Building new in France costs less than buying old — not in theory, in your bank account. Lower notaire fees, zero hidden defects, running costs as low as €35 a month. We guide you through every step.
When you buy an existing property, notaire fees of 8–10% apply to the entire price. When you build from scratch, you pay fees only on the land. The construction contract carries zero notaire fees.
Save up to €15,000+Every new build complies with RE2020 — France's highest energy standard. Heat pump heating and cooling. Superior insulation throughout. A poorly insulated older property can cost 10x that in winter.
RE2020 certifiedNo asbestos. No lead. No damp. No roof to replace in year two. Everything is new, certified, and covered by legal guarantees for ten full years. Zero nasty surprises.
10-year guaranteeYou choose the layout, the materials, the finishes. From a 2-bedroom bungalow to a 6-bedroom villa. You are not adapting your life to someone else's house. You are creating a house that fits your life.
Fully bespokeThe CCMI construction contract fixes your price. Once you sign, that's the price — the builder cannot come back with additional invoices. Your budget is protected by French law.
CCMI protectedHeat pump, double glazing, electric roller shutters, VMC ventilation, RE2020 insulation — all included as standard. Features that would cost thousands to retrofit into an older property.
Turnkey includedThe Contrat de Construction de Maison Individuelle is one of the most important pieces of consumer protection legislation in France. It was introduced specifically to protect buyers from cost overruns, delays, poor workmanship, and contractor insolvency.
Every major structural element — foundations, walls, roof — covered for a full decade. If something fails, it is covered. No argument, no negotiation.
Heat pump, ventilation, shutters, appliances — all covered for two years from the day you move in.
Every defect you report in year one must be corrected. Every single one. However small.
