Old buildings in Baku: affordable apartments, prices and listings
The advantages of an old building are well known: the building has settled, the neighborhood has formed, and the school and market are close. The surprises are inside the apartment. If the balcony is glazed and joined to the room, or the kitchen has been moved, the actual area won't match the figure on the title deed. Be sure to find out whether these changes are entered in the document.
If you're buying with a mortgage, set aside options without a title deed: banks usually don't lend on them; the other terms depend on the bank. We covered the bank stage separately in the guide on buying a home with a mortgage.
Look at the top floor: check for stains on the ceiling and ask the neighbors whether the roof leaks. Low-rise old buildings usually have no elevator: climbing up every day with a stroller is not the same as coming once for a viewing. In a Khrushchyovka the rooms are small, while a Stalinka has high ceilings and thick walls, which is the reason for the price difference.
