Preparatory stage before the expensive transaction
Before directly choosing an apartment, you need to decide what is expected from the future purchase. To do this, you need to understand what requirements the property must meet: location relative to the city center; number of living spaces and their size; price per square meter; adjacent infrastructure; availability of a formed transport interchange.
Given the high competition in the real estate market, developers try to attract buyers with promotions and bonuses. Therefore, it is important to monitor current offers, which allows you to save on the precious transaction.
Exploring the real estate market online
An important stage in the search for real estate is a clear understanding of what you expect from future housing. Perhaps a one-room apartment will suit you, or maybe it is better to immediately buy a three-room apartment. To start, look at new buildings on DomRia – a popular Ukrainian website. Slowly browse photos in ads, read descriptions, and study the location of the housing. Do not limit yourself to studying only one-room options. Sometimes the cost of a two-room apartment is not much higher. In general, your main goal is to study the options offered on the market.
Reliable and comfortable housing in new buildings of Lviv
Today, developers regularly introduce new technologies in the construction of high-rise buildings. Therefore, when choosing housing in a new building, the future owner does not need to worry about leaking water pipes, insufficient power supply, and other communication systems that are in poor condition in old apartments. According to comfort criteria, the following advantages of new buildings deserve special attention: additional insulation of buildings according to European standards; autonomous heating of apartments; free planning of interior spaces; availability of modern communication systems; clean entrances and silently operating elevators.
High level of security
Today, the level of security of apartment buildings is an important criterion for many Ukrainians trying to improve their housing situation. Given that new buildings are constructed using modern building technologies, their reliability is at a high level.
Any new high-rise building has a fire protection system, and additional installation of video surveillance and alarm systems is possible. Also, buildings where a concierge is on duty at the entrance are increasingly common. In general, modern developers try to do everything possible to improve the comfortable living of new residents.
Legally transparent transaction
Given that primary real estate has not had a previous owner, it is distinguished by legal purity compared to secondary apartments. By agreeing to cooperate with the developer, the buyer receives the following advantages: buying housing without a history; minimal chances of encountering fraudsters; assistance in paperwork from the developer; absence of third parties claiming your property.
Favorable purchase conditions
Based on the conclusions of independent experts, the cost per square meter of real estate in a new building is similar to the price on the secondary market. Plus, you can take out a mortgage loan for the purchase of primary real estate in almost every Ukrainian bank, which cannot be done by choosing the secondary real estate market.
Another advantage is that by buying an apartment at the initial stage of construction through equity participation, you can save up to 30% of the final cost of finished square meters. Although the final choice – whether to buy a new or lived-in apartment – remains only yours.
Advantages and disadvantages of primary real estate
When searching for an apartment in a building under construction, it is important to familiarize yourself with the positive and negative aspects of the future transaction. At the same time, there are more advantages of cooperation with the developer:
An undeniable advantage of a new building is the status of buyers. By buying a new home, you will live next to neighbors of the same status as you. This will help avoid unpleasant conflict situations.
New buildings are constructed according to modern technologies. This guarantees their reliability and safety.
By buying an apartment in a new building, you are its only legal owner.
Of course, there are also disadvantages of apartments in new buildings. Often, unfinished buildings turn into long-term construction projects. Often after the building is put into operation, there may be interruptions in water supply or elevator operation. Also, if the developer plans to open a store or other infrastructure on the lower level, they may only start operating a few years after the building is completed.
