&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; Buying a house is the most concerned topic of the Chinese people. There are many types of houses in the real estate market, among which the most common are ordinary houses and apartments. Although these two kinds are the most frequently contacted in the process of buying a house, many buyers still don't understand the difference between ordinary houses and apartments. So what's the difference between ordinary houses and apartments? This article only gives you a detailed comparison and introduction. Let's have a look.
What are the types of houses?
Housing is classified according to policy attributes: public housing, commercial housing, affordable housing, limited price housing, low rent housing, small property right housing, fund-raising housing, housing reform housing, self built housing, stock housing, poverty relief housing, affordable housing and re listed housing.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of real estate in the real estate market. The two most common types are ordinary houses and apartments, but some buyers know little about the difference between them. In fact, there are many differences between them. Let's popularize how apartments and houses are defined and what are the differences between them?
1、 What is an apartment?
Apartment is the most extensive form of commercial real estate investment. Apartment houses were first imported, which are more economical and practical than single family villas. Apartment houses in early big cities were high-rise buildings. There were several single family suites on each floor, including bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, etc., which were mainly used for middle-income senior staff and government civil servants at that time; Another part is attached to hotels for short-term rental by some frequent Chinese and foreign businessmen and their families.
It is a living form with complete living facilities, but only accounts for a part of the building.
2、 What is an ordinary house?
Ordinary housing is not equal to ordinary housing, and the two cannot be mixed. Ordinary housing generally refers to the whole building, while ordinary housing refers to a single house.
Ordinary residence refers to the house built for residential purposes according to the local general civil residential building standards. At present, it is mostly multi-storey residence and high-rise residence.
3、 What is the difference between the two?
1. Years of property rights
The most obvious difference between apartment and ordinary residence is the age of property right; Although there are no restrictions on the use of houses, the use of land property rights exists for a long time. Generally speaking, the service life of land is divided into 40 years, 50 years and 70 years, of which the service life of commercial land is 40 years, that of industrial land is 50 years and that of residential land is 70 years.
2. Charging standard of water and electricity charges
In addition, apartments and ordinary houses are also different in terms of water and electricity charges. Because the house belongs to civil housing, the water and electricity fee is naturally charged according to the standard of civil water and electricity; The apartment belongs to commercial housing, and the utilities are charged according to the standards of commercial water and electricity. The charging standard of commercial water and electricity is much more expensive than that of civil water and electricity. In this way, if it takes a long time, the water and electricity expenditure of residential buildings will be at least half that of apartments.
3. Living comfort
Different living comfort is also the difference between residence and apartment. Generally, there are two ladders, three households or four households in residence, so there are relatively few personnel, which will not cause trouble to travel. At the same time, personal privacy can be well guaranteed. In an apartment, the number of people living is not only large but also messy. Therefore, if you live here, your own security and privacy can not be well guaranteed. Combined with the above points, we can see that there is a great difference in the living comfort between houses and apartments.
4. Daylighting
It is reported that there are differences in lighting conditions between houses and apartments. Some apartments have no windows in their bathrooms and kitchens, and the balcony is also an inner balcony. In this way, the lighting conditions are naturally not very good.
According to the code for design of residential buildings, houses must meet sunshine, daylighting and other relevant conditions. Therefore, most of today's houses are bright kitchens and sanitary guards, and daylighting is naturally much better than apartments.
5. Settlement regulations
In terms of settlement regulations, there are also differences between residence and apartment. Apartment is a project built on commercial land, so it is commercial in nature, so it can not be settled. However, if it is a residence, according to the different requirements of different regions, as long as certain conditions are met, the buyer can go through the settlement procedures.
