Why buy an off-plan property in Mauritius?

Mauritius, the jewel in the crown of the Indian Ocean, is attracting more and more property investors in search of promising opportunities. Among the judicious choices available, buying a property on a VEFA (Vente en l’Etat Futur d’Achèvement) basis stands out. This article will explore in detail why buying a VEFA property in Mauritius represents a lucrative and intelligent investment strategy.

 

1. Substantial savings, tax benefits and comprehensive support

Investing in a VEFA (Vente en l’Etat Futur d’Achèvement) property in Mauritius is not only a sound financial decision, it’s also an opportunity to make significant savings while benefiting from comprehensive support throughout your investment process.
One of the main financial advantages of buying off-plan is the substantial savings on the total cost of the property. Developers, eager to attract first-time buyers, frequently offer attractive prices for properties under construction. This advantageous strategy enables investors to acquire a property at a lower cost than after the project has been finalized. What’s more, the notary fees associated with a VEFA purchase are generally lower than those for a conventional acquisition, which further contributes to the overall savings achieved.

Mauritius further enhances the financial appeal of VEFA investment by offering a particularly attractive tax regime for foreign investors. Tax benefits include advantageous capital gains taxation, offering a favorable long-term financial outlook for foreign buyers. This combination of savings on purchase and advantageous tax regime positions Mauritius as an ideal destination for those seeking to maximize their return on investment in real estate.

2. Customization and modernity

Buying through a VEFA (Vente en l’Etat Futur d’Achèvement) offers future homeowners a unique experience, with the possibility of shaping their future home to suit their personal preferences. This exclusive privilege is one of the major advantages of VEFA investment in Mauritius.
Property developers specializing in VEFA understand the importance of creating living spaces that perfectly match their customers’ individual tastes and expectations. This gives buyers the opportunity to personalize various aspects of their future property. Whether in terms of finishes, choice of materials or even interior layout, every detail can be adapted to create an environment that truly reflects the owner’s personality and lifestyle.
Customization isn’t just about aesthetics, it also extends to practical considerations. Purchasers can influence the layout of rooms to suit their specific needs, optimizing the use of space according to their lifestyle. This flexibility is particularly valuable, allowing potential owners to design a space that perfectly meets their requirements, whether for a primary residence, long-term rental or property intended for seasonal rental.

This meticulous personalization, combined with the quality of construction and financial advantages, makes VEFA a preferred option for those looking for an exclusive residence tailored to their specific needs.

 

3. Increased profitability thanks to strong tourist or expatriate demand

Mauritius stands out as a renowned tourist destination, attracting travelers from all over the world in search of paradisiacal beaches, breathtaking scenery and a unique atmosphere. This constant tourist attraction creates a sustained demand for housing, paving the way for particularly lucrative real estate investment opportunities.
Investing in a VEFA (Vente en l’Etat Futur d’Achèvement) property in Mauritius is a wise strategy to take advantage of this growing demand. Whether you plan to use your property as a primary residence, convert it to seasonal rental or dedicate it to a long-term rental yield, strong tourist demand is an undeniable driver of profitability.

Highly attractive areas such as the north, with its jewels like Grand Baie, Pereybere and Mont Choisy, and the west, with popular destinations like Tamarin, Flic en Flac, La Gaulette and Le Morne, are proving to be hotbeds of exceptional real estate opportunities.
The north of the island offers a dynamic setting with its white sandy beaches, sophisticated shopping centers and varied tourist attractions. These features make it a popular destination for investors looking to capitalize on high tourist demand and offer attractive vacation rentals.
Similarly, the west of the island attracts investors with its blend of Mauritian authenticity, pristine beaches and water sports.
