Beli rumah siap lebih
mudah
05/12/2004 MA
MEMILIKI rumah sendiri menjadi idaman semua, terutama yang berkeluarga.
Untuk memiliki rumah sendiri, mereka mempunyai pilihan sama ada membeli
rumah daripada pemaju atau membuatnya sendiri. Sesetengahnya mungkin gemar
membeli rumah yang dibangunkan pemaju kerana tidak perlu bersusah payah
mencari tanah atau tapak, sementara yang gemar membuatnya sendiri mungkin
menganggap ia lebih menjimatkan kerana kosnya boleh dirancang dan pada masa
sama, boleh mendapatkan reka bentuk rumah mengikut cita rasa sendiri.
Wartawan Metro Ahad, ASMIZAN MOHD SAMIRAN menemubual orang ramai bagi
mengetahui pilihan mereka. "JIKA diberi pilihan, saya memilih untuk memiliki
rumah yang dibuat sendiri berbanding membeli rumah daripada pemaju.
Kadangkala kita terpaksa menunggu terlalu lama sebelum ia siap untuk
diduduki. Lebih malang jika rumah yang dibeli terbengkalai. Jika buat rumah
sendiri, ia lebih terjamin kerana proses pembinaannya dapat dipantau.
Lokasinya juga tidak terhad di bandar besar saja."
