The advantages of buying new build properties:

You benefit of a very protective guarantee, which protects you from any damages. It is a 10 year building guarantee (la décénale) similar to the National House Builders Guarantee. With this guarantee, you are sure that you will not have to spend more money for property maintenance or anything else, because you will be covered by the guarantee.

No work to do and low maintenance, therefore no over costs!

Security – Most of the time the residency has a gate at the main entrance, a secured door, with a digital code at the building entrance.

Location: new build properties are located in nice places, normally by coast, golf, ski resorts or in popular towns rather than set alone away from amenities.

Easy to resell or rent including guaranteed rental possibilities: You will find a wide market making it easier to sell than a unique property which may only appeal to a smaller section of the market.

Lower notary' fees. Fees are around 3% against 6-7% for older properties.
