I think real comparisons are the biggest problem with this debate, as they are difficult to get.
2. Security & quality are difficult to manage on a standalone unless you are there. Yes you can hire someone to look after both for you, but where are you going to find them? You wouldn't hire someone you met in the pub in the UK a few days before to look after your house for 6 months would you?
Also regarding quality on offplans you will actually see the quality of materials and fittings specified in documents before they build, they are part of the plan submitted to get the license and they must be adhered to by law.

Hi Rob,
Ok comparison is there in so many places in Brazil, does anyone on here really think that a beach front or near, communal apartments or a communal group of villas is something new in Brazil??? Are these developers the first to invent this idea? REALLY!
Also in some aspects you are correct about security if you buy a resale that is not in a communal, i have stated that, you have housekeeper instead.
Quality is can only be to anyones standard, people will have different levels of what they consider to be high stardard or medium, but the fact is if you cant see it then you dont know if it meets your stardard, that one part of the risk hence why off plans are normally cheaper.
