Property in France
The Move Channel. The place to find superb investment properties in the UK and overseas.
The French legal system is quite different from the British legal system, so it's sensible to use an English-speaking dual qualified solicitor for advice on the main issues such as tax, mortgages, inheritance, surveys and foreign exchange. But, with France the second favourite overseas destination for us British to buy abroad after Spain, the process of buying a property is far from impossible. The normal process of purchasing property in France is on the open market via an Estate Agent. Alternate methods of purchasing properties can be via the internet or buying at auction. It is mandatory to use the service of a notary ('notaire') when purchasing your property in France. There aren't any legal restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate in France.
Whether you're planning for your SIPP, looking for a UK buy to let deal, considering investing in one of the world's emerging markets or hoping to buy a property abroad that is going to give you good returns as well as happy holidays, this service will help you keep on top of what's hot and what's not:
