New housing or second hand?

Situation

The situation is one of the most important factors and more to take into account when buying a home. If you are looking for a house or apartment in the center, it is easier for you to find it second hand, since everything is built right now. On the other hand, new homes are usually located on the outskirts and with other types of facilities (community pool, garden, etc.) However, in Agenthia we offer you various promotions of new work really close to the center of large cities; you can consult them all on our website.

Price

The price of second-hand homes is usually more affordable than new ones. Still, you should bear in mind that when buying a second-hand home you may have to carry out renovations, so you will probably end up applying changes. That means that you must have an extra expense for the reform, either immediately after entering the house or throughout the length of your stay in it.

Taxes

When buying a second-hand home you have to pay the ITP (Transfer Tax Patrimonial). That means an increase of between 6 and 10% depending on the autonomous community. On the other hand, if you buy a new home you have to pay the VAT of 10% of the price of the house.

These are the three most important factors that, from Agenthia, we advise you to take into account when investing in a home. The rest is left to your choice!
