In the past few years, many middle-class families like to buy duplex buildings, mainly because duplexes give people an impression of atmosphere and large area.
Moreover, the duplex building can also be divided into functions, the upstairs can be used as a bedroom and study, and the downstairs can be used as a kitchen and dining room, and the two floors do not interfere with each other.
In addition, under the condition of reasonable planning and design, the duplex house will have 50-100% more space, which is equivalent to the usable space of one more suite. This has further boosted the preference for this type of home by home buyers.
However, in recent years, more and more people have begun to move out of the duplex building, and there are even old owners crying: 4 major injuries, too sad.
.01
Poor living experience
It's not as good as it could be
This troubles are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. The duplex building has a wide residential surface and a small depth, so the lighting and ventilation of the house will be relatively poor.
2. The height of the duplex building is generally about 5 meters, if the height of the first floor is not affected, then the height of the room on the second floor will be relatively low, and long-term residence will give people a sense of oppression.
3. The design of the stairs of the duplex building is complicated, if you want to save space, you must design the stairs to be steeper and narrower, which will bring some safety hazards to the elderly and children going up and down the stairs.
However, if the staircase is designed to be wider and flatter, it will take up more indoor space, and the average family will feel that it is not cost-effective.

Not cost-effective
Renovation costs are more expensive
Usually after buying a duplex house, you will face renovation problems. In fact, the renovation of a duplex building is much more complicated than the decoration of a regular house.
Because basically all duplex houses are rough houses at the time of delivery, and at the same time, there is only one floor, which is empty, so if you want to decorate it into a 2-story duplex, you need the owner to spend money to make one floor.
That is to say, compared to the decoration of a flat-story house, a duplex house not only decorates an extra layer of house, but also designs a staircase. If you don't invite a professional design, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results, and if you invite a professional design and decoration company, the decoration cost will be higher.
Even if you buy a second-hand duplex building, the decoration fee is at least five or six hundred thousand, and the unit price of the duplex house itself is higher than that of the flat floor, which is for some white-collar families, in the current high housing prices, even if you can raise enough down payment to buy a house, it is difficult to come up with a large amount of money for design and decoration.
Moreover, the area of the duplex house is larger, which also means that the monthly property fee, heating and other expenses after moving in are relatively more, which is also unbearable for ordinary working families.

Differences in liquidity
It's harder to change hands
Due to the higher decoration cost of duplex buildings, but there is still a big difference with villas, second-hand duplex houses not only have little room for appreciation, but also have poor liquidity in the market.
After all, the average wealthy person is more inclined to buy a villa, which can better show their social status and wealth, including the villa itself is more high-grade and more atmospheric.
On the one hand, this kind of residential surrounding facilities are more complete and more convenient to travel. On the other hand, because of the unique geographical advantage of this kind of residence, it is also more liquid in the market, has more long-term value, and is easier to change hands in the future.
And ordinary people generally can't afford to buy duplexes, even if they can afford it, they can't afford the huge decoration costs, plus after moving in, they have to pay higher property fees, heating bills, water and electricity and other costs every month, many people would rather buy a large flat than buy this kind of cost-effective residence.
Therefore, it is now easy to buy a duplex house, but if you want to sell it, you must sell it far below the market price, otherwise it will be difficult to realize, so that the owner of the duplex will feel very lost.
In short, in the past, middle-class families were more inclined to buy duplexes, mainly because of the unique regional features of this kind of residence, such as the upstairs and downstairs can be divided into different functions, and the living experience is better.
However, many people find that there are many defects in this kind of house, resulting in many owners who have purchased duplex houses often choose to move out, preferring to move to large flats or villas to live.
More importantly, developers rarely build duplexes nowadays, and the duplexes on the market are basically old houses, which are not only more expensive to decorate, but also have many aging problems.
