How about the top floor of a high-rise house?
"The top floor is good, of course, it also has shortcomings. It's hard to say which is bigger. In fact, in the eyes of different people, this question has different answers. The key depends on the age and economic strength of the buyer. " Yu Xiansheng, a senior real estate person, believes that the most important thing for property buyers is to find a balance between advantages and disadvantages according to their living requirements and conditions.
The benefits of the top floor include: wide field of vision, which is conducive to protecting eyesight; Good ventilation and lighting effect, saving electricity for lighting in rainy days; Less affected by external noise, no noise interference from upstairs residents, no interference from neighbors in the corridor, relatively quiet; Because there are fewer people walking, the corridor is sanitary and there is more personal space; Dry in rainy season, no need for dehumidification; Less mosquitoes; Good privacy; Prices are often cheaper and so on.
At the same time, the top floor inevitably has some disadvantages: it is hot in summer and cold in winter, and it consumes more electricity and water resources in summer than low-rise units; If there is a problem with the building quality of the roof, it is the first to suffer, which is prone to water seepage and cracks; The water pressure is generally small; The top floor of high-rise residential buildings is most afraid of power failure, and the elevator operation cost and elevator maintenance cost are more; 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.
Don't be tempted by the attic easily
Buying the top floor and sending it to the attic is also the usual means of many developers. Some property buyers can't stand the temptation, thinking that buying such a house is "a bargain", only to find that it is not the same as imagined after living in it.
Industry insiders remind buyers that some houses on the top floor give away attics, which is very cost-effective. The reason why developers do this is mainly for promotion. To buy a duplex with an "attic", we need to pay attention to four aspects: First, the height of the attic. Different floors determine whether the attic is included in the sales floor area. According to the relevant national regulations, only the part higher than 2.2 meters can calculate the construction area. The second is to clarify property rights. For the small attic less than 2.2 meters, but with the use function, the ownership of the corresponding rights should be clearly defined in the housing ownership registration. The third is to find out the calculation method. If the attic is calculated according to the sales area, it must be clear how it is calculated and know fairly well. The fourth is to find a match. In some buildings, the stairs between the top floor and the attic need to be purchased by the buyer himself or paid separately, so the buyer must make it clear in advance.
In addition, buyers need to carefully examine the structure and area of the attic. Although the attic has become a selling point to assist the sales of penthouses, some penthouses are not practical, narrow and dark, and have poor ventilation. If this is the case, they would rather not be used.
Five tips for choosing the top level
1. Although the current building technology is enough to avoid quality problems such as sultry heat and water seepage, it does not mean that this kind of property is perfect. Here, experts have concluded that five types of penthouses should be treated with caution.
You can't buy a leaky top floor. Once the top floor is found to be leaking, buyers will resolutely not buy it. "The top floor is leaking, which is difficult to repair according to the existing technical level." This means that once you buy a leaky top floor, you are likely to face the embarrassing situation of "often leaking and often repairing".
Don't buy it if there is serious water accumulation on the roof. Water accumulation on the roof often occurs in rainy days, but if the water accumulation is serious, it is not recommended to buy it. Once the accumulated water is serious, it means that the drainage is not smooth, and even if it is repaired, it may not be useful.
4. Those who have a false name should not. Nominally, although some top floors are higher than the design specifications, they are actually of low use value. For example, if the total height of some top floors is less than 4m, then the height of the attic-like part is actually only about 1 m after ensuring the normal height of the room, so this space has no other use value except as a storage room.
5. If you need to build your own floor, you should think carefully. There are several top floors in the room design process, and there are no floors, so residents need to build them themselves when decorating. This kind of project not only increases the decoration cost, but also requires higher engineering technology. "If it is not completely sealed after passing through the wall, rain is likely to penetrate through these holes."
The top floor over 10 should be checked repeatedly. Compared with today, there are still some differences in building technology before 10. At the same time, with the passage of time, building materials are also wearing away. Therefore, there are many problems in the top floor above 10, such as no heat preservation treatment, or water leakage caused by aging waterproof materials, which will affect the living to a certain extent.

How to choose a floor when buying a high-rise house?
The floor selection of high-rise residential buildings can be based on the principle that "residential buildings should be below 1/3 and 2/3 of the total number of floors". The following floors are for reference only:
First, the advantages of the following 8 floors Keywords: convenience and comfort, old people, children, landscape, high utilization rate
1. Comfortable living: Buildings below 8 floors are close to the ground, and people and scenery on the ground can be seen, giving people a cordial and peaceful feeling, and their comfort, convenience and spatial scale are better than those of high-rise buildings. It can basically meet the needs of life in terms of ventilation, lighting and sunshine.
2. Convenient access for the elderly and children at home: If there are elderly or children at home, it is best to live below the eighth floor, because the elderly are generally inconvenient to move. If they live on the high floor, it will be even more inconvenient to get in and out, and the water supply at home will be cut off because of power failure, and it will not be affected on the low floor.
3. Low price and high space utilization rate: developers generally design the space of this floor flexibly. For example, 1 floor has basement, garden, garage and other spaces, while other floors have terraces, sun rooms, patios and other layouts. These spaces are often sold and given away, and buyers can get more housing area with little money. Nowadays, many high-rise residential units are designed as "short depth and large area", which greatly broadens the horizons of residents and makes the indoor ventilation and lighting effect better.
Advantages of the 9 th to 20 th floors Key words: ventilation, lighting, vision and low living costs.
1. Good ventilation and lighting: It has the advantages of both high-rise and multi-storey houses. Indoor ventilation and lighting are better than multi-storey houses, and it has a practical sense of living. Looking out of the window in the room, you can see the scenery facing the area at a glance, and the view is very good. Of course, the price is higher than other floors, especially the high-rise buildings along the river, parks and business districts, which are generally more expensive than the low-rise buildings.
2. Low cost of living: Property service companies generally use the middle floor of the house as the benchmark for charging. For example, if a building is 20 stories high, taking 10 as the benchmark floor, the elevator use fee and elevator maintenance premium of each floor will increase or decrease accordingly.
2 1 Floor or above Advantages Keywords: ventilation, lighting, privacy, and vision.
1. Excellent ventilation and lighting: High-rise residential buildings have high advantages and will not be blocked, and they have absolute advantages in landscape, ventilation and lighting. Ventilation and lighting are basically unaffected by external factors, which are incomparable to multi-storey houses in terms of ventilation flow, lighting area, greening scenery and sunshine time, with less dust, noise and light pollution.
2. Good privacy: High-rise residential buildings have good privacy, and can be free from or less disturbed by the surrounding environment, and personal privacy is strong.
3. Wide field of vision: High-rise buildings have wide field of vision and better lighting effect. Living in a high-rise building, opening the window to see the scenery, you can have a panoramic view of the distant scenery, add a little interest and taste to life, greatly meet people's home landscape needs, fully embody the humanized concept of modern housing, and bring residents a sense of accomplishment.
