According to a study by the specialist platform Maslow, the profitability of new and old properties in the context of a rental investment mainly depends on the place where you wish to acquire a property.

Perhaps you want to make a rental investment in France but you are hesitating between new and old? A study from the specialized platform, Maslow, looked into the question. It shows that the profitability of new and old properties depends mainly on the place where you wish to acquire a property.

Buying from the old has disadvantages

Buying in an old house has disadvantages: notary fees are higher and the cost of energy renovation must be taken into account to anticipate the ban on the rental of the most energy-intensive housing from 2025. In order to avoid these constraints, you can choose to buy new, it is even more profitable in certain cities such as La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Orléans or Nantes. “The common points in these cities is that we are dealing with old real estate which is very expensive. And they are also cities in which rental tension is very high,” explains Pierre-Emmanuel Ju, deputy director by Maslow.

But the old one remains a wiser choice in certain cities

But the former option proves more judicious in certain areas, according to the Maslow platform. “Clermont-Ferrand tops our list, Perpignan, Reims, Nîmes and Caen. Of these five cities, we will have a gap between the old renovated and the new of between 22% and 30%,” says Pierre -Emmanuel Ju at the microphone of Europe 1.

Be careful though: if you opt for the old one, you will undoubtedly have to do interior insulation work, which will reduce the living space and therefore the rent applicable to the accommodation.
