In the eyes of the people, the house is really a lot of investment, so when choosing a house, many users are from a large number of real estate to choose a few more suitable for their own listing, or ask around relatives and friends to buy some dry goods, so the ultimate goal of the effort is to be able to choose a set of houses that are both comfortable to live and cost-effective.
However, nowadays, many young people are experiencing buying a house for the first time, so they have taken a lot of detours in choosing the type of house. Especially in the choice of middle houses and side households, many buyers have suffered a lot.
It is said that "smart people" do not buy side households, and whoever buys them can regret their intestines. However, there are also many people who admit that they regret buying a middleman. So which one is better, the middle household or the side household?
As I have lived in both houses, I have to say that they have their own advantages and disadvantages, and now I would like to share my personal experience after moving in.
.01
The difference between intermediate and side households
1. Differences in area and house type
Intermediate households tend to be smaller in size and compact in size, which is suitable for buyers who just need it. The side units are larger in size and have more options for house types, making them more suitable for improved home buyers.
2. Location differences
Because the intermediate household is located in the middle of the building, it is usually surrounded by other buildings on both sides, so that the intermediate household is relatively hidden and less affected by the external environment. The side household is located at the edge of the building, usually with more than two sides facing the outside, so it is more open and exposed, making the side household more affected by the external environment, such as noise, light, etc.
3. Lighting differences
Only one side of the middle unit receives sunlight and is easily shaded by surrounding buildings. The side houses have better lighting conditions, especially the houses on the east and west sides can receive more sunlight and have a wider field of vision.
4. Ventilation differences
The middle house is relatively poorly ventilated because it is surrounded by other buildings. The air circulation is not smooth enough, and it is easy to form dead corners, which affects the living experience. The air circulation of the side households is smoother, and the living experience is more comfortable.
5. Privacy Differences
The intermediary household is relatively hidden and less affected by the external environment, so it has a certain degree of privacy. Border households are more open and exposed, more affected by the external environment, and have relatively poor privacy. Especially in the northern region, the winter is cold and windy, and the border households are vulnerable to cold winds.
6. Price Differences
The price difference between intermediate and side households varies depending on a variety of factors, such as region and type of household. Generally speaking, the price of intermediate households of the same quality in the same area is lower than that of border households, because the lighting and ventilation conditions of border households are better.

Why do side buyers regret it?
From the above comparison, it can be seen that the side households have more advantages, in this case, why do they feel miserable after moving in? The main reason is because they ignore their shortcomings.
1. Poor thermal insulation effect
The biggest problem of the side household is the poor heat preservation, because compared with the middle household, the contact area between the side household and the outside world is larger, so its temperature will be closer to the outside, which is often said to be "cold in winter and hot in summer".
Especially in the northern winter, the weather is cold, and people living in border households will feel a chill. If the insulation of the exterior wall is not good enough, there will even be the problem of "cold penetration".
In addition, in the summer, the side households will feel hotter than the middle ones, especially the outer room, where the sun scorches the temperature of the exterior walls, making it unbearable.
Therefore, the temperature of the side household can only be adjusted by the air conditioner, which will greatly increase the power consumption.
On the contrary, the intermediate household has a better overall thermal insulation effect. In winter, if the heating temperature of the two side households is relatively high, they can also benefit.
2. The exterior wall is prone to water seepage
The exterior wall of the house is directly exposed to the outside, and if the construction quality is poor and the rain is invaded for a long time, it is easy to seep water on the wall, resulting in dampness and mildew on the wall.
Moreover, even if the side household has installed waterproof measures, it is still difficult to ensure the waterproof effect under the long-term wind and rain, and it will also lead to a series of problems such as mold, bulging, and peeling of the wall.
Bacteria and mould grow on the walls, which is also bad for the health of the occupants.
In this case, the property will not be responsible, and we need to pay for repairs out of our own pockets, which will invisibly increase the cost of living.
3. The western household is easy to dry in the west
The side households are divided into east and west households, among which the people who live in the west households will have the west sun, and the direct sunlight in summer is very serious, not only will it be very stuffy, but also the furniture will be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, and it is also easier to accelerate aging.
And if you live in the east side of the household, you will also have troubles, such as every morning at 5 or 6 o'clock, the sun is already shining at home, every day is woken up on time, and you can't sleep lazily on Saturdays and weekends.
4. Noise problem
Side households are usually close to roads, public facilities, or other noise sources, such as traffic noise, vocal noise, etc. These noises may interfere with the living environment and affect the quality of living.

How to choose between side and intermediate households?
Generally speaking, the middle households and the side households have their own advantages and disadvantages, which one to choose, mainly depends on their own needs, but in order to avoid stepping on the pit, I will provide you with a few reference tips:
1. Middleman selection skills
(1) Try to choose the middle household facing the corridor in the north direction instead of the elevator shaft, which can ensure a certain degree of permeability.
(2) Preferential choice of double balcony design can make up for the lack of lighting to a certain extent.
2. Side-user selection skills
(1) The horizontal hall type should pay attention to whether the north and south are transparent or realized through decoration and transformation. Try to choose the horizontal hall is the bedroom facing north and the balcony facing south, so that after opening the door, you can achieve north-south transparency and air circulation.
(2) The distance between the north and south should not be too long, and the longer the distance, the worse the lighting. Also, try to stay away from roadside households due to noise and air pollution.
In general, the middle households have an advantage over the side households. So which one will you choose?
