Removals to France The property market in the country of France has had its fair share of ups and downs in the last few years, mainly due to the global financial crisis. However, recent figures and data released by experts in the industry regarding property sales in France have shown the property market to be gradually stabilizing again. If you’re one of those people who dream of buying a house or a property in France, now may be the best time to do it. Before you do this, however, it is crucial that you understand the basic concepts and principles of the French property market. Before you buy just any house in France, you should first decide on the location. The country of France is made up of several regions, with varying climate and scenery. You should explore these areas, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, before you make your decision to settle in one place. The main cities are bustling with activity and give you access to all the amenities you need; small, quaint towns provide you with much more privacy and peace; and seaside areas, although they tend to be more expensive than properties in the inland areas, provide you with breathtaking scenery and a relaxed atmosphere. French real estate experts advise that you check out prospective properties during the wintertime, when the prices are typically much lower. If you have limited time, such as when you’re on vacation, you may want to book several appointments with real estate agents via the Internet before you actually get to the country. This is much more cost-effective, and can save you a lot of precious vacation time. You can also request for a survey or evaluation of a specific property, so that you know the condition of the house that you are interested in. If you’ve already found a house and are ready to buy it, you should then contact a notaire. A notaire is an employee of the state, who is in charge of all the legal aspects of property and house purchases. Transfer taxes and notary fees typically amount to 6-8% of the purchase price. At the start of every year, you will be required to pay 2 kinds of property taxes, a land tax (taxe foncière) and a residence tax (taxe d’habitation). If you’re seriously decided on getting the property, an initial contract will be drafted. You have 7 days to withdraw your offer, if you find the property to be below your standards. After this, the final contract will be made. Once you have signed the dotted lines, you can now live your dream
in your new home in France!
