My advice for investing in a house to renovate in Le Val d'Hazey

Buying a house to renovate is often an excellent opportunity to become a homeowner or make a profitable real estate investment. In Le Val d'Hazey, this type of property is attracting more and more buyers thanks to often more accessible prices and a high potential for valorisation.

But be careful: a renovation project is not improvised. Before you start, it is essential to properly evaluate the property, the cost of the work and the prospects of the local market.

As an Optimhome real estate counsellor in Le Val d'Hazey, I accompany you to identify the best opportunities and secure your project. Discover my tips for a successful investment in a house to renovate.

Why invest in a house to renovate in Le Val d'Hazey?

The Val d'Hazey has a particularly attractive geographical location. Located between Vernon and Gaillon, near the A13 motorway and the SNCF station connecting Paris, the town attracts both families and workers looking for a pleasant living environment.

The local real estate market still offers old houses with real potential for renovation. These properties often allow you to acquire a larger area than a recent home, while fully personalising your future home.

For investors, these houses also represent an opportunity to create value through the work done.

The advantages of a house to renovate

Buy at an often more attractive price

Houses requiring work are generally offered at a lower price than renovated properties.

This difference allows:

*     to reduce the acquisition cost;
*     to increase the margin of negotiation;
*     to devote part of the budget to improvement work.
​
Enhance your heritage

A well thought-out renovation can significantly increase the value of the property.

Insulation, energy renovation, modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom or redevelopment of spaces are all improvements that appeal to future buyers or tenants.

Adapt the housing to your needs

Unlike a house already renovated, a property to renovate offers great freedom of development.

You can create a parental suite, open the living spaces, arrange the attic or completely modernise the interior according to your desires.

Properly assess the cost of the work

Before any acquisition, it is essential to accurately estimate the amount of renovations.

Remember to check in particular:

The roof

A roof in poor condition can represent a substantial budget. Prior control is essential.

The insulation

Improving energy performance is now an essential element, both for your comfort and for the future value of the property.

Electrical and plumbing installations

A upgrade may be necessary on old houses.

The heating

Replacing an old heating system often reduces energy consumption while improving the classification of the DPE.

Financial aid for renovation

Depending on your situation and the nature of the work, several devices can help finance your project.

Among the main aids are:

*     MyPremiumRenov';

*     the zero-rate eco-loan;

*     some local or regional aid;

*     energy saving certificates (EEC).

These devices are changing regularly. It is therefore recommended to check the eligibility conditions before starting the work.

Points of vigilance before buying

Before signing a compromise, several elements deserve special attention.

Real estate diagnostics

They make it possible to identify possible constraints:

*     asbestos;

*     lead;

*     termites;

*     energy performance;

*     state of the electrical or gas installation.

The rules of urban planning

If you are considering an extension, a facade modification or the creation of openings, consult the urban planning rules applicable to the municipality.

The overall budget

The purchase cost is only part of your investment.

Don't forget to include:

*     notary fees;

*     the work;

*     any unforeseen events;

*     taxes;

*     financing costs.

Providing a security envelope is always a good practice.

FAQ: Investing in a house to renovate in Le Val d'Hazey

Is a house to be renovated still profitable?

Not systematically. It all depends on the purchase price, the amount of the work, the location and the market value after renovation.

Can we get funding for the work?
