It is of course possible that you ask yourself the question: Are we going to renovate or build a new one? Your home may be fine, but you would like a slightly more spacious kitchen or larger bedrooms on the upper floor…?
Choice stress: do I want to renovate? Or do I have my dream house built?
The knot has been cut. You have received different housing requirements and therefore want to live differently. But then comes the next question. “Are we going to renovate? Or are we going to build our dream house?” The first thought is usually to remodel. Many people think that this is a cheaper solution than building their dream home. But is that really so? Today we will go through the advantages of new construction compared to renovation with you!
Advantages of new construction compared to renovation
- A new-build home has more comfort; A new-build home is well insulated against cold, heat and noise. There are now strict regulations in the field of the environment, energy efficiency and sustainable construction.
- There is a good chance that with a new-build home you will have little or no maintenance in the first few years. That is why you have more convenience from your new-build home!
- You can furnish a new-build home all by yourself. Do you want an extension? Or extra windows? A high ceiling? Everything is possible! You decide what your home will look like.
- A new-build home is more energy-efficient than an older home. This saves you energy costs again!
- A newly built house has lower CO2 emissions. The house is well insulated and has sustainable heating techniques. That is good for your wallet but also for the environment!
- You buy your dream home freely by name. You do not pay transfer tax for a new-build home. So more tax advantage!
- Future value; A newly built house is, even in this day and age, a solid piggy bank for the future.
