When we consider the possibility of buying a house, the first decision is to decide whether it will be a new or second-hand home. There is no magic formula to determine what type of home is best suited to our needs, although the idea of a newly built home is often discarded because the costs of buying it are higher. However, we should take into account some advantages that New Construction provides us and that are non-negligible. You should learn as much as you can about the complex and about purchasing new homes. Let’s dive in.
1. Some level of customization
On many occasions, builders allow small changes to be made to the plans before starting the construction of the houses in a real estate development. This will allow you to adapt it to your way of life, without having to do it from scratch. Of course, always following some “rules” set by the architects and developers.
2. Zero Changes
Once you receive the keys to your home, you can enter to take up residence and enjoy it from the first day. No need for further reforms. This is almost impossible in a second-hand home since you will hardly go to live in it without making a single touch-up or repair, either due to age or misuse. In addition, any modification of this type will entail an extra cost that will make the acquisition of the property more expensive.
3. Builder’s Guarantees
New construction homes are protected by the builder’s warranty, so that, for a certain period of time, the builders can deal with any problems associated with the home, as long as they have not been caused by the buyers. This does not happen for second-hand homes and it may be that once bought, you might likely find some other damage that you can no longer expect to be fixed by the seller.
4. More choice
In the new construction developments, there is a variety of homes: according to typographies, the number of bedrooms, orientation, etc. So, within the same residential complex, you can choose the one that best suits your personal tastes and needs. When we talk about secondhand, finding a perfect home for you with all these factors is much more complicated; especially with specific size, bedrooms, location, and orientation.
