Advantages of Buying New Real Estate
There are many benefits to buying new real estate: you’ll enjoy the latest RT2012 standards, enhanced comfort with insulation, heating, and quality amenities. New purchases are made by reservation through a regulated VEFA (sale of property in future state of completion) contract. You’ll receive complete information on the delivery date, planned amenities, payment schedule, and layout of your future property.
