There were many reasons for regretting buying a loft apartment. First of all, from the perspective of the cost of living, the water, electricity, and property fees were two to three times that of ordinary houses. For example, for the same 60-square-meter house, the water and electricity fees of the loft apartment may reach 900 to 1300 yuan per month, which brought a heavy economic burden to the residents. Secondly, in terms of the number of years of property rights, ordinary residential property rights were more than 70 years, while loft apartments were generally only 40 - 50 years old. From the perspective of long-term residence, this meant that spending the same amount of time to live in a loft apartment was equivalent to spending money in vain. In addition, the living comfort level was relatively low. After being transformed into a loft apartment, the height of the house was limited, mostly 2.5 - 3 meters. In addition, the attic would make the space cramped, and the residents would easily feel depressed, especially if there were old people, fat people, or people with poor hygiene habits in the family. The "difficulty" of living here would be more obvious. In terms of living environment, due to the obvious commercial nature of the loft apartment, there were many mobile people and residents, and the living environment was noisy. The privacy protection of the residents was also poor. Also, there were many inconveniences in the functions of the house. For example, there was no heating and natural gas, and cooking could only rely on induction cookers, which was a great pity for people who loved cooking. At night, if the loft apartment's stairs were designed to be narrow and steep, it was easy to fall in the dark, which posed a safety hazard. Second-hand loft apartments were cheap and difficult to sell. If they were to be sold, the transaction tax was as high as 25%. The layout of the house seemed novel, but the space utilization rate was low, and there were many dead corners. The utility fee was charged according to commercial standards, and the cost was high. The soundproofing effect was poor, and the neighbors could be heard clearly. The high and low floors were oppressive and the lighting was generally poor. There was no school district, and it was a problem if children went to school. The apartment was generally multi-family, and the waiting time for the elevator was long. There were basically no public entertainment facilities. There were many roads downstairs, and the environment was messy. The mixed residents were not conducive for children to find playmates.
Whether a Chengdu loft apartment was worth buying depended on many factors. On the positive side: - ** Space utilization advantage **: For example, some smaller loft apartments, such as a 21 square meter small apartment with a floor height of 4 meters, can be transformed into a LOFT apartment. The space utilization rate can be optimized and the sense of space can be expanded visually. The second floor can be divided into different functional areas, such as the study and bedroom. Even if the space is not large, the functional areas can be maintained, allowing the residents to enjoy a variety of living functions within the limited space. - ** Price/performance ratio **: Some loft apartments located in the core areas have relatively high price/performance ratio. For example, some apartments in the core area of the double TOD three-railway hub were surrounded by super high supporting facilities. There were many office buildings, universities, etc., which brought high net worth people and renters. The rent of the surrounding two apartments could reach more than 3000 yuan per month, while the down payment of such apartments was about 250,000 yuan, and the monthly payment was about 2600 yuan. They had a high rate of obtaining houses, and the real area was relatively considerable, which was attractive to investors. - ** Design flexibility **: In terms of design, it can meet a variety of individual needs. For example, the first floor could be made into an open space, using an integrated design to integrate the living room, dining room, and kitchen into the same space to enhance the sense of spaciousness. At the same time, the brightness and penetrative sense could be improved through reasonable selection of colors (such as white walls and floors); In terms of storage, the design of a horizontal hanging cabinet and a bottom cabinet could be used to maintain cleanliness and order; The bathroom was made into a half-wall style to increase the penetrative sense and decoration. However, there were also some disadvantages: - ** Property rights and costs **: Many loft apartments are commercial in nature. The term of ownership may be short, and the cost of living such as water and electricity is relatively high. - ** Location difference affects value **: Not all loft apartments are located in premium locations. Some apartments that are further away from the subway (such as an apartment at an airport 1.2 kilometers away from the subway) will have reduced transportation convenience, which may affect their living experience and investment value. Overall, if it was an investor, a loft apartment in a central location with complete facilities and considerable rental income might be worth considering. If it was an owner-tenant, it needed to consider the cost of living, location, individual needs, and other factors before making a decision.

Different types of customers have different needs in apartment sales projects, such as self-occupied buyers with limited budget.(Most of them are young people who use apartments as a transition), investment customers (but currently, investment customers are significantly reduced due to various factors, such as the economic environment favoring bank financial products, low rental returns, difficult to transfer second-hand apartments, high taxes, low premium, etc.), big customers (optimistic about the development of the sector, buying multiple units at once or even the entire floor for personal use or rental) and other situations will affect the sales of apartments for sale. Moreover, although there was news that Guangzhou had stopped approving new apartments, the documents related to the news were internal documents and were still under further communication and research. However, many apartment projects for sale had already put up posters related to "scarcity".
