Why is better buy than sell a house?

If you are in love with Alicante and have decided to live or spend your holidays in the city, one question will come to your mind: Should I buy or is it better to rent? Nowadays Alicante is a tourist province par excellence on the Costa Blanca and one of the favourite destinations in Spain and Europe.

To tell the truth, it is a star city for holidays, it has a lot of demand for rentals and little supply, that is to say, it has very high prices for renting a property. Certainly, it can be a problem to find a rental property or an advantage to rent your home.

However, even with its popularity, Alicante maintains affordable prices for property sales. It is one of the cities with the best quality/price ratio for its houses and with a very high quality of life index.

Buy a new building in Alicante

New construction are those homes that have never been inhabited. In other words, those that are generally bought off-plan or recently built.

This type of housing has a number of advantages over buying second hand (houses that have already been lived in):

1. You can personalise your home. Buying off plan means you can request the changes you need to make the house to your liking.
2. It is more economical than the house already built. Buying directly from the developer avoids third party commissions and the price is more affordable.
3. Buying a new property as an investment: Buying a new property will make holiday rentals much easier than buying a second-hand property. Tourists are looking for comfortable and new spaces.
4. Construction guarantee: New build properties have a 10 year construction guarantee.
