Moutfort Real Estate: New Apartments East of Luxembourg City

Moutfort is a small village in the commune of Contern, in the Luxembourg countryside between the capital and the Moselle valley. It has a quiet residential feel with fields close by, and a short drive to Luxembourg Airport and the business parks around Contern and Sandweiler. Buyers often accept a car-dependent lifestyle in exchange for greener surroundings.

Typical buyers are institution and finance staff, and families looking for more space than the capital offers.

There is no general ban on foreign buyers. A notary prepares the deed, and registration and transcription duties together add several percent. New-build apartments bought off-plan may carry VAT at a reduced rate for a primary home, subject to conditions; ask the notary. Banks lend up to about 80% to residents, typically less for non-residents.

Contern, Oetrange, Schuttrange and Sandweiler are within a few minutes. Dalheim and Filsdorf are towards the Moselle and the southern border.
