It is not easy for ordinary people to buy a house, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, so there are many factors to consider before buying a house, and they all want to buy a house that is as perfect as possible in all aspects.

Whether the location is good or not, it is inconvenient to go out; The house type is unreasonable, and it is uncomfortable to live in; The lack of lighting and the brightness of the house have to be carefully considered.

But there is one type of room that many people don't pay much attention to at first, and that is the waistline room.Anyone who knows how to buy a house with a waistline layer will not buy a house with 4 drawbacks.

What is a "waistline room"?

The waistline is the outer wall of the house, there is a circle of decoration like a belt, and the floor with this decoration is called the waistline room.

The developer designed this style mainly to make the house look good and have a sense of layering, so that it can attract more people to buy it.

It sounds pretty good, but if you really live in it, you know the doorway.

What are the disadvantages of the "waistline room"?

Next, let's talk about the four major problems of this waistline room.

1. Affect lighting

The waistline is generally convex on the outside, which will more or less block some light, and if the window is facing the waistline, the lighting will definitely be more affected.

Especially in winter, the sun is not warm in the first place, and the light is blocked by the waistline, and the house is even colder.

Netizens @西芝:

The Great Speechless Incident has happened to me! When I first bought a house, the sales were all over the place, and I didn't pay much attention to it, so it was decided.

As a result, when I handed over the house, my house was actually a waistline layer, which directly blocked half of my balcony. You have to turn on the lights at home during the day, and the living room is also gloomy in the summer. Looking for the developer theory, people still play Tai Chi. I really regret not being at the beginning, buying a house to add to my blockage!

Moreover, poor lighting will also lead to indoor dampness, breeding mold, and is not good for health.

2. There is a big hidden danger to safety

The waistline is bulging outside, and it is almost like a "ladder" for a thief.

If the floor is not high, and the waistline is easy to climb, the thief can easily climb to the window of your house along the waistline.

Also, if there are naughty children in the house, they may also climb over the window and stand on the countertop of the waistline, which may cause danger if they are not careful.

Netizens @林鑫宇:

The big injustice is me! When I bought a house, the sales blew up the waistline layer "gift platform", but I was crawled in by thieves along the waistline after just half a year!

The thief in the surveillance looked like he was walking on a flat road, and he went straight into my house from the balcony of the house next door, and took the newly bought bracelet and laptop with him. Remind everyone to buy a house lightning waistline layer!

If you have already bought the waistline layer, it is recommended to add additional safety protection facilities, such as installing anti-theft nets, etc., to minimize hidden dangers.

3. It is easy to accumulate water and leak

On rainy days, rainwater flows down the exterior wall and tends to accumulate there when it hits the waistline. Over time, water may seep through the place where the waistline and the wall are connected.

If water seeps in, the wall skin of the home begins to fall off because of water seepage, and the furniture is damaged by water, which is more troublesome. And this water seepage problem is not easy to repair, troublesome and costly.

Netizen @何苗:

At the beginning, the brain entered the water and chose the waistline layer, and now the balcony has become a water curtain hole! In the summer, it rains heavily, and the rainwater seeps down the exterior walls into the house, and the walls soak like paste and fall down.

Looking for the property to push three times and four times, the developer pretended to be dead and did not show up, and spent money to repair it three times and leaked! Now I look at the moldy wall skin and blood pressure soaring every day, and it is difficult to get rid of it if I want to sell the house.

Once there is a leak, it is necessary to remove the decoration of the waistline part first, redo the waterproofing, and then restore the decoration, which is a cumbersome and costly process.

4. Pile up garbage

Some of the waist line decorations are a large open-air platform, and if you meet people upstairs who don't pay attention to quality, it will immediately become a garbage pool.

Throw away toilet paper today, throw cigarette butts tomorrow, the key is that it is not easy to turn it out to clean, not to mention the disgusting, it will emit a peculiar smell.

Netizen @孟可儿:

The sales said that the waist line can be used as a balcony, and after moving in, I realized that this broken place is not a balcony at all, and the cigarette butts and paper towels upstairs are directly airborne! The most amazing thing is that on a rainy day, the mud and sand are piled up along the waistline, and the broom last week was almost picked out by me, and next week it will be piled up again!

If you see who threw it, take a photo or video with your phone and make a note of the time and place. If you don't see anyone, at least take a picture of the location and objects of the projectile, and then call the police to deal with it, because the high-altitude throwing object has already been punished!

How to avoid buying a "waistline layer"?

(1) Look at the floor plan

When buying a home, remember to check the full floor plan and pay attention to whether the drawings are marked with the words "waistline" or "decorative floor". The location of the waistline will be clearly marked on the regular drawings, and such floors are generally on the odd-numbered floors such as 5 and 0, or at a specific location in the architectural design.

(2) Ask the salesperson

When buying a house, you should directly ask whether the floor you choose is the waistline floor, and ask the other party to confirm it in writing and write it into the supplementary terms of the purchase contract. Some developers may deliberately not explain, so be sure to take the initiative to confirm to avoid disputes later.

(3) On-the-spot inspection

When visiting a house in the field, go to the construction site to see the façade of the house. The waistline layer generally has a pronounced transverse protrusion, about 50 to 0 cm wide. Pay special attention to whether there is a protruding platform under the window sill, this design is prone to water and dust.

(4) Look at the on-site sand table

When choosing a house, you can look at the sand table of the sales department, focus on the position of the horizontal decorative lines, and remember to take pictures to prevent subsequent non-recognition. Nowadays, the waistline of many buildings is commonly found near the 3-0 floor or the top floor, and these floors should be avoided as much as possible when choosing a room.

Finally, even if you avoid the waistline floor, you should pay attention to whether there are problems such as the equipment floor (the ducts are concentrated and easy to make noise) and the noise layer (near the elevator/street) on the adjacent floor.

When choosing a room, it is recommended to give priority to the middle area with more than 25/0 of the total number of floors: 0-0 floors for 0 floors, 0-0 floors for 0 floors, and 0-0 floors for 0 floors. These floors usually take into account daylight, noise and living comfort, so you can choose the house you want.
