This is the cold shower for professionals in the real estate sector. After Elisabeth Borne’s announcements late Monday afternoon on the housing component of the National Council for Refoundation, the players in the sector admit to being disappointed and call on the government to rectify the situation by the start of the school year.
Extension of the zero-rate loan, the end of the Pinel device or the purchase of housing from developers… Faced with the housing crisis and the concern of the sector, Elisabeth Borne presented measures to raise the bar. However, at the end of the National Council for Refoundation dedicated to housing on Monday evening, professionals admit to being unconvinced.
Measures not “up to the situation”
“These are measures that are not up to the situation,” said at the microphone of Europe 1 Loïc Cantin, president of the National Federation of Real Estate, Fnaim. It must be said that after seven months of work within the National Council for Refoundation, the frustrations are immense. “These are measures that will continue to plunge France and other countries into a serious real estate crisis, as it has not known for several decades”, he judges. The latter regrets the end of the Pinel system, which could have continued in another form.
Another disappointment for professionals in the sector, on the evolution of the taxation of furnished tourist accommodation, such as Airbnb. For Christophe Robert, president of the Abbé-Pierre Foundation and co-host of this seminar, it could go much faster.
“It’s not acceptable”
“There is no need to redo a mission, we know what to do. Eliminate the tax niche, impose the same constraints in terms of renovation, etc. Because you know that today housing in the year can go to the platforms, because there are not the same constraints. That is not acceptable”, he judges.
This seminar is not conclusive, promised the government. But that was not enough to calm the anger. “See you in September. Faced with the emergency, the executive will this time be forced to react”, slips a participant before leaving.
