What financial aid when having a house built?
You've decided to build a modern house in South Finistère and would like to know about the financial assistance available to help you with this project. There are many options available, including the PTZ (Prêt à Taux Zéro), the PAS (Prêt à l'Accession Sociale), exemption from property tax and other subsidies. Polimmo La Maison can tell you more about this financial assistance and the conditions for accessing it.
The PTZ (zero-rate loan)
The PTZ is available for new builds or the purchase of a previously unoccupied home, regardless of income level.
Mandatory condition: the property must become your principal residence. Your location, income and the number of people in your household are taken into account when calculating the monthly repayments.

The PAS (Prêt à l'Accession Sociale - social housing loan)
The PAS is a regulated loan for people on low incomes. Only banks that have signed an agreement with the government can grant it, subject to means testing. Your property - house or land - must be your principal residence.
