Costs of buying new-build property in Morocco
The development price is only part of the total budget. Exact costs depend on the transaction and should be confirmed by qualified professionals before commitment.
Separate reservation from acquisition
Document every amount requested, its contractual basis, refund conditions and treatment in the final price. Do not confuse a sales hold with an acquisition deed.
Budget transaction costs
Request a current estimate of applicable duties, fees and formalities. Add banking costs and security requirements where finance is used.
Cost the post-handover phase
Furnishing, connections, insurance, condominium charges, management and minor corrections can affect cash flow immediately after handover.
Compare a complete budget
Request a dated breakdown separating the unit price, annexes, transaction costs and move-in expenses. Clarify what specifications include: kitchen, air conditioning, lighting and furniture should not be assumed included. Obtain quotes for missing items and keep a separate reserve. The cash needed at each stage depends on the actual schedule as well as the final total.
Clarify each estimate
An overall percentage does not replace an estimate for the particular transaction. Record who prepared each amount, when and on what basis. Confirm costs with the relevant professional before committing. When comparing currencies, state your working exchange rate and check bank charges separately. A simulation rate is not a promise of the rate applied to a transfer.
