Buying New Build Property ‘Off Plan’ in France

 

The Construction Process

Buying a new property from plan in France is a simple, straightforward procedure with specific construction stages. Projects are launched approximately 8-10 months before construction begins and we present below an overview of the different stages involved.

Scale Model

French developers as a rule do not build show houses. The sales office will, however, generally have a scale model of the project.

Field / Site

When a new project is launched it is just a field or site. From our visits we bring back a selection of photographs showing the site and surroundings. It is the ideal stage to view.

Construction progresses according to the legal stages noted in the reservation contract. The concrete stage is always the least attractive part of the build and requires some vision!
