Finance
It is normal for the buyer to take out a mortgage in France to finance their investment. This will ensure that the buyer is best positioned to obtain a tax deduction for the interest borrowed against any rental income and minimises the requirement to put additional debt on their family home (Equity release).
French banks typically lend 80% of the purchase price (although up to 100% can be arranged in certain circumstances). You can expect to pay a mortgage registration charge of 2%(Stamp duty) and another 1% arrangement fee. In the case of a new property development a staged loan drawdown can be arranged usually with minimal repayments until the loan is fully drawn down.
|
 |
Mortgage protection insurance will be required and is normally arranged through the bank. If you intend borrowing to finance your investment it is important that this is disclosed when you sign the preliminary purchase agreement (Compromis de Vente).
