Resale vs new build property
The advantage of buying an existing property rather than off-plan, new build is that you can go and visit it and really get a feel for the property and its surroundings before you buy. The main drawbacks compared to new build property though is that notaire fees are higher if more than 5 years old (7-8% rather than 2-3%) and if more than 10 years old then there are also no build guarantees in place (unless extensive renovation has been done in which case the guarantees only apply to the work that has been done). As such a thorough inspection of the property and its structure is recommended before signing a purchase contract.
