France is located in Western Europe, bordering the Bay of Biscay and the
English Channel, between Belgium and Spain. With a population of 64 million
and a wide variety of locales it may well be a country you may wish to invest
or live in. Charming buildings that can be old and have history and character
can make your purchase unique.
Things to Consider When
Buying Properties in France
Tax Issues in France There are two types of real property taxes, on developed and on
undeveloped land. Tax on developed Real Estate is assessed on the value
or the real property that has been developed or improved. Tax on undeveloped
real property is only assessed on rural land. Both tax rates are fixed by
the local governments each year.
Mortgage in France As a foreigner buying property in France, we recommend that you
finance your purchase through a French bank. Sherwoods has connections
with French banks and can help you get credit you would not necessarily
get by yourself. French banks will ensure the loan by mortgaging the property
being purchased. A French loan will amount, with the help of our company,
to a maximum of 80% of the purchase price mentioned in the sale deed.
In the case of a leaseback program, you can borrow up to 80% of the purchase
price, 19.6% VAT included, which adds up to 95% of what you actually pay.
