⭐The big secret of choosing an apartment in the UK: What orientation should you choose?
⭐What direction should you choose for a UK apartment?
Unlike in China where most houses are oriented towards the south, in the UK, the orientation varies. It could be either facing the morning sun or the afternoon sun, as the winter days are shorter. Therefore, there isn't much emphasis on the "south-facing" aspect like in China. Some people find west-facing apartments to be favorable.
⭐For those who are sensitive to the cold: Sunlight doesn't bring much warmth, and the UK tends to be cold. If you want a warmer environment, it is essential to choose a house with heating.
⭐UK apartments do not have air conditioning.
In the UK, 99% of apartments do not have air conditioning. The reason is simple: the UK is influenced by the mid-latitude westerlies, resulting in a mild and rainy climate throughout the year. Consequently, temperatures rarely exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
⭐Windows cannot be fully opened.
For safety reasons, windows in the UK have safety locks. All windows can only be opened partially and cannot be fully opened. However, ventilation is not an issue.
