The decision between new build and resale depends on timelines, budget and expectations of efficiency. Here is a direct comparison.
Aspect | New build | Resale |
Energy efficiency | High (air-source heat pumps, insulation) | Variable; may require improvements |
Warranties | Developer/builder | No construction warranties (except latent defects) |
Delivery time | May require waiting | Immediate after signing |
Location | New developments | Established neighborhoods |
Price | Usually higher | Wider price range |
Customization | Options on the plans | Tailored renovations |
New build: VAT + AJD (stamp duty), extras and fittings.
Resale: ITP (transfer tax) and possible renovations (plumbing, windows, HVAC).
New build: you want efficiency, warranties and low initial maintenance.
Resale: you prioritize location and a quick move-in.
Both options are valid. At Bullmann Properties we evaluate timelines, costs and expectations with you to find the home that fits best.
