What is a VEFA purchase of a new property?

A new-build property refers to a recently constructed dwelling that has never been inhabited. This can be an apartment, a house, or a villa. Buying off-plan (VEFA - Vente en l'État Futur d'Achèvement) is a common method for acquiring a new property. This type of sale allows you to purchase a property based on plans before or during its construction.

Opting for an off-plan purchase provides specific guarantees, such as the completion guarantee and the ten-year warranty. This option also allows for the customization of the property according to your preferences, as well as staggered payments based on the progress of the construction, offering appreciable financial flexibility.

What are the advantages of buying a new-build property?

Buying a new property off-plan (VEFA - Vente en l'État Futur d'Achèvement) offers numerous economic and ecological advantages.
First, new-build properties benefit from the latest standards in construction and energy efficiency, ensuring optimal comfort and savings on your utility bills.
Additionally, new-build houses or apartments often come with guarantees, such as the ten-year warranty, which cover potential construction defects.
You can also customize your new home according to your tastes and needs, and benefit from reduced notary fees (between 2 and 3% of the sale price).
Finally, purchasing a new-build property can offer attractive tax benefits, particularly through tax reduction schemes such as the Pinel law or the Censi-Bouvard law.
