A penthouse apartment is generally considerably more advantageous than other dwellings in a building in terms of square footage. If you want a larger property at a relatively affordable price, a penthouse apartment may be the right choice for you. In this article we will introduce you to some advantages and disadvantages of these apartments

Advantages:

- You have no neighbors above you. This eliminates the possibility of unpleasant noises or repairs above the shaft disturbing the peace

- The view - a great advantage if you like to enjoy the scenery in the surroundings and the distance. Sometimes mansard dwellings have spacious terraces, which adds extra romance and the possibility of arranging a summer or winter garden in your home.

- The Light - invades the tops of buildings to the greatest extent because of the height and lack of obstructions, so expect your apartment to be constantly brightened by it.

- Bevelled ceiling - a disadvantage for many people, but it can become an idea for a quirky and more extravagant furniture layout

Disadvantages:

- Room temperature. Due to the location of the property - at the top of the building, temperatures will be higher in the summer and lower in the winter than the apartments on the lower floors. This can of course be avoided by installing insulation, which many new buildings have.

- Moisture - Top floor apartments are prone to damp and mould if there is a problem with the insulation fitted

- Elevator - in the event of a failure of the building's elevator, getting to the top floor is most uncomfortable, especially when carrying heavy objects or belongings.
