Buying new real estate has advantages over the old. The accommodation is ready to move into as soon as it is delivered and does not require any work either immediately or in the years to come. There are therefore no additional costs to anticipate in your budget. In the case of a VEFA (Sale in the Future State of Completion), the guarantees cover you against any faulty workmanship or construction defects.
New housing must be built in compliance with the 2012 thermal regulations (RT 2012). You therefore benefit from optimized energy consumption thanks to high-performance insulation and energy-efficient equipment to heat, cool or light the home.
The notary fees for a new home amount to 2 to 3% of the sale price (count on average 6 to 8% for the old one). In addition, you can benefit from tax advantages if you make a rental investment by buying new.
