Which floor to buy a flat on

When searching for the ideal property, we also take into account factors related to the building in which it is located. The floor is quite important. We will focus on describing the advantages and disadvantages of flats on the ground floor, on the top floor and on the intermediate levels. Find out which floor we think you should buy a flat on.

Flat prices and the floor

The price of a flat often strongly influences our choice. Buying a property is a major investment, which has to be carefully thought through and matched to your means. The floor on which a given property is located can significantly affect the price. This depends on the advantages of a given level and on its popularity. The cheapest flats are those on the ground floor, especially a low ground floor. Attractively priced listings also often concern properties on the top floor of the building, especially if there is no lift.

A ground-floor flat

Agents often advise against ground-floor flats, but many people choose them anyway. Let us start with the advantages of a ground-floor flat. It is definitely a convenience, for example, for older people. We reach the property quickly and do not have to climb many stairs. It is certainly also a convenience for people raising small children. An additional plus comes with properties that have a garden. Gardens usually belong to ground-floor flats. The darker sides of such a flat are limited privacy, vulnerability to faults and difficulty heating the space. If a problem with the plumbing or drainage arises in the building, the damage will affect the ground-floor flats. Ground-floor properties are more exposed than others to potential burglaries. One last problem is limited access to light in the flat, caused by other buildings or trees.

Which floor to buy a flat on – a property on the top floor

The top floor in a tenement building or a block of flats can also be problematic. The biggest problem arises when there is no lift in the building. Remember that buildings with up to four floors do not have to have a lift. The advantages of the top floor in a block include a terrace that belongs to the flat, an interesting view, and good natural light. Temperature fluctuations, a leaking roof and difficult access can be problematic.

Intermediate floors

Flats on intermediate floors seem to be the most neutral and the most often chosen. An additional asset is certainly the warmth that stays in the flat, because the property is heated from all sides. Such flats have the most contact with neighbours.
