Location is everything.
The services too. Let's see why:
#2 HIGH END

&
ADAPTED APARTMENT TYPOLOGY
Ensure
quality services and a typology of apartment adapted to the market
Today, the
quality of construction is also a significant parameter.
A key point
for the real estate sale in the future in good
condition and when the time is right for you.
It is
important to select a property with services that meet the demands of a
clientele who does not come to the mountains just to ski!
Gone are
the days of the 20 m² cabin studios where we crammed in for an intensive ski
weekend.
Today it is
preferable to favor large apartments. Both for resale and for tourist rental in
the case of rental investment. Studio cabins and other very small spaces are
now discounted for seasonal rentals.
Be sure to
ensure a good configuration of the apartment: spacious living rooms, large
terrace or balcony, pleasant well equipped kitchen for cooking with the family,
rooms in the form of ensuites with private bathroom to avoid traffic jams for
the shower upon returning from ski...Most families like to cook at home so
having a comfortable space adapted for this is essential
Today,
vacationers aspire to find at least the same comfort as at home, if not better!
Underfloor
heating, electric roller shutters, large showers, electric shoe dryers are all
services which . And to go further, additional equipment such as a Jacuzzi, a
sauna, a spa bath, a fireplace provide undeniable added value to appeal to the
greatest number of vacationers or future buyers when you wish to resell your
property.
Some
buildings also offer common areas with gym, sauna and hammam, relaxation room
which can be great assets. On the other hand, although it may seem tempting, it
is preferable to avoid swimming pools which will considerably increase the
co-ownership charges due to the very regular maintenance which must be devoted
to them. Instead, choose a property close to an aquatic center which offers
these facilities.
