The advantages of a new flat
Text from 2018. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
In our posts we often mention the possibility of buying flats from the primary market. Let us start with the basics. The primary property market is simply the set of conditions under which rights to new properties are granted and all kinds of agreements related to their management are concluded. Such flats and houses may be under construction or may have been completed recently. In this case the purchase or sale takes place for the first time. New flats keep appearing on the Polish market, so we will present the advantages of a new flat.
Furnishing the flat
Unfortunately, the cost of buying a flat is only the beginning of major expenses and investments. If we buy a flat, we must budget for renovation, fitting out the flat, and buying furniture and accessories. Contrary to appearances, furnishing and decorating a brand-new flat is often easier and cheaper than renovating a flat from the secondary market. Second-hand flats have often not been refreshed or renovated for a very long time. This may involve lengthy and costly work by a contractor. Flats from the primary market are always well kept and clean and need no repairs. The only thing a flat in developer's standard (stan deweloperski) requires is interior design and furnishing. New properties will also serve us much longer. When we make changes, we know that this problem will not come back to us for many years.

You make the decision
A new flat or house gives us the chance to arrange the space from the very beginning according to our needs. It is a really interesting and convenient solution. We do not encounter the obstacles that appear, for example, in flats in a tenement house. We can ask for help from an architect, who will create a design and a detailed visualisation specially for a particular client. In flats from the secondary market it is often harder to make thorough changes. When you buy a new flat, you decide what it will look like and what conditions it should meet.
Functionality
Properties from the primary market most often feature original architectural solutions. All of this is intended to improve the functionality of the unit. We can find flats with innovative solutions, unusually shaped rooms or an atypical window layout. Innovative materials are used in building new flats. Remember that your requirements and the functionality of the flat should be the main criteria.
