Village du Haut Val

23 March 2009

Hi,
I've recently been looking into the French leaseback scheme, and in particular the Village du Haut Val development in Normandy. It's a fairly rural setting, with golf, horse-riding etc on site. On the face of it the rental (5.5%) and incentives (6% cashback, legals paid) offered seem incredibly attractive. However, having luckily stumbled upon this website/forum I can see that the statement 'guaranteed rental' needs to taken with a large bucketful of salt.

Refiance your French Lease Back

18 March 2009

In the past couple of weeks I have taken a lot of calls from people about how best to finance their EXISTING French property investment.
The main issues that arise are as follows:

1. I bought using cash or with a top-up loan in Ireland/UK and now want to take out a loan in France

2.I have a French loan and would like to:

 

  •  

    Change from repay to Interest only

     

  •  

    Take a payment holiday

Chateau du Francport

17 March 2009

A beautiful chateau just north of Paris now selling leaseback units. I am

interested in this development but note that many leaseback properties

have problems with developers and managers. The selling info does not

have any info related to the financial capacity of t he developer/manager. I

have not done this before and would appreciate any info or advise you can

provide. thanks, AlM

Are there 2 types of commercial leases?

10 March 2009

Bertrand,

You indicated in a previous post,that you dealt with "firm" leases.Saying that firm leases did not include the 3,6,9 year break clauses.Can you expand on this?

How would this be worded in french if your lease was "firm"?.

Maybe wrongly,but i thought the break clauses were enshrined in French commercial law,not an individual lease!

No doubt you will correct me!

Regards

 

John
