Toulouse, Gironde and the Alps. In Toulouse, a new villa in Les Argoulets (page), two new flats in the Saint-Étienne district (page and page) and a renovated one-bed flat in Casselardit (page). A new four-room flat with a terrace in Castanet-Tolosan (page) and a new top-floor duplex with a terrace in Blanquefort, in the Gironde (page). In Haute-Savoie, an architect-designed villa on Lake Annecy in Sevrier (page).

New, renovated or existing: what changes when you buy

Six properties on this page are presented as new, delivered and never occupied: the four-room flat in Castanet-Tolosan, the villa in Les Argoulets, the two flats in Saint-Étienne in Toulouse, the duplex in Blanquefort and the villa in Sevrier, the last without a delivery date. For the first five, the listing gives reduced notary fees: 2.5% of the price at most for four of them, or €9,975 to €35,850 depending on the property, and no figure for the Argoulets villa. On existing property, notary fees are more like 7 to 8% of the price.

The regime depends on the nature of the sale, not the apparent condition of the home: a flat renovated in an old mansion house, like the one in Casselardit, counts as existing property. Have the regime confirmed by the notary before you set your budget.

In Toulouse, the Argoulets villa is offered at two prices, €359,000 with VAT reduced to 5.5% subject to eligibility conditions, and €409,000 with VAT at 20%. Both prices are for the same property.

Price benchmarks

The prices in the list below are asking prices set by sellers, not recorded sales. Several are stated with agency fees included, which each property page specifies. A new flat in Castanet-Tolosan, a longère in the Vienne and a villa on Lake Annecy cannot be compared with one another. To place a price, compare the property with nearby listings of the same size and condition, then check the averages published for the town by PAP, Efficity or Qoridor.
