We asked Chat GPT: If you had to buy an apartment in Sofia, which would you choose - a prefabricated house or a new building?

<p>Good question! It depends on a lot of factors, like budget, location, long-term plans, and personal preferences. If I had to choose, I would look at it this way:</p><p> <strong>Panelka</strong> :</p><ul><li> <strong>Pros</strong> :<ul><li> Usually more affordable.</li><li> Larger and more functional layouts.</li><li> Usually in more developed areas with good infrastructure (parks, schools, shops).</li></ul></li><li> <strong>Cons</strong> :<ul><li> Older construction that requires additional repairs (especially with insulation and installations).</li><li> Energy efficiency is often low.</li></ul></li></ul><p> <strong>New construction</strong> :</p><ul><li> <strong>Pros</strong> :<ul><li> Modern materials and better energy efficiency.</li><li> More modern interior and exterior.</li><li> It often comes with an underground garage or parking space.</li></ul></li><li> <strong>Cons</strong> :<ul><li> Smaller areas for the same price (sometimes the distribution is a compromise).</li><li> Risk of poor quality construction if the builder is not checked thoroughly.</li><li> Often in new areas with still underdeveloped infrastructure.</li></ul></li></ul><p> <strong>Personal preference</strong> : If the panel house is in a good location and has potential after renovation, I would seriously consider it. But if new construction is by a proven builder and meets the budget and location requirements, it would also be a good solution.</p><p> Which one do you choose? 😊</p>
