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

8 October 2021

Hi, I am hoping some one can guide me or steer me here. I have 5 years left to run on my disasterous Lease back. I have a French mortgagewhich I took out to buy the property and I  and I want to pay it off now.  Can anyone  advise me on the process  ?  I have worked out how to pay  off with the French Bank(Credit Immobilier)  but what I dont undertand is what happens next .....are there deeds to the property as there are in my home country Ireland?

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!

completed our sale

10 August 2021

We have just completed the sale of our leaseback apartment.

Property that has been sticking around for a while has now all sold in our village - and anything remotely decent coming onto the market has been selling very quickly - I am told by our agent this is a direct result of the pandemic and the French wanting to buy second homes in their own country. Some buyers are now therefore considering buying in a Residence de Tourisme when they might not have done previously.
