What is an apartment? What is the difference between a house and an apartment?

The characteristics of apartments are suitable for business and living, mainly in the aspects of apartment design, property management and supporting facilities. The land nature of most apartments is public land, and there are strict requirements and standards in construction, such as no balcony, planned spacing and so on.

Residential refers to the houses exclusively for living, including villas, apartments, dormitory for employees' families and collective dormitories, dormitory for single employees and dormitory for students. But it does not include the basement used as civil air defense and uninhabited in residential buildings, nor does it include special-purpose houses such as nurseries, wards, sanatoriums and hotels.

1, different property rights.

The biggest difference between an apartment and a house is the difference in property rights. Although there are no restrictions on the use of houses, the use of land property rights is limited. Usually, the land use period is divided into 40 years, 50 years and 70 years, including 40 years for commercial land, 50 years for industrial land and 70 years for residential land.

2. Different property management.

Under normal circumstances, the nature of apartment land is public facilities, and the appearance of the building needs to be controlled according to public building standards, and developers are not allowed to set up balconies. In addition, the planning of building spacing also needs to be carried out in accordance with public building standards, and corresponding supporting service facilities such as property management rooms are set up in apartments according to relevant regulations, while houses for residential land are not subject to relevant restrictions.

3. The utilities are different.

The tax point charges for apartments and houses are also different. As we all know, the water and electricity charges of residential buildings are charged according to the standards of civil water and electricity; The apartment belongs to commercial housing, and the utilities are charged according to the commercial water and electricity standards. In the long run, the water and electricity expenditure of residential buildings will be at least half less than that of apartments.

4. Different settlement rules

Because the apartment is a house built on commercial land, the apartment belongs to the commercial nature, so the apartment can not be settled. If it is residential, according to the different requirements of different regions, as long as certain conditions are met, buyers can go through the formalities of settlement.

5. Different taxes and fees

There are different taxes and fees for apartments and houses. Usually, apartments pay more taxes than houses. For example, a tax, if you meet the only residence of the family at the same time and the purchase time is more than five years, you are exempt from paying a tax. However, if the property sold is a non-residential property, a tax must be paid under any circumstances.
