Primary Market or Secondary Market?

Primary Market or Secondary Market?

In the real estate market, there are many offers available from both the primary and secondary markets. When choosing an apartment, it's worth paying attention to several key factors. Below are a few reasons why you should consider buying an apartment from the primary market instead of the secondary market.

Quality Guarantee 
Apartments from the primary market are built by developers and are covered by a quality guarantee. Developers are responsible for the technical condition of the building and all defects and repairs that may occur during the warranty period. In the case of apartments from the secondary market, there is no such guarantee, and the buyer must take care of repairs and renovations themselves.


Modern Solutions
Apartments from the primary market are equipped with modern technological solutions an efficient heating systems. Proven materials are used, and the entire construction process complies with applicable standards. In the case of apartments from the secondary market, often modernization is required, and investment in solutions that improve the quality of life is necessary.


No PCC Tax
When purchasing an apartment on the secondary market, a mandatory PCC tax is calculated. In Poland, it amounts to 2% of the property price and is mandatory for every real estate purchase transaction. The lack of PCC tax in the primary market is advantageous for customers because it allows them to save from several to several tens of thousands of zlotys. They can therefore allocate the saved money for renovation or furnishing the apartment.


Location of the Housing Estate
New housing estates are usually built in places that are meant to provide a high level of comfort and quality of life. Access to public transportation, proximity to shops, schools, and medical services, as well as safety and peace, are crucial. Therefore, it is essential to carefully consider where you want to live and what your needs and expectations are before buying an apartment.


Neighborhood
New housing estates in the primary market are often inhabited by younger couples or families with children who are looking for a new and comfortable place to live. In such a neighborhood, you can meet people with similar interests and needs. An apartment purchased on the primary market is safer, and the neighbors are professionally active, valuing peace and a friendly atmosphere.


The Choice Is Yours
An apartment from the primary market is a good choice for people who value convenience, reliability, as well as new technical and construction solutions. They will certainly appreciate the long warranty period for the apartment and neighbors with whom they can establish new friendships.
