This website states that if you have a tourism leaseback which you wish to sell then you should first contact your management company about resale. Some of the larger companies (like Pierre et Vacances and Odalys) have a resale department.
What is the advantage of this rather than an independant agent.
Can someone explain any downsides to leasebacks.
I am considering investing my sipp into one.
Hi y'all,
Does anyone have a property in this development?
It would be great to hear from anyone else on the estate - we could compare notes etc.
cheers

I have a friend prepared to take over the lease (subject to mortgage) and to continue with the same terms. Do I need the management companies permission or do I just somehow formally notify them (via Notaire?).
BTW the lease has just ticked over the initial 9 years. Neither the management company nor myself have made any representations as to the next step. Is this significant? Will this cause any complications?
I am told that to stimulate the market in France the government introduced additional incentives for French investors to buy leaseback whereby they could offset all rental income and mortgage against their tax bill.
I am not sure of details but would welcome any advice as I am considering trying to sell two leasebacks.

Recently our management company advised that if we are late paying the maintenance charges that they will add penalties which are very significant. They also passed a resolution at the AGM that stated that they could seize overdue payments for the rent cheques.
Does anyone know if this is legal.
Also can anyone advise if we are entitled to charge interest where rent due is late

Hi All.
I have read all the negative stories about leasebacks on this forum and I sympathise with anybody who has found themselves in difficulty with a leaseback property.I bought 2 different leaseback properties in 2005 (different management companies etc,) and thankfully both are functioning as they should.The rent is covering capital mortgages on both properties.Just wondering what people think, would I be crazy to consider a 3rd leaseback?
Does anyone know the procedure for writing a french will for property owned by UK residents?.
I have just rewritten my UK will and found that the french property does not fall under the jurisdiction of it and I was advised to write a will specific for my Antibes property.
Hi forum
I have a property up for sale which is a leaseback and I am selling it as

Notaire as buyer? Are their any fees when selling? any helpful advice from
anyone who done same...thanks in advance
Who receives or collects and keeps the 55.% & 19.6% (assume this is VAT)
on the rental?

personal usage. I receive the 5% rental from the management company
which amounts to 5352 euros as per the bail de commersial. They have

Loyer HT (19.6%) 433 euro;
