Complete Refurbished Vs. New Construction
Javier Nieto - Feb 12, 2015 - Property Advice
The Real Estate market in Marbella reached a point of reflection between the debate:
¨Should I buy cheaper and fully rehabilitated property or I go towards for new trendy and modern buildings that attracts so much attention by heavy marketing campaigns¨.
Nowadays the trend in architecture and design has changed together with the taste of new customers.
Each of the options involves costs, advantages and disadvantages, and just knowing exactly what you are looking for and the ideal location may help anybody to decide on the best option for his situation.
The rehabilitation of an old house or apartment takes longer, but much less than a new construction. The cost of rehabilitation at times exceeds the cost of a newly built housing.
From a moral standpoint, rehabilitation involves substantial energy savings to the old building and less pollution. It also streamlines the social sector and the local economy.
From the social point of view, take the option to completely overhaul a relatively old dwelling is a bet before the crisis because the social and economic benefits of refurbish are seen immediately. Suddenly grows the value of the property or rental, preserves the heritage for much longer in exceptional condition, guarantee success in a possible future sale, offering greater accessibility and better location. Since properties with certain age are much better located, of course they arrived before!
Almost always this buildings are located in developed areas and public places, relational, cultural and social encounter, in our case in Marbella near the sea and with the best views where high life is found. This will be the biggest advantage.
