Real Estate March 1st, 2010
Buying property abroad is not as easy as buying clothes at the mall that could be taken immediately, paid, and then taken home. Before buying property abroad, you must understand the rules that apply in the two countries.
Well, the first thing to understand is the rules of property ownership by foreign citizens (foreigners). In Indonesia, foreigners will not get the property when buying property. However, not abroad. “There could be property, but there is also the right to use,” said Anton Sitorus, Research Manager of Jones Lang La Salle.
With property rights, of course you will be benefited. Therefore, these products will be yours forever. However, if you only use right pocket, a right that was true a few years.
In Singapore, for example, there could be property, there is also the only use rights. “But the right point in a long time, is 99 years,” said maikel Tanuwidjaja, Assistant Marketing Manager Far East, a company the largest private property developer in Singapore.
If you already understand the rules, then it is time buyer chose property projects. Factor to consider is the location. “For those who want to invest, certainly should be able to choose a location that could be profitable in the future,” said Anton.
Choose a strategic location, close to transportation access. In addition, close to public facilities, such as hospitals, malls, and educational center. Also make sure that the apartment is not in a flood area. “If the flood area, fitted later sold again, the price falls,” said Anton.
Then, consider the legality of factors. However, you do not worry fled the apartment developer mangkrak project or building specifications that are not in accordance with drawings and brochures on billboards. “In Indonesia, probably many cases like this, but never overseas,” said maikel.
When the Lower Bathroom Kitchen or the Upper Garage
Bath Showers February 24th, 2010
I live in shophouses. I made the 2nd floor of homes, while the 1st floor functioned as an office. The kitchen where I cook situated above the bathroom for the existing offices on the 1st floor. How this composition in Fengsui?
Placement on the kitchen bathroom / WC often occurs in the shop building (home stores) or a shophouse (home office). In Fengsui research, there are some experts who allows, there is a space prohibits such arrangements.
Which allows, have a logical enough reason. Bad energy from the bathroom, even when there is leakage or clogging the bathroom line, can not flow directly downward. Thus the pollution will not occur in the kitchen. But in this case still must be considered one thing, the ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen ventilation.
Meanwhile, some experts are making this composition as a prohibition argued that the kitchen must be kept clean or even “sacred”. Because of that, kitchens should not take place as above a dirty bathroom. This composition is considered
not feasible so that it will contaminate and hinder the quality of provision owner. This opinion is also justified because the same purpose for the good of the quality of life.
The Importance of Ventilation
In the case of bathroom and toilet, wherever situated, Feng Shui is always stressed the importance of a well ventilated. Ventilation is a gap for light and air circulation. Without good ventilation true clan, even where the bathroom is correct according to the calculation Fengsui, still will bear problems for residents of life.
The bathroom was closed and dark, of course, will save the Yin energy so great that disturb the harmony values. Yin energy is growing wild and this is known as qi or air Sha killer. so, for light and air circulation can be run well, the position under the bathroom kitchen can still be justified.
To avoid adverse effects that may arise, should the position of the stove is not directly above the toilet or water reservoirs. This position will be defined as “occupied the fire element water”, so the provision would extinguish life.
If it can not design a good ventilation for the bathroom under the kitchen, it’s better to avoid such designs.
Care And Cleaning
Factor in maintenance and cleanliness of kitchen and bathroom are absolutely necessary on an ongoing basis. Can we imagine if the channel is prone to clogged kitchen is suddenly dead end and liquid waste drips into the bathroom below. The air in the bathroom will not karuan mixed so smelly that could stifle. Automatic people will breathe a headache.
Please note that the enclosed space like a bathroom that contains air Sha Qi, when a leakage of waste from the kitchen on the top line, will increase the quality of Sha Qi. Surely Sha Qi contains a deadly germ.
So whether or not the location of the kitchen in the bathroom more determined at least good light ventilation and air circulation. In addition, this condition is also influenced by how we take care of bathroom and kitchen are located bertindihan. If both these conditions can be fulfilled properly, the bathroom in the kitchen still has a good value according Fengsui.
