Buying off-plan or selling in the future state of completion (VEFA) consists, for the buyer, in acquiring a property to be built.  <\/span>
Real estate companies offer prospective buyers new properties, still at the project stage, on plan or sometimes even in virtual visit thanks to the animated 3D plan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reserve your property on plan<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have decided on a property, you will commit to the seller by signing a reservation contract (unlike the purchase of already built properties, you will not sign a preliminary sales agreement).<\/span>

The final sales contract can only be concluded once the necessary building permits have been issued by the relevant authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this point onwards, the contract for the sale of the new off-plan home must be signed before a notary. As soon as the contract is signed, you become the owner of the land and of what has already been built, and will have to pay for the work as it progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
