Buying off plan you dont know what the developers are going to bodge and to what extent. Buying a property that has been built has two rather distinct advatages; Firstly you can see with your own eyes the structure of the building and you are able to instruct a full survey by a professional prior to advancing too far along the process.

I should have been more precise, I I meant between off plan and new build. you can't tell what the builders will be like until it's pretty much built in either case, and either builder could mess it up. (Obviously once you get to a second hand then snagging doesn't come into it)

Oh in that case then agreed.
