New development Bela Pierra in La Clusaz, three premium chalets close to the piste

Buying off-plan (VEFA): a custom new chalet in La Clusaz

Purchasing a property off-plan (VEFA – Vente en l’État Futur d’Achèvement) allows you to buy a brand-new chalet before or during its construction. Ownership is transferred progressively as the building work advances, while benefiting from a highly secure legal framework.

As part of the Bela Pierra development in La Clusaz, this purchase structure offers several key advantages:

• Reduced notary fees (approximately 2–3%)

• Developer warranties, including the ten-year structural warranty and completion guarantee

• High energy performance in line with the latest RE2020 standards

• The possibility to personalise certain interior features and finishes

Buying off-plan therefore allows you to enjoy a new mountain chalet, built to the latest construction standards, in a privileged setting in the heart of the Aravis mountains.

Why buy a new chalet in La Clusaz ?

Choosing a new-build development in La Clusaz offers a level of comfort and performance that is difficult to match with older properties.

The chalets in the Bela Pierra development have been designed to meet today’s expectations:

• Contemporary Alpine architecture

• High-quality materials and premium finishes

• Efficient insulation and optimal thermal comfort

• Latest energy standards (RE2020)

• Design tailored for mountain living

Purchasing a new property also allows buyers to benefit from reduced notary fees, typically between 2% and 3% of the purchase price, compared with around 7% to 8% for existing properties. This financial advantage can represent significant savings and helps optimise the overall budget of a mountain real estate project.

Beyond the quality of construction, purchasing a new property also represents a long-term real estate investment in one of the most sought-after Alpine resorts.

Rental investment and VAT recovery (para-hotel regime)

As part of a rental investment, purchasing a property in the Bela Pierra development may allow buyers to recover the 20% VAT on the purchase price, subject to certain conditions.

This mechanism operates under the para-hotel tax regime, which is particularly well suited to ski resorts such as La Clusaz. It involves renting out your furnished property while providing para-hotel services (such as guest reception, linen and cleaning).

The potential benefits can be significant:

• VAT recovery on the property purchase price

• Optimised rental taxation

• Possibility to combine personal use and rental income

• Strong rental potential in a ski resort destination
