New-build property reduces some technical risks, while resale stock often occupies the most established locations. Compare total cost and net income, not only price per square metre.
The case for new build
Construction warranties, energy performance, modern layouts, parking and more predictable technical costs can simplify operation. Balance these benefits against the price premium, delivery risk and actual—not advertised—slope access.
The case for resale
Resale property offers proven locations, co-ownership history and potential value creation through renovation. Budget for roofs, façades, lifts, collective heating, windows and the cost of meeting premium guest expectations.
The price-per-square-metre trap
Two equal-sized properties may accommodate very different numbers of guests. Corridors, genuine beds, bathrooms, storage, balcony, parking and ski lockers affect revenue. Compare total cost per quality sleeping place and forecast net income.
Decision framework
Assess winter and summer location, private and shared works, energy rating, co-ownership rules, purchase tax, time to market and three revenue scenarios. A well-renovated resale home may beat new build; a strong new development may avoid years of works and downtime.
Whether new-build or resale, every property is assessed individually by ALPÉON before an offer is made. Its operating suitability helps determine a coherent guaranteed rent. Once the lease is signed, ALPÉON bears the commercial risk while the owner receives the contractually agreed income.
