Hi, can you please advise me on your thoughts of ground floor apartments. I was supposed to be buying a first floor apartment and the estate agent has just contacted me to say that " another estate agent " has already sold it.
Hi, can you please advise me on your thoughts of ground floor apartments. I was supposed to be buying a first floor apartment and the estate agent has just contacted me to say that " another estate agent " has already sold it. It is a new development. There is only 2 floors - ground and first floor with car park underneath. I guess I have to accept that I don't get the first floor apartment ( I've only paid holding deposit ) but I was wondering what peoples thoughts / experiences were with ground floor apartments ie noise etc. Thanks !
Agree with most of the sentiments so far. I lived in a ground floor apt for 2 years and experiences some positive and negative aspects. As others said, we had to keep blinds down for most of the time for privacy. We had a couple of attempted break ins. And resale value wasn't as high as for apts oh higher floors, although that wasn't really an issue as it was cheaper in the first place because it was ground floor. There are some plus points as others have mentioned. We had double doors to the front and after doing a weeks shopping could just park the car on front of the doors and carry all the shopping through, rather than struglling up stairs. Similarly, on a frosty morning if i came out to my car and the windows were iced up I could pop in and out the double doors getting hot water until it was clear. This posed a bit of a problem for people in the penthouse! And at the weekends I could park my car outside the double doors and drag out the hoover to clean it out.
So I definitely wouldn't be put off buying a ground floor apt, there are good points as well as bad, once you go into it with your eyes open
