Researching the advantages and disadvantages of buying a new home Congratulations! in CDC | Architects We believe that research is a very important process when making a decision as important as this, which is why we give you some advice that we hope will help you a lot in your decision.
Buying a new house has many advantages and disadvantages that we should know about, which is why we are going to explain just some of them that we found very important,
Advantages
- Immediacy
When buying a house or apartment that has already been built, it allows us to more easily plan when we can coordinate the move since the only time that can delay us is the time of the banking procedures. Of course, we make it clear that we are talking about finished projects and not in the process of construction.
- real visualization
By having a finished project we can get a better spatial idea of what the internal spaces, their facades and their finishes are like, therefore, we can take real measurements and verify them with the existing furniture or the furniture we want to acquire.
- guarantees and certifications
In general, large real estate agencies will give a more solid guarantee of their products, although it must be clarified that this is not always the case, therefore, it is always good to investigate the development company or the responsible professional first.
Disadvantages
- Less personalized project
These types of projects are generally produced in series and are not personalized, and sometimes they come with design errors that we do not realize until it is too late, so it is always good to get advice beforehand and review the project well before purchasing it.
- Incompatibility of existing furniture
Because many of these projects are not designed for a specific family, it is important to review the measurements of the furniture we have to see if they really fit in the spaces we have defined or otherwise we are going to have to invest in new furniture or equipment that we had not planned.
- Small spaces
Many of these projects are based on costs and minimum dimensions, so sometimes when we see the model house we think that everything will fit very well, but when we move in we realize that sometimes the rooms or spaces are very small or uncomfortable.
Conclusion
In conclusion, to acquire a new house we must continue analyzing these and other points of view that can help us choose our ideal house, as we already mentioned, a built house has several advantages, mainly in terms of delivery time, ease of acquiring it and the possible amenities, however, there are also several points to consider before closing the deal or at least being clear, such as not having a personalized project and that it may have small and uncomfortable spaces.
