For olim and Anglo families buying in Israel
Everyone in that sales office works for the developer. We work for you.
Altitude Privé is a buyer’s agent. We represent purchasers, and only purchasers, across Israel’s finest new developments — with our own lawyer at the table from the first conversation to the day the keys are handed over.

The Israeli New-Build Market
No one in the room is on your side.
The agent in the sales office is paid by the developer. The lawyer whose desk you sit at is the developer’s lawyer. The contract is in Hebrew, and it is drafted, comprehensively, in the developer’s favour. The brochure shows a lobby that does not exist yet, on a floor plan that the technical specification quietly permits to change.
None of this is improper. It is simply the structure of the market — and in that structure, the buyer arrives alone, usually in a second language, frequently from six thousand kilometres away, and signs the largest cheque of their life.
Altitude Privé exists to correct that asymmetry. We are engaged by the buyer, paid by the buyer, and accountable to no one else.
A buyer's agent, in the true sense.
We take no developer mandates and no seller instructions on the new-build side. That is not a stylistic preference; it is what makes our advice worth taking. When we tell you a development is mispriced, over-specified, or three floors too low for the view you are paying for, there is nothing behind the opinion but the opinion.
A lawyer inside the office, not down the corridor
Israeli property is a lawyer’s transaction, not an agent’s. Our in-house counsel reads the chozeh, the technical specification, and the bank guarantee before you are asked to sign anything — and sits in the negotiation itself, where the amendments are actually won. Most buyers meet their lawyer after the terms have been agreed. By then the negotiation is over.
Off-plan as a specialism, not a sideline
Pre-construction is a different discipline from resale. Different risks, different leverage, different windows in which a price is genuinely movable. We track developments nationally from the planning stage — long before the sales office opens and long before the price becomes public.
Two disciplines, one side of the table.
Whichever way you buy, the office is engaged by you and answerable to no one else.
Off-Plan & Pre-Construction.
We track new developments across Israel from the planning file onward — the developer's delivery record, the accompanying bank, the plots that will rise in front of your view. Our own counsel reads the contract, the technical specification and the bank guarantee before you are asked to sign, and we negotiate what most buyers never think to raise: specification, parking and storage, payment weighting, index linkage, delivery dates and the compensation owed when a building runs late.

Completed & Ready Homes.
Not every purchase should be off-plan. Remaining units in finished buildings, second-hand apartments within recent developments, and select resale across the Anglo communities — represented on exactly the same terms, with the same counsel reading the contract before you sign. Where a resale is simply the better answer than a new build, we will tell you so, including on the occasions when it earns this office less.

Off-plan and pre-construction.
Bought correctly, an apartment purchased before it is built is the most advantageous transaction available to a private buyer in Israel. Bought incorrectly, it is a decade of regret secured by a contract nobody read to you.
Bought correctly.
- The price is set at the beginning.You buy at today's valuation and take delivery into a market three or four years forward.
- The money is staged.A deposit now, the balance drawn against construction milestones — not a single sum on the day you sign.
- The apartment is new.A modern mamad, current standards, contemporary systems, a statutory warranty period, and nothing inherited from a previous owner.
- The specification is influenceable.Before the concrete is poured, layouts, finishes and upgrades are genuinely negotiable. Afterwards, they are not.
- Every shekel is secured.Israeli law requires the developer to secure your payments — provided the money goes into the right account, against the right voucher.
Bought alone.
- The index.Prices are linked to the Construction Inputs Index. The sum finally payable can exceed the figure you agreed, by a margin most buyers never budget for.
- Payment outside the guarantee.Money paid anywhere other than the project's accompanying account may sit outside the guarantee entirely. This is the most expensive mistake made in the Israeli market.
- The technical specification.What binds is not the brochure or the show apartment. It is the annexed mifrat, in Hebrew, which typically permits substitution within tolerance.
- Delivery, and delay.Delay is normal. Compensation exists — but only within the framework your contract sets out, and only if that framework was improved before signature.
- The plot opposite.The render will never show the building that goes up in front of it. Your developer cannot promise you a view he does not own.
The difference between the two columns is entirely a matter of paperwork, and of timing.
How We Handle Off-PlanFrom Abroad
Six thousand kilometres away, and still the buyer in the room.
A great many of our clients buy an Israeli home without being in Israel to do it. Not because it is convenient — because the alternative is worse. The alternative is four rushed days in the country, three sales offices in an afternoon, and a decision made under the pressure of a return flight.
A purchase conducted properly from abroad is slower, better documented, and almost always better bought.
What it requires is not a plane ticket. It is a licensed office standing physically in the room on your behalf, a lawyer of your own reading the Hebrew before it is signed, and a narrowly drafted power of attorney that lets the transaction proceed without you — and lets nothing else proceed at all.
-
We attend, and we film.
Every viewing, sales office and site visit is attended by this office and recorded for you: the actual floor, the actual aspect, the actual plot opposite. Not the render. We walk the street on a Friday afternoon and again on a Tuesday morning, and you watch both.
-
Your counsel signs, not theirs.
The chozeh, the mifrat and the bank guarantee are read, amended and negotiated by our own lawyer before signature. Where you cannot attend, signature is effected under a notarial power of attorney drawn for that transaction and no other.
-
Money moves once, and correctly.
Funds are transferred against the project's accompanying-bank vouchers and nowhere else. Source-of-funds compliance is prepared in advance, in the format an Israeli bank actually accepts, before the first payment is due rather than after it is rejected.
-
Three years of custody.
Construction is monitored, milestone payments are called and checked, delay is documented, and handover inspection is attended on your behalf by an independent surveyor. You may hold keys in your hand for the first time on the day you move in.
The one thing we will not do is buy sight unseen and call it representation. Before contract, you will have seen more of that building, that street and that developer's record than most buyers who flew in.
Buying from Abroad: How It WorksRent first. Buy properly.
Most families arrive and rent, and they are right to. The purchase belongs to the second year, or the third — not the first month.
The country arrives.
Neighbourhoods reveal themselves on foot, and rarely as the brochure described them. Walk a street on a Friday afternoon and again on a Tuesday morning before you decide anything about it.
The life settles.
The school run finds its rhythm. The shul becomes a walk rather than a drive. The community stops being the one you imagined and becomes the one that is actually yours.
The purchase begins.
Only then does the right home come into focus — and the conversation begins in earnest, from knowledge rather than from hope. We will happily wait for it.
The office is built for that arc. Through our sister offices, many of our clients are known to us long before they buy — through the aliyah itself, the residency work, or simply a first rental. By the time the purchase conversation arrives, we already understand the family, the community they have chosen, and the kind of home they are looking for.
The search does not start from nothing. It starts from years of knowing.
For Olim: How The Purchase WorksNot published. Shown by conversation.
We keep a working register of new residential developments across Israel — the delivery record behind each one, the accompanying bank, the planning file, the plots that will rise alongside, and an honest view on price.
You will not find it set out on this page. Renders and asking prices are what every developer already publishes; the useful part is the view on each, and that is not something we would put into general circulation any more than we would publish a valuation. It is given to a client, in a conversation, with the reasoning attached.
Before the sales office opens.
Schemes tracked from the planning file onward, and occasionally shown to clients of the office ahead of public release — the only stage at which specification and payment terms are genuinely open.
Under construction.
Launched developments part-way through their build, where the remaining stock, the revised delivery date and the developer’s conduct so far are all matters of record rather than of promise.
Ready to occupy.
Final units in completed buildings, and select resale within recent schemes — for a family that cannot wait three years and should not be told to.

Three things we do differently.
Represented, not sold to.
You are not a lead here, and you are not being shown around. The office is engaged by you, works to a written brief you set at the outset, and is answerable to you — from the first conversation to the day the title is registered in your name.
Read before signed.
The contract, the technical specification, the bank guarantee and the payment schedule are read by our own counsel before a signature is asked for — and amended before terms are agreed, which is the only point at which amendment is still possible.
In the language that belongs to you.
The conversation is held in English. The document is read, drafted and argued in Hebrew. Nothing is lost between the two, because the same office does both — and one advisor carries the file the whole way, with nothing handed down.
By aliyah, by residency, or by acquisition.
Altitude Privé is one of three offices under common ownership, each holding a different chapter of the same arrival.
The established Anglo concierge to the aliyah process. Nefesh B’Nefesh, Misrad HaKlita and Bituach Leumi, the schools, the banks, and the first-year rental — the year in which a family works out where it actually belongs.
→ easyaliyah.comFor clients establishing residency, business and life in Israel ahead of, or without, the citizenship decision. Residency permits, company formation, banking, schools, and the quiet logistics of a second life held between two countries.
→ israelicitizenship.comThe residential office, which holds the purchase conversation when it arrives — usually in the second year or the third. Whichever door a client came through, the search begins from long familiarity rather than a first introduction.
You are hereBegin with a conversation.
Every engagement begins the same way — in person where possible, by telephone where not. Tell us, in your own words, what you are considering. If we are the right office for it, we will tell you how we would proceed and what it would cost. If you would be better served elsewhere, we will say that too.
Written enquiries are read personally and answered within one working day.
