Why would a builder use solid ones if the perforated ones would be the same cost (assuming) and help the attic breathe better?
If the soffit is within I believe 1.2m of the property line it has to be non-vented. You can look the distance up online, but when I did my garage I followed that, and the inspector definitely noted it.
