Buy or Build, What Should You Do?
2

• Having your dream home built can seem a tempting
  prospect for many, and rightfully so, but is it a
  sound financial decision in comparison to buying
  a new home?
• Your home is a big financial responsibility,
  whichever decision you take, and below is some
  guidance designed to help you make the choice
  between buying or building, a little clearer
• The benefits of building your own home
• There are many advantages to building your own
  home, and if you work with a reputable,
  professional construction company, theres no
  reason why it cant be a lucrative and satisfying
  choice

• You can customize it
• Building your own home from the foundations up,
  means that it can be designed to match your exact
  needs and desires, right from the layout to the
  décor.
• Competition is low
• Finding the right home is becoming increasingly
  tough, and with so much competition, the chances
  of you finding the ideal home is greatly reduced.
  Own land and build your own home, on the other
  hand, andproblem solved!

• Maintenance is significantly less
• With many reputable construction companies
  offering limited warranties and new homes built
  to meet strict building codes, along with being
  kitted out with up to the minute technology, big
  repairs or general maintenance shouldnt be an
  issue for you for many years to come.
• You can reduce your energy consumption
• Less energy usage results in lower energy bills,
  and with newly built homes often featuring the
  latest energy-efficient systems and materials,
  you can start using less energy right from the
  get go.

• The benefits of buying a new home
• There are not quite so many advantages to buying
  your own home instead of having one built for
  you, but for some, it may prove to be the more
  convenient solution
• You can move right in
• If you dont have the patience to wait while your
  dream home is constructed, then buying a new home
  naturally means that you might be able to move
  right in, or at least wait no less than a couple
  of months.

6

• Price negotiations are possible
• Its true that when having your own home built,
  there isnt a lot of leeway on closing costs or
  purchase price with a construction company, so
  you may be able to negotiate a better price when
  you buy a new home.
• The process may be less stressful
• While having your own house built will give you
  the home youve always dreamed of, for some, the
  process can be too stressful. Buying a new home
  can certainly come with its own set of stressors,
  they may be less significant than those
  associated with having your own home constructed.

7

• It can be hard to say whether having your own
  home constructed is a smart financial decision,
  but provided you work with a professional
  construction company who carry out their work to
  a high standard and communicate well with you
  throughout the entire process, your dream home
  can certainly give you everything you need and
  want, and selling it in the future, should make
  you a profit if you maintain the property.
