- Free planning
Apartments with free plan are now in trend and are more expensive than usual. Inside only bearing concrete walls or columns, and everything else the owner supposedly can do at his discretion. It seems like a real paradise for creativity. But in fact, the BTI plan always indicates the location of the kitchen and bathrooms, ventilation terminals, the number of rooms. Any redevelopment will have to be coordinated. That's a lot of time, money and nerves. Therefore, when choosing an apartment, look precisely at the BTI plan, and not at the allegedly free layout that the developer shows. In addition, repairs in such an apartment will be very expensive, because all partitions must be done yourself.

Natural lighting in the apartment is very important. But many new buildings on 100 square meters. m can have only 2 windows. Note that the area of windows should ideally be 1/7 of the total area of housing, the minimum norm for developers is 1/10. Therefore, such an apartment should have at least 5 windows of standard size.

At first glance, a large balcony is a great bonus, because it can be attached to the living area and make the apartment more spacious. But that's not always possible. To avoid disappointment and not think how to heat a cold huge balcony, when buying a monolithic or monolithic-brick new building, you should contact the author of the house project or the design bureau that developed it to clarify the possibility of redevelopment.

How fashionable in plans and design projects look apartments with unusual rooms. These intricate corners and niches seem like a breath of fresh air against the background of bored square Khrushchev. But the more unusual, the more inconvenient in practice. In fact, you pay for sharp corners and protrusions that are almost impossible to use functionally. So at the stage of viewing the apartment, think about where you can put the wardrobe, sofa and other bulky furniture. Sometimes a smaller area can be more beneficial for living and repair.

Along with unusual angles in fashion rounded houses. In pursuit of the external beauty of the building, architects sometimes create completely uninhabitable apartments. In one of the rooms you may have a semicircular wall. But such a living space is quite difficult to furnish with ordinary furniture. You only have to make it to order. Also, such a room is quite difficult to divide into zones or separate rooms.

If plan Only one riser is provided, forget about redevelopment of the kitchen or bathroom. You won’t be able to combine the kitchen with a hallway or living room or equip another bathroom next to the bedroom. It is great if each side of the doorway has its own supply of communications. In this case, you do not have to raise the floor level to move the wet area to the other half of the apartment.
