Developments for sale.

Each listing has photos, floor plans and price.

What we check before you reserve.

With a new build you pay before the home exists. That is why we check it before the reservation, not at the notary.

  • Building licenceThat the development has a licence and that what is being built matches the approved project.
  • What you pay up frontThat the amounts you pay before handover are protected by a bank guarantee or insurance, as the law requires.
  • Specifications and plansThat the contract reflects the specifications and floor area you were shown, and what happens if they change.
  • Handover dateThe committed date, the penalties for delay and when you can terminate the contract.
  • Developer’s mortgageHow it is split between the homes and that yours reaches completion free of charges.
  • Reservation and purchase contractThe developer’s clauses, checked by a lawyer before you sign anything.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us about new builds.

What happens to the money I pay before handover?

By law the developer must guarantee the amounts you pay up front with a bank guarantee or insurance. If the home is not finished or not handed over by the agreed date, you can recover them with interest. Before you pay anything we check that the guarantee exists and covers your home.

What taxes do you pay when buying a new build?

On the first sale of a new home you pay VAT instead of the transfer tax that applies to resales, plus stamp duty on the deed. We work it out for your case before you reserve.

Do I have to take on the developer’s mortgage?

No, unless you want to. The building’s mortgage is split between the homes: at completion you can take over your share or buy the home free of charges. We check it in the contract.

Can I ask for changes to the home?

It depends on the developer and the stage of the works. If they agree, get them in writing, with price and timing, before you pay for them.
