I am currently considering whether it is worthwhile to build new or rather buy a used house for the following requirements:
I now have a few properties in mind that meet these requirements and have already undergone some renovation work (e.g., natural gas heating replaced). All are priced around 270,000 - 320,000 euros (house price only, without land for better comparability) and are about 30 years old.
Now my question is: Can the requirements from the list also be reasonably accommodated in a new build, or would that lead to significantly higher costs than with the "used" houses? Apart from the age, what would be the advantage of a new house at all (excluding personal wishes regarding design)? So what has changed in the meantime, which "must-haves" are now standard that did not exist before? To what extent would these justify a premium for a new build?
I hope I was able to express my thoughts somewhat clearly and am already looking forward to your opinions :-)
