Construction
What would you say are the pros and cons of buying and building versus buying an existing property?
Advantages of building:
- A good investment
Like anything else, if you buy low and sell high, it’s a good investment. Land values remained steady, but it’s still possible to find bargains and build your own dream house. You’ll go through the challenges of the building process, but you’ll likely have a home, which will be worth more than you paid. The construction process is very different in Mexico; but there are good contractors and good architects to help you.
- You get exactly what you want
This is a no-brainer. Go on tours of homes and understand what you want. Depending on your skill and background in building homes, you can do-it-yourself or hire competent people to assist you. Make sure you are here while the work is being done. It is absolutely necessary to supervise the work regularly. There are not a lot of short cuts here.
Disadvantages of building:
- Delays
Because Mexico is a different culture, things may not always happen on schedule. It may take longer than anticipated. Be prepared for delays in getting materials and labor. Patience and determination are very important if you decide to build.
- Setbacks
It is very important to use recommended and trusted contractors to avoid common pitfalls of building. There are a lot of ways to get gauged and if you hire an unscrupulous contractor you could end up paying more than necessary for the same work. We can help you with this process as we’ve been in the area so long and worked with so many different contractors.
