On the modern real estate market, there is a wide range of options for newly-built properties with various interior finishing options. Before purchasing a flat, buyers face the question of whether to buy a "concrete box" and do the repairs themselves or pay extra for finishing from the developer. To make the right decision, one must weigh all the pros and cons, considering the advantages and disadvantages of both options.
Do-It-Yourself Repairs: Pros and Cons
Buying a newly-built flat with a capital repair from the developer is undoubtedly very advantageous, as one can immediately move in furniture and invite guests to a housewarming party. However, many buyers do not trust the construction company, trying to save money in any way possible.
Do-it-yourself repairs have only one advantage - savings. That's it! And that is assuming that the owner has experience or professional skills in conducting repair and finishing works. But not everyone has these abilities and often face various problems:
- One has to search for professionals in various fields: plumber, electrician, etc.;
- Buying materials will have to be done independently, spending a lot of time and effort on trips to construction stores;
- A private individual does not have the opportunity to purchase all materials at wholesale prices, so buying everything necessary will be much more expensive.
Developer Repairs
This is a very convenient option for buyers when the capital repair is included in the cost of the flat. Nowadays, many developers offer to choose a model of future housing and select a variant of its decoration from the proposed sketches, taking into account the client's wishes.
By choosing this option, a person gets the following advantages:
- All materials for the construction are purchased by the construction company at advantageous prices from verified suppliers, so the renovation will be cheaper, and the quality of building materials will be much higher;
- There is no need to spend time traveling to stores and buying materials;
- No need to clean up dust and dispose of construction waste;
- Quality and modern materials are used in new construction projects;
- All necessary work is carried out by professional craftsmen "turnkey".
The only downside of this option is that it is not possible to control the work. But this problem can be easily solved - you just need to find a responsible developer who will do all the work at the highest level.
