For example, you will have the freedom to choose ceramic tiles or any other type of flooring for the shower rooms, to request laminate flooring in the living rooms, to furnish a kitchen to your taste or to select the equipment of your bathroom (basin unit, Italian shower, towel warmer, etc.).

You have to know that if you buy a new property in Luxembourg, that property comes with a ten-year warranteewhich, as its name suggests, remains valid for 10 years after the end of the construction works. In practical terms, you benefit from an advantageous protection against possible defects. For example, in the event of a humidity issue that could affect the solidity of the building, the insurer will take over and finance the works required to secure the building.
