The age-old debate between secondary housing and new builds keeps surfacing. So,
let's break it down, shall we?
Secondary housing in North London carries a certain charm, doesn’t it? Think of those Victorian terraces with their period features and mature gardens. But, and it's a big but, older homes can come with a bag of issues. Ever dealt with damp, dodgy electrics, or heating systems that seem to live in the past? It’s not just about fixing things; it’s about turning a house into a comfy, energy-efficient home. Now, that can cost more than a few quid and a weekend of DIY.
Switching focus to new builds – they're like a blank canvas, right? Sparkling kitchens, bathrooms that shine, and no nasty surprises hiding in the cellar. The idea of a home that’s ready to move into is tempting, plus they’re built to the latest environmental standards. But let’s talk about space. Ever noticed how those rooms can feel, well, a bit snug? And then there's the price. Often, you’re paying a premium for being the first to fluff the pillows.
