Even if you use <a href=\"https:\/\/decisoesesolucoes.com\/blog\/credito-habitacao-termos-comuns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing credit<\/a>, the business requires&nbsp;<strong><b>less bureaucracy<\/b><\/strong>;<\/p>\n<p>2. The process is faster and, if you comply with the requirements imposed by the bank, it guarantees you access to around 80% to 90% of the funds needed for the purchase;<\/p>\n<p>3.

You cannot change the structure, organization, finishes and functionalities of the house, unless you opt for structural works;<\/p>\n<p>3. If the property was built more than ten years ago, you are not entitled to any guarantee from the contractor;<\/p>\n<p>4. You are subject to payment of costs associated with housing credit, such as <strong><b>Stamp Tax<\/b><\/strong>, and others, such as <strong><b>IMT<\/b>< \/strong>, superior when compared to construction work;<\/p>\n<p>5. You must have at least 10% of the value of the property as a down payment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is your dream to build a house?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Having the possibility of building the house you have always dreamed of could be within your reach.

Possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/decisoesesolucoes.com\/blog\/construir-casa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">build the house<\/a> to your liking;<\/p>\n<p>2. You can choose the area where you want to live, depending on the availability of land;<\/p>\n<p>3. All decisions depend on you, so it is easier to avoid <strong><b>real estate speculation<\/b><\/strong>and save money on the construction process;<\/p>\n<p>4. Bank credit conditions are more beneficial if you want to build a house, with longer financing terms;<\/p>\n<p>5. The IMT is lower when compared to buying a house, whether for new construction or rehabilitation;<\/p>\n<p>6. It has a construction guarantee of up to ten years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong><b>&nbsp; Disadvantages of building a house:<br \/>\n<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1.
