Cities are actively built up with new housing complexes. With such a variety, it is very easy to get lost and choose not what you need. Today we will consider what to pay attention to when buying an apartment in a new building, so as not to regret your choice and money spent.
Conditionally, the selection criteria can be divided into two types: those related to the apartment itself and those that relate to the housing complex where the apartment is located. The choice of housing is always a compromise, because the apartment can be attractive in layout and price, and the LCD itself can be without infrastructure. Therefore, the priorities in choosing an apartment should be divided into main and less significant.

Choosing a new building developer
It is with the study of the reputation of the developer that it is worth starting the search for his apartment. Because if the company is bad, there is a risk at all without housing. You can check the company on the website of the Unified Register of Developers. You also need to find out which LCD company has already built and what the owners write about them. The conscientious developer will have on hand a building permit, a project declaration and an agreement on the right of ownership of land. Additionally, the company can be checked on the FTS website (by the TIN number) or at Domklik.Sber.
Infrastructure around the LCD
It should be evaluated by the area where the new building is located. It is useful for young residents if there are shops, a gym, a public transport stop. Family people are much more important that the hospital, kindergarten and school be in walking distance.
If there is no school or kindergarten nearby, but they should be built by the developer, then you need to keep in mind that the garden or school may open with a delay or not put into operation at all. In Moscow, there are no such problems, but in the regions the situation is more difficult. If the developer in previous LCDs has already built schools and kindergartens, then most likely in his new houses he will also make them.
The company needs to find out how many places these institutions are calculated. For example, if there are about 6 thousand apartments in the LCD, and the school is only a thousand seats, then the children will have to study in constrained conditions. There are approximate standards and they show that at least a thousand inhabitants there should be 100 seats in the school and 50 places in kindergarten.

Also in the area of the LCD there should be a hospital or at least an ambulance. In an emergency, this can save life.
Do not forget about the police station, because the criminal situation in the area depends on its presence. There are remote new buildings where there is no police station nearby. This means that in an emergency, the police will go for more than 10 minutes. The rowdy and robbers are well aware of this and feel more freely.
It is very convenient if the LCD is located near the city center. However, it is better to analyze the loading of the road from the new building to the center. Because on the map a residential building may be not far, but you will have to go to it in constant traffic jams, spending a lot of time.

Ecology near a new building
The overall trend for environmentally friendly gave rise to many LCDs with natural names. In almost all advertising booklets, houses are literally drowned in greenery. However, often such new buildings have nothing to do with a favorable environmental situation.
If the LCD is located next to the forest or grove, then you should check the status of these lands. This can be done in the cadastral map. If the site does not have a security or municipal status, then the trees can be cut, and in their place to build another LCD.

It is desirable that the LCD be far from the industrial zone. There they can process garbage or produce chemistry. All this is accompanied by a noise and an unpleasant odor. Also unpleasantly smelling of fish and sausage workshops include.
If there is a parking lot of public transport or a motor transport company next to the LCD, then this is also not the best neighborhood. In the early morning, drivers start buses, and this noise spreads throughout the district along with the smell of diesel.
Even small repair car workshops can repair cars at night, thereby creating a sharp noise that will interfere with sleep.
Infrastructure of the housing complex
It is also worth paying attention to the size of the LCD. Many people think, the larger the territory of the LCD, the better. In fact, this is not so. A huge territory of dozens of hectares will be difficult to maintain in order, and it can simply turn into a desert without greenery. It is better when the territory is small and fenced. Containing a compact yard is easier and cheaper.

The space around the LCD will be safer if the entrance is equipped with a gate, and not a barrier. So there are more chances that outsiders will not fall into the territory, because any person can pass under the barrier.

Previously, an indicator of good residential complex was the presence of a large number of parking spaces inside the yard. Now they leave this, and the territory looks more solid, where parking spaces are located not directly under the entrances, but a little away from the houses. So the yard remains free, there you can plant greens, make a sports ground and walk calmly with children, not afraid of parking cars.

The number of storeys of the building
The number of storeys directly depends on the comfort of living. If there are several houses in the residential complex and they are all over 10 floors, then many people will live there. This threatens with bursts for public transport, traffic jams, lack of parking spaces, noise and other inconveniences. It is psychologically unpleasant to be in such LCDs, because you see only buildings with windows around.
It is better when in the residential complex consists of houses with different storeys. It looks more pleasant because the space is diverse and the windows are not standing at the windows.

The material from which the new building is built
Houses in residential complexes are now frame-monolithic, brick and panel.

The frame-monolithic houses have a frame, which is filled with walls of brick or aerated concrete. They are considered seismically stable and durable, but they have one minus: shock noise passes perfectly in this design. Therefore, if someone is drilling on the ground floor, then vibration can be felt on the last. Completely brick houses are usually warm, but usually low -rise. Panel houses are now heated qualitatively, and they are no longer as cold as before.
The floor of the apartment and its location in the entrance
Now we smoothly move on to those parameters that are more related to the apartment itself, and not to the housing complex. If shops are located in the house, it is better to choose apartments on the 3-4 floor. So there will be less noise. This can be seen on the plan of the house. They usually indicate the areas of commercial premises their entrances and technical outputs.

If there are no shops, then the second or fourth floor is optimal. So you can not depend on the elevator. It is better not to buy an apartment near the elevator mine, noise from driving mechanisms will constantly come to the room.

Where the windows go
There are a lot of nuances that need to be studied before buying an apartment. It is bad when the windows are above the entrance to the supermarket or store. In the mornings, the apartment will enter the apartment from trucks with goods, and during the day – a rumble from visitors. Also not enough when the windows overlook the road. Dust will fly from it, and cars will create excess noise. It is optimal if the windows overlook the courtyard.

Layout
It is most convenient if the layout has a square or rectangular shape. Such a space can be used to the maximum. Narrow corridors, rooms with rounded shapes, several small balconies – all this does not allow using the area effectively. It is convenient when the kitchen has an area of more than 15 m2, there is a dressing room, and instead of small balconies, a spacious loggia.

Type of heating
Now there are apartments in new buildings that are equipped with their own heating boiler. This is the most convenient solution, because you can not depend on the common house boiler room. You can use heating and hot water at any time. No need to wait for the beginning or end of the heating season. This is especially true in the offseason, when the heating has not yet been turned on, and it is already cold in the apartments. Plus – individual heating is much cheaper than the main.

Equipment of the apartment and the possibility of redevelopment
When studying the plan of the apartment, it is important to pay attention to the presence of load -bearing walls and columns in the apartment. For example, if the kitchen is small, and a carrier wall between it and the living room, then these 2 rooms will not be able to combine.

Also, when buying an apartment, it is important to pay attention to its equipment. Some developers can seriously save by leaving balconies without glazing or without making interior partitions. They can put a cheap front door or poor heating radiators, which will lead to significant costs in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to ask representatives of the company what exactly will be included in the price of the apartment, in addition to the walls themselves.

Fining from the developer
The pre -lane and finishing decoration is cheaper than if you do it through other companies, but it is devoid of an individual approach and is not always of high quality. Therefore, this is not such an important parameter when buying an apartment.

Conclusions on the choice of new buildings
You should choose an apartment in a small residential complex where from 2 to 8 houses with different storeys. It is better when the territory is small, fenced from all sides and has a gate for entry, not a barrier. Then the space will be well -groomed and green and outsiders will not get there. It is convenient when parking for cars is not inside the yard at the entrances, but along its perimeter. Nearby with the LCD there should be a school, a kindergarten, an ambulance, as well as a public transport stop. With commercial spaces, modern LCDs usually have no problems.
The apartment should be selected so that the windows are not near the supermarket or road. So the dwelling will penetrate less noise and dust. It is better when the layout of the apartment has a square or rectangular shape, without rounded rooms, narrow corridors and small balconies. In this case, the area of the apartment will be used to the maximum.
