It doesn't matter if you want to buy an apartment in a new building or on a secondary market, the study of the building in which it is located, you need to pay close attention. First, decide which walls are better?
Brick - reliable and warm
This material is considered very practical. Subject to the rules of construction and operation, such buildings can stand up to two centuries without major repairs. That is why in Soviet times, housing for the party elite was built mainly of bricks. Such houses are more prestigious today than reinforced concrete ones. Not least because of environmental friendliness. Their walls "breathe", maintaining an optimal microclimate in the premises: warm in winter and pleasant coolness in summer.
Monolithic frame construction - strong and modern
Nowadays, brick high-rise buildings are practically not built - frame-monolithic technology has won the championship. The structures erected along it are durable, they can be used to implement any architectural and planning solutions - from vast spaces without partitions to apartments with a curved configuration.
Concrete panels - cheap and fast
These houses "grow" quickly, their cost is relatively low, which makes the prices for such real estate the most affordable. And yet they are the least attractive to buyers. There is a significant drawback here: the joints of the panels (seams) are the most vulnerable places for cold and moisture. Housing is always less warm than in analogs, sound insulation leaves much to be desired, and the possibility of redevelopment is limited.
Choosing the height
The advantages of high floors are a lot of sunshine, a beautiful view from the window, no street noise and insects, clean air. But this does not apply to apartments under the roof itself - they may have problems with the flow of rain and snow melt water.
The lower tiers are comfortable for elderly residents and families with small children, especially if there is no lift. However, the premises can be damp and colder, the feeling of discomfort is caused by constantly slamming entrance doors, the risk of intruders entering, street noise and dust, an abundance of mosquitoes and flies.
Therefore, the most popular is apartments for sale from the second to the penultimate floor. A separate issue - multi-level "high" apartments and penthouses - the demand for them among wealthy buyers is stable. An object with windows on a crowded street can also be expensive if it can be used to equip an office, shop or other commercial establishment.
