Recommendations for Selling Agent and French Solicitor to sell property

2 May 2022

Regarding selling:  I am in the process of offering my leaseback for sale and, due to the situation we've all found ourselves in vis-a-vis being duped as to what

exactly, we were buying into in the first place, I am hesitant to sign anything without the assistance of the advice of a qualified legal representative.  I also want to ensure the 

selling agent is acting in my best interest and not that of someone else (the tenant, or original developer for example).  To that end, can anyone advise me of a Sales Agent

Termination of lease by management company

21 March 2022

<p>Our management company DG Holidays terminated our lease on 26 January 2022, along with the majority of the apartments on the resort - A settlement was agreed with DG that we would be paid 50% of rent owed since 2018 with the remaining 50% paid in 24 monthly installments. Other owners I believe have received settlement of the first 50% but none of these monies has been forth coming as of todays date to ourselves personally.

Remortgage

7 March 2022

Hi, have a interest only mortgage which is due to expire in 2023 which will require refinancing. My current lender is CIF which is no longer issuing loans based on information I previously obtained from them (albeit it was 4 years when I last raised this with them). Has anyone any recent experience of refinancing their French mortgage or know of a good starting point to do so.?
Thanks in advance 

Capital gain calculation

21 January 2022

Hi all,

Perhaps a stupid question, does any one know how to captial gain is calcualted for French leaseback properties? 

To be specific, is it just as simple as sales price - purchase price,  or is it sales preace - (purchase price - depreciation). Of course i know there are fees to add to sales price and purchase prices, but my point is more on the depreication which over 10 -20 years is very significant, which will increase the captial gain (and hence tax) quite a bit.  

Mortgage Redemption Question

Considering buying property

23 August 2021

Hey,

I'm considering buying a house in a condominium built by the Terresens group. The house would be delivered in two years and would be rented out / managed by them (70-30 split of the profits). From what I've been told so far I'm free to pick which weeks the house is available to be rented out.

I have no experience with these types of properties, but it sounds very useful to have a company managing the house with minimal interaction from me.

Is this a good deal or am I being naive?

Thanks!
