The apartment in the new house assumes that no one has lived in it yet, no one has done repairs and installed nothing. Most often, such a house is sold with one of the finishes: rough or clean. Roughing suggests that the room is not actually suitable for living in it, the surfaces are only prepared for further repairs. On the one hand, it gives an opportunity to show their imagination and design abilities, on the other - it is the need to do repairs and understand the details of leveling walls and other works. For those customers who want to immediately move to a new house, developers offer already renovated options. Finishing - this is actually a ready repair, you can move to such an apartment right after purchase.
Features of finished apartments
Buyers need to take into account that finishing - this concept is not completely established, each developer implies its parameters. Usually in such an apartment:
- flat floors and a covering on them (a laminate or any another);
- smooth plastered walls with decoration (painting, wallpaper, etc.);
- installed plumbing;
- installed sockets and switches;
- laid tiles;
- installed the door.
Some developers are also proposing to install a stove in the kitchen, while others are reducing this list.
There are no legally defined concepts of clean and rough repair, these are just concepts that are used for convenience in the sale or purchase of real estate. Therefore, the developer has the right to call a clean room condition, which the buyer will classify as a draft. It turns out that you can find out in which room the rooms are in reality, you can only visit it and examine it on the spot.
Advantages and disadvantages
Finishing the apartment is an opportunity to get rid of the hassle associated with the repair, of course, it has its advantages:
- you can move to the apartment immediately after processing the documents;
- Do not need to spend a lot of time looking for a team of builders;
- if the buyer is not familiar with the technologies in the construction, to take into account all the norms and not to make mistakes for him it will be almost impossible, therefore the ready repair will be very appropriate and practical.
But all that is done without the participation of the new owner, can not be deprived of cons:
- the quality of materials and work performed can be very different from those declared;
- will have to agree to an already ready design, even if the color of the walls or the flooring does not match the taste of the new owner;
- if the owner of the apartment decides to do something, the owner will have to pay it, and what was installed earlier will simply go to the garbage;
- The cost of the apartment already includes finishing, which can significantly affect the amount. Repair can be done gradually by investing certain sums, and for the finished apartment will have to pay all at once.
It turns out that complete finishing - this is a good option for those who are ready for any conditions, just not to repair. Another nuance about which everyone knows who had repair work done in the house is that constant control is needed for the construction. Yes, it's time, inconvenience, the need to solve a wide variety of issues, but only so you can be sure that the plaster will not fall off tomorrow, the wallpaper will not fall off, and the leaking plumbing will not cause a new repair from neighbors.
How is it: for finishing?
There is another option: buying an apartment for a fine finish. In this case, all premises will be ready for the final stage of repair, but the owner of the apartment can choose the materials and plumbing. Such repairs are much easier, do not require particularly dirty work, the apartment will be ready to move quickly enough.
Finishing in a new building is an opportunity to skip a noisy and dusty stage in moving to an apartment, but in this case you will have to rely on the conscientiousness of the builders and their choice of materials.
