People belonging to different cities sometimes prefer living in a new house and sometimes prefer living in an old house. The ones who can’t afford buying an entirely new 10 marla house in Lahore prefers buying the older ones.
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of an older house. Some of them are discussed below
Advantages of an Old House:
The way in which an old house has been constructed may be appealing to a number of people. The woodwork with specific designs which one is unable to find in today’s world attracts a number of buyers who have some sort of interest in ancient designs. The way in which specific walls have been made without using modern machinery does attract a number of people. They have been built in such a way that people prefer living in them instead of buying a completely new 10 marla house in Lahore and hiring an interior designer for it.
New houses which are being built might be similar in s number of ways. But an older house might not be similar to any other older house in many ways. At ancient times a number of builders who constructed houses use to think a number of designs in their mind before implementing a specific design on a house. Like this different houses which were constructed have a number of different designs.
Another advantage of an older house is that these houses have a bigger yard as compared to a number of new houses. Bigger yard means that a person has more space for a variety of rooms or one can even include a big garden for the children to play. If anyone wants to distance themselves from their neighbours due to a number of reasons then these older homes with a larger yard are more helpful than new houses in which a neighbour is living exactly next to you.
Disadvantages of an Old House:
There can be a number of times when even an older house isn’t maintained properly. If one is planning to buy it then he might have to work on the repairment of the house. There are chances that he has to spend a lot of money on it.
A variety of old houses used wallpapers instead of painting a specific house. Now the person who wants to his house to be painted will have to do a lot of effort in removing those wallpapers. The floor may be in a bad condition too. An individual who is buying that house has to work a lot on the floor work too. A number of appliances which were used by the people residing in that specific house must also be upgraded.
One may also have to check a number of safety and a number of health concerns before one is planning to take an old house. Safety measures include repairing the broken wires to ensure that one doesn’t face any sort of serious issues in future. Safety measures include a number of safety alarms that need to be installed before one is ready to shift in a specific house.
These all things should be checked thoroughly before one opts for buying these old houses.
