1 per square metre in Scellier free and 12

It is one of the real estate which is reformed flagship products. The Scellier scheme, offering nine housing for rental buyers a tax of 25 of the purchase price (37 for the social Scellier), represented two thirds of the new dwellings sold 105,000 last year. Its dangers were however pointing finger ("Les Echos" of May 6, 2010), the rent ceilings set for implementing rental being often well above market rents with the key, the risk for a rental investment candidates to be rechecked by the unrealistic promises of cost-effectiveness of unscrupulous marketers. The revision downward limits of rent has to be determined, announced Secretary of State for housing, Benoist Apparu, in an interview with the "echoes". Dividing the territory into areas A, B1, B2 and C (excluded from the Scellier), in order of decreasing voltage of the rental market, determines the applicable rent ceiling. This division into three zones was also controversial. It is refined to avoid skidding observed with the Robien rental scheme.

What is thinking about a redistribution of the applicable rental plan Scellier geographical areas

There are currently a significant disparity in rents of market in the same area. This is particularly the case of area A, where the housing market is the most tense. According to the locations of area A, market rent will simply to double. Between Paris intramural and localities located 20 kilometres, for example. We want a truth about rental operation to protect the future purchasers via rent reflecting more the reality of the market, on the one hand, and to strengthen the social counterpart to the tax advantage granted, on the other hand. Redistribution and the revision to the decline of the corresponding rent ceilings are refereed and the decree will be published soon.

The current applicable to the area rent ceiling was either 21,72 EUR per square metre for the free Scellier and 17.38 EUR for the intermediate Scellier, appears excessive with reality of certain markets and can induce the investor in error. The area has unique rest, we do not create two areas, however, in this area, we are introducing two price ceilings. Zone A rent ceilings are unchanged for Paris and a part of the small Crown as Saint-Denis, Montreuil, Saint-Ouen-les-Moulineaux, Levallois-Perret, Vincennes, Fontenay-sous-Bois... All the rest of the area A is applied a new ceiling of rent, which will be less than 26. It leads to a ceiling of EUR 16.1 per square metre in Scellier free and 12.9 euros per square metre in Scellier intermediate.

We review the current rent ceilings of two other eligible areas at the Scellier also downward. The ceiling of the B1 zone, which is currently 15.1 euros per square metre free Scellier and 12.08 EUR in Scellier, intermediate is reduced by 14. The same decrease of 14 will also apply to the ceilings of the intermediate area B2 (currently 12,35 euros in free Scellier) and 9.88 Scellier euros.

What of zone C, ineligible to the Scellier scheme

Always to overcome the problem of heterogeneity of housing in the same area, the finance law for 2010 had provided the possibility of a ministerial approval to make the Scellier in area C, at the request of the municipality or competent EPCI planning, subject to strict conditions proving the existence of tensions in the local market. I received a dozen brands of interest of members of Parliament for this approval, but could not be granted because the regulations were not published. I have to sign the necessary Decree, which will be released in the coming days. But I insist: the Scellier is a product of housing and in no case a financial product must be morality market.

What about 168 Commons with little need for housing, which should be downgraded in zone C two years ago and which were not Is this not a factor of drift

The recovery plan, the Scellier played a very important role, and we had decided in 2009 not the gripper. Remember that he has saved nearly 50,000 jobs in the construction and allowed to sell 65,000 new homes last year. But we will look at the end of the situation of the 168 municipalities that had been put under surveillance in 2008. We will however not beyond go, a general review of the zoning will be not performed before a year or two.

What is the schedule

Falling rent ceilings and the introduction of new area A limits come into force for the deeds of sale signed from January 1, 2011 and building permits filed after this date. Moreover, I present to here in three weeks the overall redesign of the aid to the home ownership. Topics remaining to arbitrate. Concerning tax niches, need them down and the tax benefit of the Scellier scheme is of course concerned, but the form that will take the reform is not yet determined. The last great record of re-entry is the implementation of the measures announced one emergency shelter policy. They must be operational before the winter and a point will be made in the fall.
