Should You Buy or Build? Things to Help You Decide.

Things to Help You Decide When Building or Buying a Home

You wish to move into a new house but are confused by the decision of whether to buy or to build. It’s not that simple thing to decide, and there is no universal solution because preferences differ from individual to individual. Here are the pros and cons of both take a look.

Pros Of Building a Home

• When you buy materials locally, you can usually get a discount on materials; if you’ve hired a building contractor, they will have discounts as they are often regular clients of those vendors, and buy in bulk.
• You can choose the required materials – like if you want eco-friendly or hypoallergenic paints, or the best flooring, cement, steel, fittings, etc it is possible.
• You don’t have to be concerned about what might need repair – everything is brand new, and won’t require maintenance for some years to come. No concerns about cracks in the walls, the strength of the foundation, the condition of the roofing, plumbing, wiring, etc
• You can design it exactly the way you wish, number of rooms and bathrooms, size of each room, layout, car parking facilities, gardens, etc. You can decide everything – the areas of light fixtures, and fans, If you want a bathtub in the bathroom or a huge rain shower with body jets – you can customize it to your requirements.

Cons of Building a Home

• You have to wait till it is built; super efficient property developers in Kannur can construct your dream home in the scheduled time, but if your demand is urgent and immediate, you may have to buy a ready-to-occupy.
• The cost of the home may go out of your planned budget; non-availability of materials, strikes and unexpected money delays from your end can cause work, and delays always mean more money. Material costs could suddenly change due to external factors too.
• You may be required to spend a lot of time and effort overseeing everything, especially at the final stages.
• You may have to find temporary shelter for the duration of the construction.

Pros of Buying 

• You can easily move into your new home once the deal is finalised.
• There’s no waiting period or running around except for you’re redesigning the interiors completely
• If you prefer about living in a specific neighborhood, land may not be available there, but a house may be available for ready-to-move. 

Cons of Buying

• The layout of the house may not be the way you exactly required, and not the number of rooms; the flooring may not be to your choice, and it’s difficult to change that. The ventilation may not be the way you need, etc.
• You may need to spend for repairs within a short time 
• You may have to invest a whole lot of time, money, and effort in redesigning the interiors because they were not at all to your preferences. This could include the light fixtures, paint, etc. Eventually, it all boils down to comfort versus customization; whatever it is that you require more, your plan of buying or building will be influenced by these elements – and of course, the budget. Figure out which will be less expensive.
