Investing in new-build property, a smart investment

Whether you want to live in a newly built home yourself or choose to invest in property to rent, real estate remains a stable and tangible way to build wealth.

The combination of rising demand for rented accommodation, tax incentives and the continued scarcity in the housing market is once again making investing in new construction a particularly interesting option.

Tax benefit: 6% VAT for investors

The government encourages redevelopment projects via a reduced VAT rate of 6% on demolition and reconstruction. While previously this only applied to individuals moving into the property themselves, investors can now also benefit from it, provided they meet certain conditions:

  • The property must be let residentially for at least 15 years
  • Or rented to a social housing company

This tax advantage significantly reduces entry costs and offers investors an opportunity to bolster their returns, especially in a market that is cautiously gaining momentum.

Reasons to invest in property

Building wealth over the long term

Property offers the opportunity to grow your wealth. In addition to generating rental income, your property may increase in value over time, potentially yielding a capital gain when you sell. Property can also provide protection against inflation, as its value and rental income can rise in line with prices.

Additional income from letting

Letting your property provides you with monthly rental income. Once your loan is repaid, you no longer have monthly loan repayments and can retain a larger share of that income. However, you should allow for maintenance, taxes and potential periods without tenants.

Meeting the need for rental housing

A quality, energy-efficient property meets the need for comfortable housing. New-build properties are an attractive option: tenants seek comfortable homes and manageable energy bills, while you, as the owner, invest in a property that meets current standards.

A tangible asset you control

You invest in a physical property and make your own decisions about letting, furnishing, improvements and a potential sale. This gives you direct control over your investment and allows you to respond to new needs or opportunities.

structuring your investment financially

By combining your own funds with a loan, you do not need to fund the full purchase price yourself. Alongside rental income and potential capital gains, tax treatment can also affect your net return. The costs or benefits that apply depend on your personal circumstances and how you invest.
