NEW HOMES IN THE MOUNTAINS: WHY BUY NEW?
The Benefits of New Construction in the Mountains
Buying a property in a new-construction development offers the advantage of lower notary fees, typically between 2% and 3% (compared to 8% for existing homes), as well as a 5.5% VAT rate. You may also be eligible for programs such as the Pinel Law or the Zero-Interest Loan (PTZ), subject to certain conditions.
Buying off-plan also protects you from unexpected expenses such as facade restoration, roof repairs, or repairs to common areas, making it a significant advantage over buying an existing home.
