How about Feng Shui when buying a house in the UK? What are the main points to note?
【Outside】
1. Is the facing west unit good?
West-facing units are good, and east-facing is also good. The sun rises from the east and is moving; the sun sets from the west and is quiet.
It means that the apartment facing east is relatively hard and serious. For example, for office workers (people who are working hard and are in a period of rising career), the apartment facing east is more suitable.
The west-facing apartment is quiet, living and resting. It is suitable for the stable middle class, but it is not suitable for very old people (such as the owner of an elderly family at home may not consider the west-facing apartment).
Of course, other directions also have their own advantages. You have to consider the latitude of the United Kingdom. In summer, it will be dark until nine o'clock in the evening. In winter, it will be dark after three o'clock in the afternoon, so you have to buy a house according to your needs. :
• Permeable north-south —— good lighting, strong ventilation, good air circulation, and strong privacy.
• Facing south-sunny, warm in winter and cool in summer.
• Southeast orientation-better daylighting, slightly insufficient ventilation, easy to damp.
• Southwest facing-better daylighting, but there is a certain degree of western sun trouble.
• Facing east-there is sunshine only in the morning, and the ventilation is normal.
• Facing west-there is only sunshine in the afternoon, the daylighting time is short, the sun is strong in the west, and the summer is hot.
• Northeast orientation-general ventilation, poor lighting, and poor lighting in winter.
• Northwest facing-the daylighting time is short, and the summer daylighting is slightly better.
• True north facing-the worst daylighting, cool in summer and cold in winter.
2. The big tree standing in front of the house
The green rate in the UK is high, and there are often big trees standing in front of the house, some of which are 100-year-old trees, which can be shaded in summer.
But from the perspective of feng shui, being too luxuriant will leave the house in the shade for a long time. The house is very dark and not conducive to lighting; long-term gathering in the shade is not good for the people living in it.
3. Gardenings
The atmosphere is good, and the flowers and plants planted will be lush and pleasing to the eye. However, the gardens of some houses, no matter how they are planted, are not good for planting, and there will be many dead trees and branches, which will affect the home transport. It is recommended to change the soil, and try to make the garden plants greener and more vigorous.
4. Trash can in front of the door
There are trash cans/garbage collection bins in front of many houses in the UK, which should be avoided as much as possible, which will affect the family's luck.
5. Children and pets
Usually, when buying a house, the owner will also bring his children or pets to the house.
If after entering the house, children cry, pets bark, or have other abnormal reactions, there are legends that such a house has a bad history and feng shui.
【Inside】
1. Indoor lighting
The house needs to open up the sun and the light is sufficient. Walk around to see if there is any "mold smell" (usually the smell will be more refreshing if the sun is full). It is not recommended to buy a gloomy house.
2. Open kitchen in the house
British houses adopt more open kitchens, and try to make some movable doors during decoration to make the kitchen "semi-open". Because the main stove in the kitchen, the stove points towards the hostess, the open kitchen is not conducive to the hostess, and gathering wealth is relatively poor.
3.There is a chandelier on the big bed in the bedroom
If there is a chandelier directly above the big bed in the bedroom, move it as much as possible and do not directly face the bed, otherwise it will have a great impact on the body.
4. Use beams to top or attic as a bedroom
The common top floor in the UK will be made into a loft bedroom, as shown in many British dramas; but this is not good. It is best to make a bedside table in the recessed area of the loft and try to flatten it to avoid any health impact.
And many people in the UK like the top floor, especially in high-rise buildings, where you can have a sweeping view of the city. However, Feng Shui believes that the top layer is not good, because the earth's air does not go up, and it is easy to cause family discord, financial luck, troubles, and even infertility.
