An apartment, like any other type of property, has its own specifics. Therefore, when choosing an apartment, in addition to the layout of the rooms, it is good to keep in mind some other parameters that will be important in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Apartments in our country are most often panel, EPK, brick, and sometimes they are also found in a beam or Prussian vault. You should know that the last two options \u2013 beam and Prussian vault are wonderful structures, as long as they are well maintained, but they hide many risks, such as poor-quality repairs over the years. You should also keep in mind that they are not financed in the same way by banks as other types of construction. Panels also deserve attention, as they have their own shelf life from the manufacturer. No one yet knows what happens after the end of the shelf life of a building, since lawmakers have not yet decided. According to architects, these buildings can live for at least another 100 years after the final service life provided for in the documentation. And yet, by buying a panel, you are taking a risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The entrance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact is that you can't always be guided by what the neighbors are like, as they can come and go. There may be new owners, new problems, or tenants. However, the maintenance of the entrance says a lot about the climate in the entrance or even the building. A well-maintained entrance shows a desire for development and understanding. So, if tomorrow the roof leaks or the elevator breaks down, you can count on a quick response - something that is extremely important. After all, buying an apartment means living with 10, and sometimes up to 50 other families in a common space that you have to maintain together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What's around?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Recently, wonderful buildings with a view of Vitosha Mountain were built in Sofia. Truly unique in location, position relative to the mountain, and only a few years after the end of the project and the sale of the apartments in it, no more than 3 meters in front of the balconies with the view, new buildings were built, taller and covering 100% of the view. Thus, a wonderful property becomes an unsellable liability. Therefore, look around to see if there are any vacant plots around your building block for construction, because if there are any, assume that there will probably be construction. If views are important to you, it is good to choose a high floor in a building, preferably an EPK, around which everything has already been built 20-30 years ago. This way, there will be no chance for someone to build something higher and shade your sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For repair?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people have no experience in renovations and often think that an apartment that needs renovation can simply be painted, a bathroom made and everything is ready. But behind this there are often many, many surprises. Therefore, find out if the risers have been replaced, if you have one flooring, find out if there is another one under it and what it is, if the walls are without wallpaper you are lucky, but if you have wallpaper that has been painted (check carefully, as it is often not obvious that this is the case) then you have a process of removing, plastering, priming and painting, which is already a serious feather. Go to the neighbors and ask if there are any leaks from you. Most often, the apartments on the side and below will tell you interesting stories like - my bathroom has been leaking for 15 years, or my balcony is leaking. These are the cases that you should focus on and fix first. Not only because of the neighbors, but because these are future crises and you should plan in your budget during the initial renovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directly for living<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also apartments ready to move in. You take off your shoes and enter as if you were at home. These are the best apartments because they save you months of repairs, craftsmen, dirt, mistakes, accidents, conflicts with your new neighbors. And yet, all this costs money and these properties are a little more expensive than others, but believe us \u2013 they are worth the money.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The apartment, like any other type of property, has its specifics.
