New help to resell property near airports

Who can benefit?

The aid is intended for homeowners whose dwelling in question:

• is located within a moderate noise zone (Lden index between 55 and 62 db) set by a future order for each aerodrome concerned;
• has been purchased, rebuilt or has increased the floor area by more than 40 m² between the date of publication of the act approving the concession contract for the new aerodrome and the date of the State's announcement of the maintenance and upgrading of the existing aerodrome.

How is the amount of this aid fixed?

The amount of this aid is fixed at the price which the property would have had on the date of its sale if the aerodrome had not been maintained at the existing site, less the transfer price. Where the transfer price is less than 90% of the estimated market value at the date of its sale, the aid amount shall be equal to the price that the property would have had at the date of its sale if the aerodrome had not been maintained at the existing site, less 90% of this value.

When should you apply?
