Waterloo pitfall to avoid

The myth of the included parking space.

In Waterloo, parking is almost always charged separately (€15,000 to €35,000 per space). Read the deed of sale carefully: some developers do not even include the basement in the advertised price. Systematically request the detail of paid annexes before signing and negotiate the full package.

Témoignage acheteur
« On an €850,000 T3, their report had €14,000 of defects fixed. Widely paid off. »
