New Build Developments in Sofia

Builders in Sofia are pushing boundaries now in terms of architectural style and finish new build developments in Sofia.

Long gone are the days of the standard apartment building and now there are many exclusive developments in desirable locations where builders are choosing to create something different.

Pre-family households might want to live in the city, but affordability is a key concern. The location of many new-builds in the districts of Sofia can make them more affordable.

Post the Covid Pandemic, families are prioritising outside space and are looking for a lifestyle change. New-builds in districts and villages outside of the Sofia Ring Road can help meet these preferences.

Below are the main reasons why people are investing in new build developments in Sofia:

Parking Space

Roadside parking in Sofia is a nightmare. This is true in the city centre, the districts such as Lozenets or the villages outside the Sofia Ring Road.

The best option is to purchase a property with covered parking to avoid the hassle of cleaning off the snow and ice in the winter but outside secure parking inside the development is much better than no parking at all.

More Outside Space

Since the pandemic, outdoor space has become even more important to buyers.

New-build homes can be a great option to gain outdoor space such as a garden, balcony, or terrace. Note that south and west facing outside spaces are preferable in Sofia to make the most of the excellent summers.

No Previous Owners

No one has lived there previously so there’s no wear and tear to deal with when you move in, so you will not have to spend time and money fixing the place to your own standards.

Your Own Interior Design Choice

In many homes, you will be able to choose fixtures and fittings as most places are delivered with no flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, doors, heating, etc.

If you purchase your property early money you can change the configuration of a home when it’s a new build property depending at what stage you get involved in the purchase.

Peace of Mind

With a new build home, the property will be covered by a warranty, this is usually applicable for a 5-year term.

This gives you protection against something going wrong including structural defects.

Built for Modern Living

New buildings tend to be open plan and multi- functional.

A living room will incorporate a family’s needs offering a space which is designed well enough for cooking, eating, watching TV and children doing homework, all in a single open area.

An area of the home must also be allocated to quiet space to allow homeworking.

New builds tend to come with easy access to the outdoors. Bi-fold or sliding doors will lead to big terraces, balconies, and patios with space for a barbeque and tables and chairs.

Bedrooms will come with en-suites as well as a family and guest bathrooms.

Use of Technology

New houses will incorporate all the latest technology such as underfloor heating and smart technology in terms of heating, lighting and music, all remotely controlled.

AI and smart home technology are becoming a major feature of the way we live and new build properties can fully incorporate this along with all the required wiring and infrastructure during the build.

Improved technology also means better security; new build homes will have properly fitted locks and at the top end of the scale, sophisticated CCTV and video entry devices.

Environmentally Friendly Homes

A positive of buying a new build is that it will be built to exacting standards in terms of heating and ventilation.

The modern home will include energy efficient features as standard such as double or even triple glazed widows, insulated walls and doors.

Many new builds are now being built to reduce energy bills to a minimum, offering impressive energy efficiency. Energy efficient home will also reduce the need to invest in thick heavy curtains to keep rooms warm because your home will always be at the correct temperature for you.

Easier To Buy with Less Restrictions in Place

With buying new build properties, you are buying with no onward chain, which can make the move a lot easier, quicker, and less stressful.

When you’ve put in an offer, you also don’t have the risk of being gazumped or a seller pulling out.

Having no chain gives you more ability to negotiate on moving in when you want to without the pressure of having to tie in with the people selling.

Low Maintenance

Buying a new house will generally require less immediate maintenance.

Features such as self-clean glass and wipe clean floors mean a new house can be a lot easier to keep dirt-free.

Sense of Community

When you buy new, you are often buying into a ready-made community.

A new house can be part of an exclusive development and the builder will have also factored in proximity to shops, amenities such as a doctor’s surgery and schools.

Often the new development will include shops, a restaurant, takeaway or a bank on your doorstep.

Some new home developments will come with communal facilities such as a gym, spa or swimming pool complex, which you don’t get with a period property.

In some developments, there may be even a concierge meaning there is someone on hand to take parcels and post for you in your absence.

Good Neighbours

As part of a new community comes like-minded people living there.

You can find neighbours with a lot in common with you or perhaps with children the same age.

You don’t always get this with an older house as a street will have occupants who’ve lived there a long time.

It’s also easier to make friends if you’ve all moved in recently.
