EUROPE

Household savings rates in southern Europe have risen to their highest levels in decades due to the Covid-19 restrictions in 2020 and 2021, protecting incomes to a large extent and reducing spending.

As a result, “off-plan schemes are more likely to be purchased remotely, and 50 per cent of our sales are sight unseen,” the marketing director of Affinity Spain on the Costa del Sol James Vizetelly said.

There is an increase in sales of off-the-plan apartments in Andalucia because of a reduction in property taxes and stamp duty on new constructions from 1.5 per cent to 1.2 per cent.

At the end of 2022, Greece will no longer charge a 24 per cent VAT on newly constructed homes, instead of charging only an additional 3 per cent transfer tax and decreasing annual property taxes by an average of 8 percentage points (ENFIA). Dormant buyers came back to life as a result.

In England and Wales, 33% of new home completions last year were sold off-plan, equating to 49,000 new homes, according to Hamptons’ most recent analysis from their first Off-Plan Sales Index in 2020.

In 2020, off-plan sales of new homes in London were still higher than in any other part of the country. More than half of the new homes built in the capital were sold before they were even finished. Between 90% and 95% of all new home sales in London are currently flats, which are more likely to be sold off-plan than houses.

Off-the-plan flat sales in England and Wales were also highest in Northern England. More than 80 per cent of flat completions in the North East were sold off-plan last year, while in the North West, 68 per cent were. 91 per cent of flats completed in Newcastle last year were pre-sold, with investors typically buying a large portion of the property.

There was also a slight increase in new house sales during the construction stage from 35.3% in July to 37.1% in August. From 36.9 per cent to 29.1 per cent, the percentage of new homes that were sold after completion decreased.
