Renovation aids: available schemes and eligibility conditions

Some examples of projects:

• Strengthening foundations or replacing a roof;

• Installation or renovation of water, electricity or gas networks;

• Installation of a bathroom and toilets;

• Installation of an access ramp.

Depending on the initial state of the housing and the type of work undertaken, the aids and their amounts vary. In the first category, we find major works for which the ceiling of subsidizable works is set at €1,000 excl. tax / m² within a limit of €80,000 per housing unit. They refer to the rehabilitation of housing whose level of degradation has been noted by a diagnosis or an order of unsanitary conditions or danger.

Such conditioning of the housing also results in a tax advantage. For more details, please visit here.
