New Build French Property

While most Brits hanker after characterful stone built re-sale properties in France, the French themselves are increasingly turning to new or recently built houses.

What they lose in ‘old world charm’ they more than make up for in comfort and easy maintenance. When you work all year so you can put your feet up and enjoy your holiday home in the sun, the last thing you want when you finally reach your property is to have to spend all your time on renovations and maintenance. If you want a truly low-maintenance house in France then new property – with a manageable garden – might be the perfect solution for you.

Advantages include a deposit of only 5% (10% for resale), and lower notaires’s fees and taxes of between 2.5% and 3.5% (6% -10% for resale).

Your new French property might also be available ‘off-plan’ and/or as a leaseback property – both of which come with additional advantages.

As you can see from these pages, new property built to the high specifications of the French building industry, is sometimes as characterful as re-sale property!
