Regarding "stealing area", we have to admit that it is a good marketing tool. In the eyes of buyers, the house price is so high, why not give away the area? Developers also like to improve the selling point of huxing by designing some gift areas when designing huxing.
But "stealing area" is really not that simple.
As we know, the construction area refers to the sum of the plane areas of each floor measured by the external wall line of residential buildings. It represents the economic index of building scale. Crucially, as long as the developer does not close the area, it is not a building area.
What tricks have developers used to steal the area?
Common technologies mainly include the following:
1, low bay window and floor bay window
Generally, the wall with windows protrudes outward, and then the windowsill is placed in a lower position, and then made into glass windows, which will protrude, commonly known as "bay windows." The architectural design stipulates that the space below 2.2 meters is not considered as an area. Generally, the height of the convex window area does not exceed 2.2 meters, and the "stealing area" is successful.
2. Balcony and family garden
Balcony and home garden are only half the area in architectural design. By designing large gardens and balconies, it is a common way to "steal area". If the balcony or garden is big enough, you can also create a room.
3. Large terrace
For example, when the house is accepted, the balcony is not included in the area. After acceptance, the balcony will be closed into an independent room to achieve the purpose of stealing the area.
4, half basement
Semi-basements and basements generally appear in the basement, and many places have regulations. Semi-basement whose height does not exceed 1.5 meters above the ground is not included in the number of floors above the ground, and the area is not included in the ground area. This area generally cannot exceed 2.2 meters. If it exceeds the height of 2.2 meters, you need to calculate the approximate area.
5. Height
By increasing the storey height, the space utilization rate is improved. This technology has been widely used in apartments, loft, duplex apartments and other commercial and residential units, and the height can reach 4.2 meters, 4.4 meters or even higher, realizing the purpose of changing one floor into two floors.
The above are some commonly used skills, and the following are more ingenious skills.
6. Air Force
Also known as air corridor and air garden, there will be an air passage between the two units, so that the two owners can use more space and divide it into their own private space.
7. Air-conditioned seats become balconies
Some developers have designed independent concealed air-conditioned seats, the height of which is controlled below 2.2 meters. The air conditioner is placed in the upper part of the whole space, and the lower part has won about 1 square meter for the owners.
What benefits can "stealing areas" bring?
1, there is no need to pay the cost for this part of the usable area, and buyers can get considerable discounts.
2. After the total area is increased, the utilization rate can be improved through reasonable transformation.
3, bay windows, terraces, etc. To improve the comfort of the apartment.
Risk of "stealing area"
1, you can't write in the real estate license, but you have to spend money to buy it! You can't get this part of the proceeds when you sell the house.
2. This kind of "expandable area" can't pass the acceptance. Developers are marketing tools in selling faster houses, and it is still a question mark whether they can fulfill the contract in the later period.
As for "stealing area", it sounds very complicated, but it is actually very easy to understand: when designing the apartment, the developer can pass the acceptance according to the building survey code, so that some parts of the apartment are not included in the housing area.
