6 reasons why you should build rather than buy your home!

If you are reading this, you're probably considering owning a home. Well before you decide to buy your home, here are a few points you should consider. 

1. Economic Savings

With high interest rates offered by banks, taking on a loan to buy a house in Uganda is a huge financial risk. Currently rates are as high as 30% with high default penalties. Furthermore, companies that are selling these houses usually generate hefty profits of up to 150% on cost. 

Alternatively, one can save costs by building a house as they take progressive steps over time hence are less of a burden.

2. Customization

Building your own house is like making your own dinner: You can blend in different spices to fit your unique taste. On the other hand, out of the box houses for sale lack character since they are usually built in bulk with the sole goal of profit.

3. Time Schedule

A home can be built within a short period of time given that finances and materials are readily available. However, new houses that are bought in advance of making can take ages to finish since some companies wait until all proposed units are completely booked and this may take some more time.

4. Choose Your Neighborhood

Making of your own house enables you to carefully choose your neighbors by enabling you to shop around for a pieceof land in a location that ensures you know your neighbors. Buying land as an association makes for great neighbors.

This is not possible in purchasing a house especially for apartments. Remember no one wants bad neighbors. 

5. Quality

When one undertakes to build a house they are in a better position to monitor the quality of work done since they are the final consumers. Companies that sell houses on the other hand may not have the quality of work as an objective since their main objective is profitability.

6. Sense of Pride

At the end of the day, a home that you build from scratch enables you to easily grow into the house as you view it as your own personal project. Completing such a house also gives a certain satisfaction that beats actually buying one.
