New tax reform, initiated by Nicolas Sarkozy has will create favorable conditions for the Britons and French alike, who want to buy property in France.
Trevor Leggett, Executive Director, Leggett Immobilier comments, “We have never seen anything like this before in France, although it does look a little like the UK reforms under Maggie Thatcher. These reforms are great news for British homeowners and house buyers in France as they should energize the French housing market, causing property prices to rise and long term investment values to increase. What’s more, unlike so many things in the French system, this new W.E.B. legislation will be very straightforward in its application.”
Britons and foreigners are not only buying, but also renovating houses and property for sale in France. Since it involves buying an older house or chateau for sale in France the foreign buyer is advised to do some homework and really get to know what he or she is getting and how much work and effort will it take to make this old house or property looking grate or getting renovated.
An expert from Overseas Property Centers that has a large section on Property For Sale In France advises to look for several valuable points:
* If your reasons are investment look for
Equity growth
Rental Potential
Saleability
* If your reasons are permanent living in France look for
Infrastructure
Culture
Cost of Living
* If your reasons are for a Holiday Home look for
Convenience
Enjoying it
Neighbors
Therefore, next time you see a property for sale in France don't jump for immediate buying despite the beauty of the property, but carefully consider why you are buying the property, for Holiday home, investing in property or simply for permanent living.
