First of all, apartments can be roughly divided into three categories.

1, rental type. For the purpose of use (tenant's own use), this apartment can be called a serviced apartment.

2. Owner's own use. If it is a self-occupied apartment, we call it condo or co-op, and each unit of condo apartment belongs to different owners and has independent property rights. The unit users of the cooperative are equivalent to the shareholders of the company.

Obviously, to define what an apartment is from the perspective of commercial real estate in a broad sense, we only refer to five or more buildings with rentalunit, not condo or coop. Although some people buy apartments or cooperative apartments for rent, it is just like buying two apartments for rent, but it is not a commercial building.

3, that is, mixing. There are usually some commercial offices, shops, doctors' clinics and so on. The other part is an apartment or cooperative apartment.

4. Type of investment, existing shareholders' houses.

Two, commercial housing (apartment) 40 or 50 years, after the expiration of the property rights, to pay the land transfer fee to the state, how to renew, is still unknown, because this form of housing apartment has not expired.

The difference between an apartment and a house

1, year

The apartment is commercial, and the utilities are calculated according to the business. The land use period is 50 years, and it is not allowed to sign an account. Residential water and electricity charges are calculated by civil use, and the land use period is 70 years.

2. Taxation

Taxes and land transfer fees paid by apartments are higher than those paid by houses, so the selling price of apartments is slightly higher than that of houses.

Step 3: Location

The common feature of apartments is that they are located in the central area, and generally appear as fully decorated small huxing. Guests are mainly long-term business customers, paying attention to convenient geographical location and quasi-hotel-style living experience, and the rent is also lower than that of hotels.

However, there are a few different products, such as Wang Zijing in Shanghai, which are large-sized ultra-luxury products, but the customer base is only high-level long-term business guests living with their families.

This kind of people usually only live for one and a half years, so they care about hotel-style enjoyment, and they don't care whether there is gas supply or not, and whether water and electricity are cheap or not. Due to some investment attributes, small apartment and low total price are very important characteristics.
