You really can’t live on the 4th, 13th and 18th floors? Don’t choose the wrong floor when buying a house

Nowadays, with the acceleration of urban modernization, land is becoming more and more scarce, urban housing is getting higher and higher, and high-rise residential buildings have become the mainstream of the market. And many people think that the air at height is better, the noise is less, and the view is wider, which prompts developers to set prices for higher floors, and the price difference between some floors is even as high as a few thousand.

So which floor is best for buying a house?

Is the higher the better?

Before answering this question, let me first educate you on how high a floor is considered to be a high-rise building? Please take a look at the following:

It can be seen from popular science that generally high-rise buildings are above 12 floors. In this article, the editor has compiled the floors that you should never buy when buying high-rise buildings for your reference. However, this is not an iron rule. Of course, it will vary from person to person based on needs.

1. Never buy low-rise floors

Let’s first talk about low-rise floors that are generally not favored by home buyers, especially young home buyers. From the first floor to the third floor, people usually Living under the canopy of trees, very close to the ground, you can often hear the branches tapping on the windows; in terms of psychological comfort, this is the best place; you can maintain a realistic connection with the outside world without looking down at people. And even if the elevator is broken, you can still easily climb the stairs and treat it as exercise. If an unexpected event occurs, such as an earthquake, collapse, fire, etc., it will be easier to escape.

But living close to the ground also has disadvantages: the first to third floors are very close to the ground. Although you get a sense of psychological comfort, the air circulation in the lower floors is slowed down, there is high shadow and humidity, and the ventilation is poor. The pollution is also serious. In some old communities, moisture will return to the basement and it is more susceptible to mosquito infestation. In addition, the first floor is the least quiet. If it faces the street, noise from cars honking on the road and shopping mall broadcasts will also affect normal work and rest. Open an Internet cafe near the shops along the street. Don't even think about sleeping in a mahjong parlor or anything like that at night.

Then there is the problem of lighting. Because the floors on the 1st to 3rd floors are lower, the lighting is obviously worse, and the field of view is not wide enough. Most of the field of view is basically blocked by the surrounding buildings. This is also the case for many young people. One of the important reasons for not liking low floors. In addition, the first floor is the most vulnerable to theft.

2. Never buy a high-rise building facing another building

Many young people like to automatically block the low-rise floors around the 1st to 5th floors when going up, thinking that the air in high-rise buildings is fresh and noisy. There are few and the scenery is very beautiful, but the premise is what kind of environment is the surrounding community where you live? You also need to have scenery to see first, right? If there are no mountains or water around the high-rise building you live in, and all you can see is the "back of your head" from the balcony in front of you, can "enjoying" all kinds of photoelectric pollution in the city be considered a good view?

In addition, it is not advisable to blindly pursue the landscape effect. Each floor of the building has its own specific advantages and also faces certain problems. When buying a house, you must make a decision based on different needs. .

Price is also an issue to consider when choosing a floor. The prices of houses on different floors are also different. For example, for high-rise buildings below 8 floors, the price difference from high to low is 50 yuan to 100 yuan, and for houses above 8 floors The price difference on each floor ranges from 200 yuan to 300 yuan, with a slight decrease towards the top. The price of floors with scenic views is 500 to 1,000 yuan higher than other floors. A floor with a view is naturally good, but when you think about paying nearly 100,000 yuan for it, you must think twice before committing. In fact, as long as you live comfortably, it will be fine. Maybe you purchased the landscape layer and had no time to enjoy the view after moving in, so the extra money you paid was wasted.

3. Don’t buy the top floor.

If this high-rise building has a rooftop pavilion, of course you want the top floor. When you are in a good mood, you can go to the sunroom to bask in the sun and enjoy the breeze. Xiaofeng, drink some tea, it’s beautiful! If you don’t have an attic, don’t even bother with the top floor. Not only will it be “warm in the summer and cool in the winter”, which will make you want to stop, but over time it will leak, and there may also be air leaks outside the sewer pipes...

4. Never buy the equipment layer

The equipment layer is the layer with heating, power supply or water supply hub equipment. In terms of Feng Shui, in addition to the equipment layer that cannot be purchased, the layer below the equipment layer also needs to be purchased with caution because the pipes and equipment above the head are not conducive to the feng shui of the room. In contrast, the layer above the "equipment layer" is better. At the equipment level or the level below it, equipment noise, mechanical vibration, etc. will have a negative impact on the living environment.

Scientifically speaking, water wells are mainly used for secondary pressurization of high-rise water pressure. They are usually located in corridors with cabins, and the main impact is noise at night. Electric wells mainly cause radiation. Because they are also in the corridor and very close to the body, the influence of voltage cannot be ignored. So when buying, don’t buy on the middle floor, because almost all water wells and electric wells are placed on the middle floor. For example, on the 32nd floor, they are placed on the 16th floor.

5. Many people are taboo about the 4th, 13th and 14th floors: numbers are not innocent

Many people do not like the numbers 4, 13 and 14 when buying a house, so now many developers Just use the "transfer" method and replace it with some letters such as D, E, F, etc., or directly skip these two numbers. The top of the 3rd floor will be the 5th floor, and the top of the 12th floor will be the 15th floor.

The main reason is that everyone should know that the number 4 is taboo among Chinese people because "4" has the same pronunciation as "death". After adding "1", "14" becomes "一四", which is approximately equal to " I'm going to die"! This won’t work, it’s too unlucky and needs to be changed! Such numbers must not appear in elevators, nor on floors or even house numbers.

The number 13 is taboo among Westerners because of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", in which Christ Jesus and his disciples ate together, and the 13th person attending the dinner was Judas.
