disposal fee (which can be regarded as garbage disposal fee) to transport these unnecessary old furniture.

Property determines the quality of life

Finally, I would like to add my own personal experience: the property is really related to the quality of life, and the small-sized apartment in the rich area is better than the large-sized apartment without property neglect management.

One way to explore the quality of property is to look at the greening, security net and balcony of the community.

▲ The maintenance of lawn is very troublesome. If the lawn can remain green after several years of delivery, the property must be very good.

The service is well done, and the greening of the community that has paid the property fee is usually well done; If there are enough parking spaces, no one will park on the green belt.

On the other hand, a good property usually has many rules, the biggest embodiment of which is the maintenance of the architectural appearance.

It is forbidden to install anti-theft nets and uniformly close balcony-style properties. Public security measures must be excellent, and the owner's willingness to obey management indirectly reflects the quality of neighbors. In addition, clean architectural appearance also contributes to the overall appreciation of residential real estate.

Finally, we want to remind everyone that even if the house is worth thousands of dollars, your life and happiness are the most precious.

Most friends who are concerned about living in Faner may have bought a house to decorate and live by themselves.

Life is short. In the house where you live, comfort always comes first. It's no use spending thousands of dollars if you don't live comfortably. Never put the plow before the oxen.

This answer comes from living well with users, many decoration strategies and home experience. Welcome to the Life Good APP.
