Many buyers believe that buying a second-hand house is more cost-effective than buying a new one, but is this really the case?In fact, this is not the case.Although the price of second-hand houses are relatively low, most houses are relatively old and many facilities are imperfect and require buyers to repair them themselves. The cost of these renovations often exceeds £50,000, which is a considerable expense.
