What is the difference between a two-bedroom 70-year-old house and a 70-year-old apartment?

Usually, the apartment we are talking about refers to a house with 40 or 50 years of property rights and a relatively small apartment area, but some netizens have consulted. When he bought a house, he took a fancy to a 90-flat two-bedroom apartment with a property right of 70 years. He wants to know the difference between a 70-year-old apartment and a 70-year-old house. Just a different name?

There are many classifications of apartments.

Have a fixed number of years

Residential refers to houses specially used for living, including villas, apartments or dormitories. There are two kinds of apartments in the traditional sense: business apartments and public welfare apartments. Office buildings and serviced apartments that are normally seen in the market belong to operating apartments. The common concept of apartment is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the first reaction of citizens is short-lived property. In fact, business apartments include business apartments and residential apartments.

As far as residential apartments are concerned, compared with ordinary houses, their area will be relatively small and the suitable groups will be different. Because the total house payment will be relatively low, the audience will be biased towards newly employed college students or residential transition people. There are obvious differences between apartment units and ordinary houses. Ordinary huxing is difficult to achieve north-south permeability, often without balconies, or even closed curtain walls and openable windows.

Many people are worried about the length of property rights. In fact, apartments and houses are of the same nature in terms of property rights. A 70-year-old apartment and a 70-year-old house have a service life of 70 years and will not shrink because of different types.

The number of years of living in an apartment is not as general as the inherent concept of ordinary citizens, only less than 50 years. The national purchase restriction has also restricted residential apartments, and the down payment ratio of residential apartments is the same as that of ordinary houses.

Citizens can make simple judgments through the land use years of apartments. For example, the land use period is 70 years. Generally speaking, apartments are residential apartments. However, business apartments are not within the scope of national purchase restriction, and the down payment ratio of business apartments is 50%. From these two points, we can clearly see the difference between residential apartments and business apartments.

The cost of living is different.

Generally, apartments are delivered with fine decoration, and the property standard will be higher than that of residential buildings, so the property fee will be higher than that of ordinary residential buildings. Take Suzhou as an example. For many ordinary houses with good properties, the property fee standard will not be higher than 5 yuan/m2/month, but the property fee standard for apartments is higher than 10 yuan/m2/month.

In addition, the occupancy rate of apartments is often low because there is no balcony and no gift space in the building area. Besides, the owner has no place to hang clothes. If it is a business apartment and there is no gas pipeline, the cost of living will further increase, and three meals a day can only be solved outside.

In the process of use, it is not difficult to find that apartments are generally in the city center, and they are all small-sized fine decoration, emphasizing convenience. Apartment pays more attention to comfort, functional completeness, service and structural rationality. Matching, the apartment should meet the standard of 24-hour elevator and 24-hour hot water.

Differences in settlement, transaction and water and electricity charging standards

When buying an apartment, there are several key differences between a commercial apartment and a residence. At this time, it is necessary to distinguish clearly. The first is the service life, and the contract will state 40 or 70 years. Residential apartments are built on land with a service life of 70 years. If they do not have the characteristics of commercial apartments, they can be identified as residential apartments. The service life of residential apartments is equivalent to the service life of the land. The real estate license should also reflect the type and service life of the property; Secondly, the categories on the real estate license are different; Residential apartments will write "complete houses" on the real estate license, which is no different from ordinary houses. Can be used for settlement, enjoy the same proportion as the house in deed tax payment. When an apartment transaction occurs, it is also exempt from business tax; In the payment of water and electricity, mainly according to the land and building purposes, do not look at the real estate license, if it is not a business apartment, enjoy the standard of civil water and electricity.

Houses of the same living type

Why is it called differently?

Since the age and nature are similar, they are all built on the same land, why are they called differently? It turns out that apartments on residential land generally refer to residential buildings whose sunshine standards and building spacing do not meet the requirements of relevant national norms. In order to distinguish it from ordinary houses, such apartments are clearly defined as "residential apartments".
