Buy or Build?

Buy an existing home or build a new home? The answer depends on what is important to you.

Dean O'Rourke, General Manager of Dale Alcock Homes, assisted BuildingWA.com.au to compile the below list of the advantages of both options.

Building a new home

Advantages:

You will be the first to live in the house
You can select features of the home to suit your lifestyle.
The Building Industry today has designs that cater for every type of lifestyle and budget. Much time and effort is put in to ensuring there is a floorplan to accommodate everyone's requirements.
You can choose the number of bedrooms and living areas, opt for specialised entertaining areas like outdoor alfresco areas and home theatres, decide on home offices located away from living areas etc.
A new home meets all the current building and safety codes, will be more energy efficient and will not require as much maintenance as an old home, saving you money every month.
CBus wiring and 'smart home' technology can be easily included from the start, giving you easier access to Foxtel, wireless internet etc.
You will be able to individualise/personalise all of your finishes, colours and appliance selections as opposed to living with something you don't like or can't afford to change.
Your new home will come with a standard warranty and service maintenance warranty.

Advantages:

Usually in an established neighborhood.

The landscaping may include desirable mature trees.
You can always renovate the areas you don't like.
You don't have to wait - you can move in straight after settlement.
