Bare ownership of these houses for sale from 2,250 euros

Buying bare ownership of a home is a way to invest in real estate at a lower cost than full ownership. This means that you become the owner of the property, but do not have the use and enjoyment that belongs to the user. Usually, the user is the previous owner who sells the bare property to get cash and continue living in their home until their death.

Buying a home in bare ownership can be an interesting option for people who want to buy a residential property on a long-term basis and are in no hurry to move in. If this is your case, don't hesitate to check out over 300 properties in bare ownership with prices starting from €2,250. It should be noted that there are some legal, tax and operational aspects to consider before committing the transaction, so it is recommended to consult a lawyer.

Buying a bare property, what advantages does it have?

Investing in bare ownership is a way of investing in real estate that offers several advantages, with the main one being the low market price. Buying a bare ownership of a home can reduce the price of the home by 30-50% off the market price. Thus, it is possible to find houses for all tastes, where the cheapest ones cost from 2,250 euros and the most expensive ones can exceed a million euros.

Another factor to consider is the future yield. The buyer expects to become the full owner upon termination of the right of use, which typically occurs by the death of the user's rights. Thus, the buyer will be free to sell, rent or live in the property without having to pay any compensation to the user. In addition, the value of real estate can increase over time, providing an opportunity to make a profit.

There are tax advantages that come along with acquiring bare ownership of real estate. The buyer will pay less taxes for owning the property because the cost of the home is lower. In addition, he or she will not have to pay property tax (IBI), as well as additional fees such as dormitory contribution and the cost of a Certificate of Energy Efficiency (CEE), which are usually covered by the user.

What rights does a bare owner have?

An owner of property in bare ownership has a number of rights to be aware of:

• The disposition of the full ownership of real property upon termination of the right of use, by death or abandonment to the user or other lawful grounds
• Sale, gift or transfer of bare possession to another person, provided that the right of use is retained
• A claim against the user for ordinary housing expenses, such as utilities or property taxes, which he must pay for his right of use
• A claim against the user for the repair of damage or injury to the dwelling caused by improper or negligent use
• Visit and monitor the condition of the dwelling with prior notification and consent of the user
