Country house – ready to buy or build?
Many people dream of living in their own country cottage. How wonderful it is to get up in the morning, go out into the yard and enjoy the beautiful nature, your own garden. It would be nice if it would be convenient to get to work. Then, without a doubt, a city apartment in the city center would have remained in the past.
And let’s assume that you are financially independent, and morally prepared to give up everything and indulge in a dream. A city apartment does not please already, a good house is needed. But now another question arises: “Build it yourself or buy a ready-made cottage?”
When you see a finished house, you have your own impression about it and maybe you will understand that this is exactly what you dreamed of. When you decide to build, then dreams may not coincide with reality later.
But, as for infrastructure, ready-made houses win, since you can buy a Finnish house in good specialized settlements, which suggests that the developer has already provided residents with all communications. You will also get to know the neighbors who will match your status.
Ready-made housing is presented on the market in a wide variety, so you can stop looking at the house that is closer to the dream. If you still stopped at construction, you should understand that you will have to wait for an indefinite time until the house is built. And initially you need to collect all the documentation. If you are not limited in time, then you can consider this option. But you need to choose a good construction company and a good professional who will control the consumption of materials, their quality and the integrity of the work. But still it is impossible to say one hundred percent that everything in the house will be perfect. Be prepared for the fact that you will need to fix something, since the builders do not know your dream thoroughly. Try to accurately reflect the house plan on paper and take into account the terrain and the materials used.
Independent construction is cheaper for money than buying a ready-made country cottage. You must be an ace in construction if you decide to do everything yourself – from pouring the foundation to installing roofing. Remember that the house is being built for many years, and its quality and durability will depend only on your skill.
