The Buy Vs. Build Debate
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

If you’re shopping for a new property, you might be debating whether you should purchase or construct.

While the housing market has a diverse choice of designs, price ranges, and locations, buying might not be for everyone. 

Building a house allows homeowners to tailor the property to their personal needs, resulting in an ideally suited space for their families’ habits, lifestyles, and requirements.

Suppose you are in the advantageous position of buying a property or land to build your own home.

It is worth keeping in mind that you are not required to build in brick and mortar – in face you don’t need to use bricks at all. Steel, wood, mud and straw – the choice is yours.

With the proper planning and building permission, you can build a home, barns, stables, garages, and even other types of storage.

Work with the right custom building specialist, and you might be surprised what you can do!

Which Is More Cost-effective?

One of the main things people consider when building a new home or buying a new home is how cost-effective each option is. 

Building your own home usually comes with a higher price tag, but one of the pros of having a home that is built to your specifications is priceless.  

When you buy an existing house, you are unlikely to find the perfect home. Instead, you will likely be looking to make adjustments and modifications.

So if the typical cost of a home is $300,000, once you have factored in all of the additional purchase costs and extensions or remodeling, you will quickly be in the same region as the price range to build your own. 

Pros of Building a House

If price isn’t a consideration, you will need to have a clear idea of the pros and cons of each one. Let’s take a look at the pros of building your own home. 

No Competition

If you have ever found yourself in the unfortunate position of bidding for a house, you know that there is plenty of competition.

You might not get the home you want and can lose the bid. If you build your own home, you won’t need to hope for the best – it’s all yours.

Customization

One of the biggest and most important pros is that only one offers complete customization when you consider building or buying.

If you need two offices, three bathrooms, and an utterly self-sufficient build – you can have it! 

Low Energy Costs

New builds can have all of the modern technology that means they are as energy-efficient as possible.

This means that you will enjoy lower energy costs for the duration of your time in that home. 

Cons

There aren’t many cons to building your own home, but you should be prepared for it to take a while.

During that time, you might be paying for rental/mortgage costs, be stressed out from the incidents that impact the build, and hidden fees you hadn’t considered. 

Pros of Buying a Home

When it comes to buying, a few pros make it strong consideration. 

Easier

It is easier to find a house you like, make a bid, and wait to move in. There might be hiccups like your buyer backing out, some issues found in the survey – but for the most part, it is much easier to buy a home and move in rather than build it. 

Cost

In almost all cases, it is cheaper to move into a home that is already built than build your own. Of course, you will not get the customization with the lower price tag, but the amount you save vs. construction could add things like a conservatory, loft extension, or renovation. 

Cons

One of the biggest cons about buying a home instead of building one is that you might never find the house you love. Instead, you will always need to consider the modifications you’ll need to make. 

Even if you start to find the ideal property, you may wind up preferring to construct your own to achieve precisely what you want. Much of the decision will come down to how much you want something unique to you. 

Remember, the more you know the better equipped you’ll be when the time comes to build. Building on a Budget? 8 Budget-friendly Ways to Build a Custom Home.
