Construction or purchase of a house?

Choosing a home is often a difficult decision. Many choose to meet their housing needs by buying a ready-made house whereas others prefer to have their housing autonomy by building a house from scratch.

Whatever you do, you should think of the pros and cons in each case before making your choice.

In case you want to build a house for you and your family, you should keep in mind that:

1. An advantage is that your entire house will meet your personal preferences and you will be the one who will approve its layout in collaboration with the architect of your choice.

2. Also, you determine the capital that you will allocate and the materials that will be used for the construction, such as tiles, sanitary ware, frames, etc. which are not predefined by the manufacturer or the old owner as in the case of buying a house.

3. In addition, the architectural design and all the details regarding the construction will be approved by you in collaboration with the professionals who will undertake to carry out what you want.

4. Finally, the work will be supervised by you and people of your choice so that everything is done correctly.

The two focal points that we need to keep in mind when it comes to building a home are first and foremost the paperwork that is needed, as well as the attention required so that you do not deviate from the initial budget. However, many construction companies undertake to relieve you of the hassle and stress of the paperwork. So in such a case, all you have to think about is your budget.

In case you want to buy a house, you should consider that:

1. It saves time since a new construction takes three to six months to be delivered to you turnkey. In this case you do not have to wait that long because finding a home is much easier.

2. Also, you can find a house that meets your needs and preferences based on your financial budget since the objective value of the property changes depending on the area and therefore its commercial value. Maybe, in this case you will find a property that is more affordable than building a house from scratch.
Clearly, in this case there are also disadvantages such as an uncomfortable layout of the property, and of course it will not have your own personal style as it will be ready and designed by the manufacturer or the previous owner.

Therefore, you should think carefully what are your housing needs and what suits you, and consult the right professionals to help you find the ideal solution for you and your family.

Do not forget that in your home you will spend most of your daily life.
