What is an apartment with a free layout

In the new buildings market, you can often find such a thing as an apartment with a free layout – what it is and how to perceive a potential buyer? Whether this is one large room in which you can install partitions of your own free will, making an apartment with any number of rooms, or something else?

Free layout is an opportunity to make any number of rooms in the apartment by the buyer himself, both for each window around the room and a room for several windows. The main thing is the mandatory binding of the kitchen and plumbing rooms to the riser.

Advantages and disadvantages of an apartment with a free layout

Like everything else, apartments with free layout have both their own advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, a person can equip his housing as it is convenient – by increasing the number of rooms as much as possible or making one large room, any configuration and area – everything is as he and his family. Including change the number of bathrooms and various utility rooms.

However, when acquiring such housing in a new building, it is impossible to immediately move into it, since in fact, it will be an empty concrete box, which must be equipped for a long time and stubbornly to your tastes. This is the floor screed, and the primer of the walls with the conduct of the wiring in them, and the construction of interior walls, and finishing.

Due to the crisis, developers gradually began to increase on sale the number of apartments with draft or finishing for finishing-that is, apartments are sold already in the form almost ready for living. In such apartments, you no longer need to build partitions and do all the black work – it is done for you, that is, at least the apartment is listed as with a free layout. In fact, it is already completely planned. It costs a little more than an apartment without finishing, but its value in the buyer’s eyes is just that you do not need to withdraw an apartment and repair a new one, but you can immediately enter and end the redistribution for yourself already in a new place. In addition, it is difficult to coordinate such an apartment (not yet completed) with BTI and other organs.
