Where would you like to live or invest?
France Spain
Five steps. One single contact.
Several months, sometimes more than two years. At every step, you know where things stand, and who to call.
The first call
A call to understand your project, budget, timeline and borrowing capacity.
The shortlist
A shortlist of developments chosen from our 150 developers, with floor plans, price lists and analysis.
The reservation
Choosing the unit, reviewing the reservation contract and specifications. 10-day cooling-off period in France.
The deed of sale
Coordination with your bank and the notary through to signing the final deed.
Handover of the keys
Construction follow-up, stage payments, handover inspection and support with snagging.
Buying off-plan is protected by law.
Financial completion guarantee
If the developer fails, a financial institution guarantees the completion and delivery of the property.
10 days to change your mind
Once you receive the signed reservation contract, you have a 10-day cooling-off period, no reason needed.
Capped deposit
5% maximum, held in an escrow account until the deed is signed.
1, 2 and 10-year guarantees
Perfect completion (1 year), fixtures and equipment (2 years) and a ten-year structural guarantee.
Reduced notary fees
For new-build homes, notary fees are around 2 to 3% of the price, with 20% VAT included in the advertised price.
Structural damage insurance
In the event of a structural claim, compensation funds the necessary works without waiting for a court decision.
Payments are guaranteed
Payments made before delivery are covered by a bank guarantee or insurance, and refundable if the home is not delivered.
1, 3 and 10-year guarantees
Finishes (1 year), habitability defects (3 years) and structural elements (10 years).
A lawyer is essential
They vet the developer, the building permit and the nota simple. The notary only steps in at the end.
No legal cooling-off period
Unlike France: a fixed deposit of €3,000 to €10,000 is paid to the developer, which is why expert support matters.
Allow 12 to 14% in costs
10% IVA, AJD regional tax, lawyer, notary and registration come on top of the price.
Owner on delivery
The sale is signed at the notary’s office on delivery, then entered in the Registro de la Propiedad.
General information for guidance only, not legal or tax advice. Each project is checked case by case with the notary, and in Spain with an independent lawyer.
New-build saves you money from day one.
In France, notary fees on a new-build home are around three times lower than on an older property, and often paid by the developer. Move the slider to see the difference for your project.
In Spain, plan ahead for your purchase costs.
In Spain, purchase costs come on top of the price of a new-build home: IVA (Spanish VAT), AJD stamp duty, notary, land registry and lawyer. Move the slider to estimate the full budget for your project.
Often paid by the developerOn many new developments, the developer covers the notary fees. Your saving then reaches 22,500 €
Indicative estimate based on average rates. The exact amount depends on the area, the price and disbursements; it is confirmed by the notary.
For a new-build home on the mainland and in the Balearic Islands. In the Canary Islands, IGIC replaces IVA. Indicative estimate: the AJD rate depends on the autonomous community; amounts are confirmed by the lawyer and the notary.
Buying off-plan means buying a promise. My job is to make sure it is kept: the right location, the right price, and a contract you understand line by line.
