It is generally less expensive to have everything done as the house is being built. Items involving Plumbing, electricity, heating, and cooling, are far less expensive to install when the basement is being built. The equipment only needs to come there once. There is no expense in tearing up the floor, tearing out a wall, tearing out a ceiling, replacing the torn place in the floor, replacing the torn place in the wall, and replacing the torn up place in the basement ceiling and in the floor of the room above. Depending on what will be needed, all will be avoided.

How much does a basement cost?

It cost around 10-25k, depending on size and current condition of a basement. 10k would be on the lower side, and in most cases it would cost more. Although, this would include just the finish basement and basic electric stuff (outlets, lights etc) if you want plumbing work (like a bathroom) or ac/heating it would cost more. And if you buy and then do a finish basement, you have to pay for it, if you buy a house with finished basement then your downpayment will only increase slightly. Still, you should buy a house you like. Finish basement isn't hard to do, as long as you can pay to get it done. BUt the main thing is that to find a good quality experience basement renovation or construction contractor. That will help you much.
