Features of duplex construction

Duplex is the most profitable option, but you must follow the rules and regulations.
A duplex building is a building divided into two parts, which has a main entrance divided into floors, while the neighbors share a roof and one wall, which can unite either only rooms or garages. Each cottage is a residential building that owns up to 30 acres of land.

Duplex construction appeared in the 19th century in England, based on the fact that when the children grew up, they created their own family, but preferred to live next to their parents - a new house was being completed to the second wall of the house. Each half of the house had its own bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

The most common mistakes buyers make:
does not talk about his plans;
does not examine the surroundings;
does not pay attention to the facade;
pays no attention to the interior.

In case of agreement and coincidence of interests, it is better to fix the deal in order to immediately protect yourself. Because country houses are in great demand and the buyer can be offered a better price for selling the house;
The lack of shops, pharmacies and other facilities, as well as the presence of empty areas in the future may lead to full development. And you can only dream of high-quality environmentally friendly air;

If the house was built recently, this does not mean that it was built with high quality and will stand for many more years. It is necessary to pay attention to the supporting structures, the repair of which will cost much more than the cost of the house. In the best case, it will be necessary to order professional advice from specialists, as well as check the basement and roof. It is better to identify the problem in time than to scold yourself later.

Many buyers are faced with the fact that the seller shows the house along with household appliances and furniture. And the buyer thinks that everything is included in the price, under such circumstances, you should clarify what exactly is included in the price of the house, and if possible, take a picture of all the objects, make a list and let the seller of the house sign.

However, it is better to notarize everything and come to inspect the house in the company of one or two more people, but before that, make a list of the most necessary things that should be in the house.
