| I know a number of expats who live in village houses.
Pros:
There is the independence of the housing unit from wall/floor-sharing (have I just invented a new piece of grammar?) neighbours, the increased overall space, the better use of space, the increased net space (no space lost to lift lobbies etc), free (uncovered) parking.
Cons:
No estate management, 24-hour security, covered parking, often a distance from MTR and bus stations (or is that an advantage?), bottled gas, thin floors could be a problem if you don't buy the whole house and ADSL broadband may not be available. |
