How to choose the perfect apartment: new building or resale?

Buying a home is an important step, and the choice between new building and resale can greatly affect your comfort, budget and even mood. Let's look at the points:

1. Move-in dates

New building:

•             If the house is under construction - wait 1-2 years.

•             Sometimes delays in delivery.

Resale:

•             You can move in immediately after the transaction.

Conclusion: If urgency is important - resale wins.

2. Repair and layout

New building:

•             Often sold without finishing (bare concrete).

•             It is possible to do everything "to suit yourself".

Resale:

•             Already renovated (but it is not a fact that you will like it).

•             Sometimes requires a major renovation.

Conclusion: If you want a clean slate, buy a new building. If you don’t want to spend money on repairs, buy a secondary property.

3. Documents and legal purity

New building:

•             Buying from a developer is often easier with documents.

•             But it is important to check the reliability of the developer.

Secondary:

•             You need to carefully check the history of the apartment and the owners.

•             There are risks: debts, disputes over inheritance, registered people.

Conclusion: New building is a little safer, but the secondary property is not a problem with proper verification.

4. Infrastructure and area

New building:

•             Often built in new areas - the infrastructure may be in the development stage.

•             But over time, the price will increase.

Secondary:

•             Established area, everything is nearby - schools, transport, shops.

Conclusion: Secondary - if comfort here and now is important. New building - if you are ready to wait.

5. Price and mortgage

New building:

•             Often lower price per square.

•             There are government support programs, promotions from developers.

Secondary:

•             The price is higher, but it all depends on the area.

•             Less government support, but you can get a mortgage.

Conclusion: New building is more profitable in terms of price and conditions at the start.

Advice!

The choice depends on your goals:

•             Need “today and now” - choose secondary.

•             Ready to wait, want everything from scratch - take a new building.
