Many people choose to buy ready-built homes for their families to skip the stress and additional costs of having an architect, engineer, and contractors build the home from scratch. They also see this as a long and unnecessary process when there are already ready-made homes for them to occupy.
Some, however, see buying land and having a custom-built home as the more practical choice. These people are the ones who want more flexibility and freedom for their spaces, and choose to start from scratch so they can follow what they want for their homes.
Compared to buying the best house in the neighborhood, what are the things you can enjoy when you plainly buy a land and then construct?
You get to choose the location
A best house may not always equate to a best location, or if it does, it will probably be one of the most expensive houses and lots in the country. When buying a land first, however, you get to choose a location with a great view and one which is accessible to your family’s needs. You will also be able to get your dream address and choose a village with a quiet neighborhood.
A growing interest for real estate buyers now is seen in the beautiful city of Antipolo. It has amazing villages like Eastland Heights and Sun Valley, which offers buyers scenic views of the city skyline, the Sierra Madre mountain range, and Laguna de Bay. There are also many developments around the area which makes it easily accessible to everyone.
You have total control over the finest details
When you start to build, you have a say to everything, and you have the freedom to build your home the way you want it. The floor finish, the furniture, the number of bedrooms – everything else is down to your hands. All you have to do is include it in your plan and have professionals help you achieve the home you desire.
It is also a good idea to browse on some house pegs and do some research to better guide you build your home, considering the location and type of land you bought.
You can ensure high-quality materials that can last up to generations
Once you buy a house that is already built, there is a lower chance you can ensure that materials are strong enough to withstand calamities and the passing of time. However, when you build your home yourself, you get to see the materials to be used and make sure that it falls nothing short of durable and high-quality. Your house may eventually turn to be your family’s ancestral house so you have to get it ready for your grandchildren.
Your home won’t need to be like everyone else’s
Building your home by yourself means you won’t need to follow certain designs you don’t really like. Once you buy a piece of land, you can think of it as a blank canvas where you can start your masterpiece. You get to decide on the structure of the house, the colors, and all other features that will reflect your personality.
Now, what’s your plan for your dream home? Buy or build? Best of luck!
