Disadvantages lofts
A disadvantage of the loft can be called the inability to register, which is a significant disadvantage for Russia. The fact that it was originally non-residential premises, but even after the conversion "official" status of such housing is not changed. Do not believe the developers, who tell stories about the translation of such apartments in the category of residential premises in Russia has not yet happened. However, despite the fact that lofts are usually less than elite apartments, their buyers problems with registration no, since a loft usually is not their only property.
Another significant disadvantage can become a bustling office behind the wall. Since the lofts are not classified as dwellings, and there is no regulations that prohibit their conversion into a working space.
At the moment, quite a large number of developers are buying up and redeveloping former industrial premises, as the demand for loft apartments currently exceeds supply.
And finally, too high operating costs can also be considered a disadvantage. Lofts are considered real estate, so they often supply a variety of frills – pool, Concierge, security... For such "bonuses" residents of course pay out of pocket. Such expenses are allocated among all tenants, and the lofts are not too much. So that the amounts can be impressive.
