Many people dream of buying comfortable housing. A beautiful, well-maintained apartment with a large area, which is located in an elite building for a Russian citizen with an average income is not quite affordable. But I want to realize my dream no matter what. A landscaped courtyard with modern playgrounds, a stadium, a concierge who greets at the entrance, a strict security guard, parking with an elevator, an engineering system of the house using the latest technology - the pleasures that you want to receive every day.However, many happy newcomers, when purchasing their dream apartment, do not realize that they will have to pay for all the delights of luxury housing for their whole lives. Having saved up for a rather expensive apartment, the future owner should understand that the payment for all the advantages of luxury housing will be calculated from day to day. And the payment is not small.What the owners of elite housing pay for, as in the case of ordinary standard apartments, payment for "elite" includes utility and maintenance payments.Utility bills consist of payments for cold and hot water supply, sanitation, electricity, gas, and heating.Utility tariffs are regulated by the state and do not depend on the comfort of housing. But, nevertheless, the owners of apartments in an elite building will have to spend more. This is because paying for these amenities is not limited to the apartment itself. Lighting of common areas such as the entrance, parking, garage and the surrounding area, and payment for it will fall on all residents of the house. Water costs will increase due to watering lawns and flower beds. It should be noted that there are many more common lighting fixtures in luxury homes, and lawns are watered more often. The indicators from the communal meters are removed, and the amount is divided among the tenants.The second type of apartment expenses is maintenance payments. This is the cost of maintaining and repairing the premises. This includes payment for services and works related to the management, maintenance, current and major repairs of common property. Repair costs for owners of luxury housing will be much higher, as it is expected to use more expensive building materials. For apartment owners in luxury homes, there is one type of maintenance payment in the form of additional costs.However, monthly investments in luxury housing are not limited to "communal services" and operating costs. The point that distinguishes the cost of business class apartments from the average and economy housing is additional payments.If the first two components have common payment rates with a small overpayment, then it is precisely because of the additional payments that the rent for luxury housing differs significantly from the payment for a regular apartment. Additional charges are charged for the amount of frills that make these homes elite. These include facilities such as a swimming pool, gym, freight elevator, security, paid parking, concierge, climate control system, and so on.For example, the elite residential complex Ladya has cargo and passenger elevators, underground parking with an elevator, sports and playgrounds. This complex has modern engineering systems and, accordingly, its own large-scale service department. Another Samara premium residential complex, the Portal Building, boasts a rooftop swimming pool.As a result, such bonuses of the "elite" make their maintenance much more expensive. If tenants pay 7-10 rubles per 1 sq. m for maintenance services in an ordinary Samara apartment, then in an elite apartment they will have to pay 35-70 rubles per 1 sq. m. How much will utilities cost?As expected, there was an increase in utility prices in July. However, it wasn't too big. Payments increased by no more than 15%, which corresponds to the recently adopted law. Heads of various infrastructures, such as, for example, the General Director of CJSCEnterprise of thermal networks” Sergey Alekhine, they believe that this will entail a lack of timely repairs and proper maintenance of the systems. This, in turn, will lead to equipment deterioration and a deplorable situation in the entire structure.Thus, if now about 10-12 thousand rubles per month are paid for elite living space of 200 m in Samara, then with an increase in payments per year by 1.5 - 1.8 thousand, the price for utilities will increase exponentially. Nevertheless, the utilities believe that this is not enough. Viktor Chasskikh, Chairman of the Housing and Communal Services and Construction Commission of the Samara Region, suggested that now management companies will have something to think about and work on.It's worth thinking about the future, so let's summarize. When purchasing luxury housing, you need to be prepared to shell out a decent amount of money for it. Judging by the state of affairs in the housing and communal services system, we can be sure that utility bills should increase every year. Add to this the fact that the equipment of engineering systems will wear out and will require more serious investments over time, so the fees for maintenance services may increase.If you have the opportunity to maintain an elite apartment, then you don't have to worry and just enjoy the comfort around you. However, if your capabilities do not fully meet your desires, you should weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of an apartment in an elite building in advance and, based on this, really assess the situation.
