New build or resale?
Not sure? That's normal
Both have advantages. Many buyers choose “no preference” and only decide after the first viewings.
New builds
Modern layout, energy efficient, developer guarantees
Payments spread over the build
Often complexes with a pool, gym and security
Waiting until completion (often 12 to 30 months)
You buy off-plan; gardens and surroundings still need to mature
Resale property
You see what you buy and can enjoy it straight away
Often the best locations, closer to the sea and town
Mature gardens and more space for the same money
Sometimes needs renovation
Thorough legal and technical checks are essential
