Question 17079 — housing

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Peu draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, responsible for cities and housing, on the measures to be put in place to combat bad practices of developers in terms of sales in the future state of completion. In 2018, disputes linked to this type of sale increased by 84% and according to a study by UFC-Que Choisir, on 2017, nearly 1 in 3 housing units was delivered late and the analysis of the causes revealed the importance of causes exempting liability, particularly those linked to bad weather. Furthermore, only 1 in 5 homes is delivered without reservation and 1/10th of these homes are delivered even though they are uninhabitable (no heating, no water). Finally, the absence of financial compensation when the surface area of ​​the housing delivered is smaller (up to 5%) of the area sold causes even greater damage when the market is tight and the price per m² is high. The needs are clear. Buyers need protection by improving the legal framework for the causes of postponement of delivery, by making late penalties mandatory, by prohibiting delivery when the habitability of a home is not guaranteed, by providing for a deposit compulsory and systematic of part of the price until the reserves are completely lifted, ensuring financial compensation in the event of a reduction in surface area. It is in this context that he wishes to know the measures that will be taken to provide more protection to buyers in the context of sales in the future state of completion.
