Recently, with the increase in the number of new buildings, some skeptics have predicted a drop in demand for secondary housing. Modern houses are being built with more spacious apartments, which boast an interesting layout. It would seem that the acquisition of the cherished meters in the new house promises only one advantage. But at the same time, people are increasingly choosing secondary residences. What is the reason?
Cost
It's no secret that finished apartments in new buildings are much more expensive than those that are still under construction. But not everyone is ready to invest their money in a mythical construction and calmly wait for its completion. Too often there are reports that citizens are simply being deceived in such a simple way.
It is for this reason that people who are limited in their budget prefer to purchase secondary housing. Most often, citizens want to quickly move to their own apartment. Therefore, people prefer to choose housing with interior decoration and a minimal set of furniture. Investing in unfinished citizens is not in a hurry.
Minimizing repair costs
Having a lot of free time and money, you can find an excellent housing option with a fresh repair, renovated staircase, legalized redevelopment and other benefits. Very often, the owners do not want to spend time and energy on transporting cabinets, so they sell apartments with furniture. In such a house you only need to add decorative elements.
If you buy an apartment that needs easy repairs, updating it will cost you much less than repair work in a new building. People who have come across a question are well aware of the cost of the costs.
In addition, in new housing will have to buy all the furniture and appliances. Of course, it is better to choose everything to your taste, but it will take a lot of money. But not everyone has them.
Neighbors
In the new apartment you will come across neighbors. In new buildings, the repair process of neighboring apartments may be delayed. But in secondary housing, it is not necessary to face the repair work of residents.
Therefore, you do not have to fall asleep to the sounds of a drill. You understand that the law forbidding to make noise late in the evening and early in the morning, nobody observes. Eternal repairs in new buildings - a common occurrence.
Time saving
Having bought an apartment in the secondary fund, you can immediately move to new housing. But the delivery of a house under construction will have to wait a long time. And then another apartment will need repairs. And only then you will be able to inhabit the cherished meters. As for secondary housing, its purchase will save you time and money.
Debugged systems
Very often, in new buildings, water supply, the launch of elevators, heating, sewage and ventilation systems does not happen right away. Therefore, people have to wait. They have an apartment, but you can’t live in it.
In secondary housing, communication difficulties also occur. But for some reason, breakdowns are most often found in new buildings.
Infrastructure
New buildings are usually built in uninhabited places on the outskirts. Therefore, in the immediate vicinity there may not be a school, kindergarten, store, clinic, post office or other necessary facilities.
The infrastructure will improve over time. So you have to wait a while. There are happy exceptions when new homes are built in habitable areas. But the cost of apartments in such LCDs is much higher.
Road junction
No less important for residents and transport interchange.Not all new buildings are located in places that can be reached quickly and easily. It is not always possible to adequately assess the transport availability of housing prior to acquisition. Difficulties are usually discovered after you face the fact that you spend too much time on the road.
But the purchase of housing in the secondary market in this regard is less risky. In old areas, the transport network has long been established. Assess all its advantages and disadvantages is not difficult. Public transport is very important for those who do not have their own car.
Instead of an afterword
"Resale" and the new building have their pros and cons. New houses look very presentable, they already have new double-glazed windows, new wiring has been laid, modern silent elevators, large parking lots, beautiful courtyards are equipped. The benefits can be listed for a long time. Modern skyscrapers are built with the latest technology. How such houses will manifest themselves in the future is unknown. You may be pleased with the quality of the walls, layout and soundproofing, but unforeseen problems may arise.
Buying an apartment in a secondary fund, you take square meters with history. Remember that someone lived here before you. Therefore, you will have to carefully check all the documents so as not to get into an unpleasant story.
Making a choice is hard enough. However, the demand for secondary housing speaks for itself. In people who are limited in means, it is more popular.
