For some people it’s the only option thou isn’t it , not everybody has the luxury to be able to choose where / what to buy . There is lots of situations where new builds are the only answer , in my town there has been a development on a old abandoned school site and a development on a dis used industrial estate.
It’s so hard to find honest, reliable tradesmen. That’s what puts me off buying another fixer upper
What’s the alternative?
The house I part exchanged had cracks due to a large tree outside. They still took it though.Thanks for the replies it does sound like a good option for us . My only worry really is that we have damp so I know that will flag up on the survey
I wouldn’t worry too much , they tend to send 3 estate agents over to value your house then go for the middle value , I don’t think they are actually that bothered , they essentially just want you to buy one of there houses , I have two friends who have both done it with their houses and then companys who had bought their houses sold both on for cheap as they want a quick turn around , they don’t want your old house just sat empty as it has no worth to them XThanks for the replies it does sound like a good option for us . My only worry really is that we have damp so I know that will flag up on the survey
Thank you that does sound reasurring. Just need to save save save for the next 12 months and then we can start looking for a place. I can’t wait to have more space!
So if my house was worth 140k and the new build was 250k that would be ok? Sorry I’m getting confusedthink the new house has to be 30% more - or it is with the new builders in our area
