Is the gift area really free? If you don't understand these things, you will suffer a big loss.

In order to attract you to buy a house, developers often use "gift area" as a propaganda slogan, but since these gift areas are the ones you deserve. "Buying a house and giving it an area" does not mean that you must earn it when you buy it. On the contrary, you are likely to suffer losses. So what is the "gift area" they use to promote?

first of all, we must understand that the so-called "gift area" is actually not a concession given by developers spontaneously, but a national regulation, and they should be free in the first place. The national regulations are as follows:

If the clear height of the basement is less than 2.1m, it is not an area;

if it's a terrace, it's a totally complimentary area;

if it's an attic, the area with a clear height of less than 2.1m is not counted;

If it's a garden or there is no closed balcony, it's only half the area;

If it is a bay window, it should be divided into floor-to-ceiling windows and bay windows for analysis. If it is a bay window, it is not an area. If it is a floor-to-ceiling window, it is not an area with a clear height of less than 2.1m..

what is the true face of "gift area"?

1. "Stolen" area: The area given to you by the developer may be a part of the interior construction area reduced when building a house, and then this part of the area is given to you as a gift area, which is the "stolen" area.

2. The area illegally built: The area given to you by the developers may also be the area built by themselves by changing the planning and design without authorization. Such an area is illegally built and cannot be compensated once it is demolished.

3. * * some areas: some developers send gardens to property buyers, but in fact, they circle a piece of public green space as a garden for property buyers. Once they buy it, the result is either to dismantle it or to let the owners share it and bear the losses in vain.

Let's take a look at how various forms of "gift area" are generally "operated"!

1. Terrace

For the gift of terrace, the developer will mark the gift area with eye-catching slogans in the model room.

A terrace is a platform with enclosure facilities, which is set on the roof, ground floor or awning for outdoor activities. According to Code for Calculation of Building Area of Building Engineering (213 edition), water tanks and decorative structural members of balconies, outdoor swimming pools, flower stands and roofs are not included in the building area.

some developers will delimit the terrace indoors and become a part of it in the later design. Since it is not included in the construction area, the terrace is actually not priced.

2. Bay window

The living room with bay window has good lighting and ventilation.

Bay windows, when viewed from the indoor to the outdoor, are generally rectangular or trapezoidal and protrude to the outdoor. Glass is installed on three sides, and the height of the windowsill is lower than that of ordinary windows.

according to the code for calculation of building area of building engineering, "the convex (floating) window with the height difference between the window sill and the indoor floor below .45m and the clear height of the structure above 2.1m shall be calculated as 1/2 area according to the horizontal area of the outer periphery of the enclosure structure. Convex (floating) windows with height difference between window sill and indoor ground below .45m and structural clear height below 2.1m, and convex (floating) windows with height difference between window sill and indoor ground above .45m shall not be counted as construction area ".

the bay window that is not included in the sales area can't actually collect money, so the developer didn't give it to the buyers.

3. Semi-enclosed balcony

Outdoor balcony can be used for outdoor exercise, watching, enjoying the cool and drying clothes.

the outdoor balcony refers to the balcony outside the main building. According to the Code for Calculation of Building Area of Building Engineering, the balcony in the main structure should be calculated according to the horizontal area of its structure periphery; In the balcony outside the main structure, 1/2 area should be calculated according to the horizontal projection area of the structural floor. In other words, when the developer said that he would give you a balcony, he might actually give you only half the area.

4. Small courtyard

Small courtyard can be used as a vegetable garden, or it can be opened as a garden by individuals.

a small courtyard generally refers to a small courtyard on the first floor, which can be used as a small garden or developed into a vegetable garden as a gift area for property buyers. In fact, the yard on the first floor should belong to the public area, and there will be no surveying and mapping area of the yard on the property certificate of the buyer. It is also a room with a small courtyard on the first floor. The unit price of the house with a small courtyard will be slightly higher than that of the house without a small courtyard.

5. Attic

The attic is on the top floor, and it is hot in Leng Xia in winter, so it is not suitable for living.

The attic is generally located on the top floor, and the roof of the house has a certain slope. The attic can be designed as a bedroom, study or storage room, with a relatively large area. According to the Code for Calculation of Building Area of Building Engineering, for sloping roofs that form building space, the whole area should be calculated for the parts with clear structural height of 2.1m and above; 1/2 area should be calculated for the parts with clear height of 1.2m and above to below 2.1m; The construction area should not be calculated for the parts with clear height below 1.2m m. Whether the area is really given to you depends on the clear height of the attic. If it is below 1.2m, the developer actually doesn't give you the area.

6. Basement

The basement is dark and damp, and it is usually used as a storage room.

Basement refers to the building space below the ground level. According to the Code for Calculation of Building Area of Building Engineering: "Basement and semi-basement shall be calculated according to the horizontal area of the structure periphery. If the height of the structure is 2.2m or above, the total area shall be calculated; If the story height of the structure is below 2.2m, 1/2 area shall be calculated. " If the developer gives a basement with a height of less than 2.2m, it is actually equivalent to giving half of the area to the buyers.

what should I do if I encounter a "gift area" when buying a house?

we must make it clear that the area given by developers is not necessarily given to property buyers. Secondly, if it is really a gift, it will also recover the cost in terms of house price or fine decoration.

1. There is no charge for the gift area

As mentioned above, public balconies, bay windows with a height of no more than 2.2m, small courtyards on the first floor, attics, basements or semi-basements with a height of less than 2.2m are not included in the construction area according to national policies. Excluding the construction area means that this part of the area does not need to be purchased by property buyers. Developers use this part of the area to give property buyers some "sweetness", so that property buyers think that they have got a huge discount, and the housing transaction process is smoother.

2. Houses with real donated area have higher prices

For example, independent terraces and semi-enclosed balconies, developers attract buyers by giving away half of the construction area, but generally the unit price of such houses is higher.

The reason is particularly simple. Developers will not do business at a loss. If the house price per square meter of construction rises a little, the cost of the donated area can be earned back, so you know ...

Special attention: the donated area is often not written in the contract or in the property certificate. There is no basis, and in the event of disputes in the later period, it is difficult for buyers to defend their rights. Therefore, if the other party claims that there is a gift, it is necessary to ask them to write down the specific contents in the contract, or sign a supplementary agreement, which must be written down, and indicate that' the area of the gift part also needs to enjoy the same rights as the main contract', such as quality assurance, maintenance and other service contents should be implemented in accordance with the main contract.
