And how much of this will be offset by the lower maintenance costs we can expect in a new property?A:You can expect to pay more for a new build. With house prices under pressure, the gap may well widen further. Traditionally, a price difference of around 20% has been expected. There are benefits to buying new as you get improved technology and, with that, cost savings.
