Moving home is possibly the biggest financial decision a family will make. Most people look at the market for their next property, but, what if you decided to build a family home instead? Not convinced? Here are some reasons you should give it a shot:
Can Often Be Cheaper Than Buying
There are many cases where building a family home works out a lot cheaper than buying one. Especially if you own some land and know people that have built homes before. In this scenario, you’d be crazy not to build a house as it would be so much more affordable. Plus, you get more control over how much things cost when you build a home. Buying one means you pay what someone else tells you to. Then, you pay fees for surveyors and solicitors, and even a realtor too. Everything adds up, and it’s not under your control. However, when you build, you can find the most affordable contractors and haggle a price. You can also use affordable materials to drop the costs down lower. More importantly, you have no need for a large estate agent or solicitor fees at all. So, if your family wants to move house and save money, then building one may be the cheaper option.
