Have you heard of it? In real estate circles, there are four floors that are jokingly referred to as "taboo floors". These floors are not comfortable to live in, and it is difficult to sell! Curious, what are the four floors? Let's take a look.
Buying a home is a big deal for everyone. Everyone wants to buy a house that they are happy with. However, some floors are shy away from buyers for a variety of reasons. Saying goes! "Buying a house depends on the floor, and the details determine success or failure!" So what is the story behind these forbidden floors? Should we really believe these claims? Now, let's unravel the mystery together.
The first floor without a garden
Houses with no yard on the first floor are generally considered less popular. Why? First of all, it is susceptible to environmental influences such as dust, noise, and mosquitoes. Safety is also important, and buyers need to consider this. The house on the first floor is a place that thieves like to visit, so the security is naturally low! Not to mention that the lighting on the first floor is usually not good, dark and damp, which is not good for the mood and health of the residents.
The second floor which is easy to return water
When it comes to the second floor, many people think of the word "rebate". This is because the second floor is often the most affected when the sewers are clogged or when it rains heavily. Imagine coming home from work and finding your floor full of sewage. And the second floor is more susceptible to noise from the street than the first floor, and there is no open view of the upper floors! In this way, the living experience on the second floor is really unsatisfactory.
The floor next to the bottom merchant
If you live on the floor next to the bottom merchant, you will have to endure a lot of trouble. First of all, the bottom merchant often drives late, and the noise is definitely indispensable. The chatting of customers and the roar of shops and machines can disturb the rest of residents. In addition, from time to time, various smells waft out from the bottom merchants, and the restaurants are the hardest hit areas by oil smoke. Living on this kind of floor, even if the windows are tightly closed, the noise and smell outside cannot be stopped. In this way, the comfort of living is naturally greatly affected.
There is no attic on the top floor
The top floor does have a great view and privacy advantage, but without the loft, this advantage can become a disadvantage. First of all, hot in summer and cold in winter are the most obvious problems. Because the top floor is directly exposed to sunlight, the room temperature can easily rise in summer. In winter, it can get particularly cold due to the lack of upper insulation. And there is also a waterproof issue to be aware of. If there is a leak in the roof, it will be troublesome to repair it, and the lives of the residents will be seriously affected.
Although each of these floors has its own problems, there are still many buyers in the property market who are willing to take the plunge. Some people think that the "taboo floor" is just a folklore, as long as the house is of good quality, it may not feel bad to live in. Others believe that these problems can be overcome as long as the price is right. For example, someone will install an anti-theft net on the first floor and close the curtains. The second floor or the floor close to the ground floor may be soundproofed. As for the top floor, residents can install air conditioning and insulation to cope with inclement weather. In this way, these small problems are not major problems.
Everyone's needs and expectations for the living environment are different, so the choices are naturally very different. However, the issue of floors does have to be seriously considered when buying a house. After all, the house is for comfort, and convenience is also crucial.
