Build vs Buying- What’s your cup of tea 

It took me 7 years to build my house and I don't regret it, I'm living bond free and it was worth it

I'm a student but I've already thought of building. And architecture is important for me

This is a difficult one to decide on. On the one hand, building is time-consuming, often unforeseen costs arise and location is a con, however, it can work out cheaper than buying a ready-built property. Personally between building and buying, from experience, I'd say rather build, but only if you building in a good location where the market value of the area is more than what it will cost you to build.

3 things when building 1 buy land 2 get an architect (for me I've made friends with most peoffessionals not that I won't pay but easy advices) 3 Get a Project manager There you go nice affordable house might take 5years but its yours

Thanks for video Nicolette 👌.

Thanks so much for your videos you have been so influential to me when it comes to financial education

A founder is an entrepreneur who builds the business from scratch. An entrepreneur is anyone who manages the risk, capital and labour of a business, irrespective of whether they built the business from scratch, franchised or acquired the business later. This is the internationally accepted definition. I worked with a business incubator in SA and we followed the international standard definition of Entrepreneur(ship).

Thank you for always sharing your time and knowledge , some of us our financial lives changed for the Better :-) mcwaaah

My opinion is, building is cheap but you are most likely to build in an area that you dont prefer because you looking into costs. For instance Benoni side they selling a vacant land for 280k and with that money you can build a house in Daveyton as quicky as possible a dream house that in future when you wanna sell it the person who can afford buying the house doesnt wanna stay in that area. So buying a house if you look at it as an investment in my opinion is better but ke 20years its alot to pay off a bond🤕.

Been actually thinking about this for a while now and still stuck.. but my finances can allow me to build vs buy

Hi Nicolette, Thank you for the very informative video, please can you demonstrate the considering factors on buying an apartment under construction (pros and cons)

Yazin' I love you! I needed this.

Beautiful bedroom. Thank you Nicolette, this has been very informative. I will share the video with my friends

I like how you always explain both sides without being bias, you Amazing

imagine vusi ft nicolet it would be a very productive talk.

Thanks for this So apt

I’m trying to buy a property how can we link ?? I would love your help, send your info?

Building is too costly from what I've experienced.We build 8 room for rental for now we have spent more than 700k is just too much but we are closed to finish. In future I'll surely consider buying

Thank you for showing a great video. Can we get a comparison between renovating or refurbishing a abandon or run down house vs. Buying a house ready made. and how much will they cost.

I demolished my parents old house back in the village and built a new house for them. I never ever want to go through the emotions that building a house from scratch brought me (especially because i was in a different province from them) 😂😂😂hai shame I'm definitely buying a house for myself in future, I'd rather renovate what i find instead of building from scratch! One minute the builder can't interpret the plan, next minute there's not enough water. next thing it's raining and we need to start roofing... it's just too much. Next thing the builder finishes before the time u agreed on and they want their money 😭😭😭 ke shap!

Girl I just love you ❤️

Building is much cheaper and free from bond. Buying is a no for me.

A great video. Unfortunately for me, I'm still torn up on this debate. I'm s final year student and I feel like I need to make moves in securing a home and future for my children.

Thanks for this Nics

LOVE YOU SIS!

Hi Nicolette I fully get the benefits of buying over building from a cost and convinience perspective but then is it still advisable to buy given the increasing repo rate?

building is very stressful bcz you need this and that,you run out of funds😒have to save again.

Insightful. However taxi math is a major waiting to be introduced at tertiary level. That being said you are beautiful.
