Good layout is important to buyers: In a 2-room apartment there is typically a living room and a bedroom, while 4-room apartments additionally offer one or two further bedrooms or a study.

Besides the apartment itself, the condition of the building is also relevant. Buyers should pay attention to the condition of the apartment and the general condition of the residential building.
