Is it worth it to buy a renovated apartment from the builder

For many apartment buyers, it is important to purchase the option that you can immediately drop into. But usually in the market of new buildings, housing with draft finish is offered, where there is no plumbing and communications. For many people this is a huge minus, so they turn to the secondary housing market. The developers, having experienced such trends, began to offer renovated apartments in addition to draft options. Is it worth using this service or is it more profitable to do the repair yourself?

Rough finish

Rough finish in the market of new buildings still prevails. But what is it? The apartment is rented as a concrete box with a cement-sand screed, flat walls, ceilings, installed front door, plastic windows, a glazed balcony or loggia. There is also sanitation, electricity and heating. At the same time, there are no radiators, plumbing, as well as bulbs, sockets and switches.

In order to be able to live in such an apartment, it is necessary to make repairs, stretching for several months. At the same time, you need to live somewhere, and most likely it will be rented housing. Many consider it a plus that repairs will immediately be what you need. But to make a capital finish is very expensive, not everyone is able to immediately assess the final costs.

Repair from the builder

The repair from the developer is called the finishing of the apartment, in which it will be possible to live immediately after the purchase. This service includes linoleum, whitewashed ceilings, wallpapered walls, sockets, switches, interior doors. Also, the walls are tiled in the bathroom. Typically, such services are provided in monolithic or panel new buildings. The option is considered ideal for those who take an apartment in a mortgage.

Finishing cost

The price per square meter with a fine finish increases in the range from 3 to 8 thousand rubles. Much depends on the developer. To finish the apartment pleasing to the eye, it is necessary to study well the projects of finishing works.

In the case of poor repair work from the builder in court, tenants can recover a forfeit.

The repair option from the builder is suitable for those families who want to save money. Indeed, to make repairs in a draft apartment on your own will cost several times more. Moreover, nerves and time are saved. The main thing is to carefully inspect the finished work for imperfections and compare with the project.

Thus, it is impossible to unequivocally answer the question about the advisability of buying an apartment with a fine finish. Therefore, each future owner decides for himself what is more important to him: individual and expensive repairs or simple and minimal finishes.
