When choosing apartments, it is important to familiarize ourselves with the area, the quality of the housing and all other factors that are important to us.
However, many people are not clear about the different concepts related to the area of a home. In this article, we will look at the basic concepts and give tips on how to understand them.
Bright area
The clear area is the size between the walls in the apartment, not including any internal walls or walls. This is the area we see when we enter a room.
Designers use the light area when taking the dimensions of a home they are going to furnish.
Net residential area (GNA)
Net residential area includes all premises that are considered residential and intended for living.
It includes bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and other rooms that are independent and intended for the residence of people. The zoning includes the areas of internal walls, corridors, balconies and terraces that are connected to the dwelling.
Common parts
The common parts of the building represent segments of it that are necessary for the proper functioning of the common space.
These segments include staircases, corridors, common areas and the like. In addition to this, the common areas also include the partition walls – the internal and external walls that separate the individual units in the building.
Each owner of property in the building has the right to use the common areas, but is also obliged to maintain and maintain them in a condition that meets the standards and rules of maintenance of the building.
N-room or N-bedroom apartment?
When presenting a home for sale, there are two different ways to describe the number of rooms. In some states, it is mandated that each dwelling be advertised as N-bedroom and the number of bathrooms it has be emphasized.
This is a more specific and concrete way of presenting the home. In Bulgaria, however, there is no established standard for this and people have different preferences.
The most commonly used description is an N-room apartment, where N stands for the number of bedrooms. This information is supplemented with the number of bathrooms and other important characteristics of the home.
Conclusion
Understanding the concepts of net living area, common areas and light area of a home is essential when choosing a suitable home.
The net living area includes all the rooms that constitute a dwelling, the common areas are the areas that are shared by the owners in the building, and the clear area is the size between the walls in the apartment.
To present a property for sale, we may use descriptions such as N-room or N-bedroom, combined with the number of bathrooms and other important features.
