Do not exceed the market price when buying a house in France…
Now that inflation is all but non-existent, buying an overvalued house in
France is a bad move because it will be difficult to absorb this initial
extra cost. Therefore, find out what the going rate is in the area you have
chosen for the type of dwelling - or land - that you are looking for: talk
to the neighbours, compare advertisements from different sources, contact
the organisations present in some towns or regions that keep in touch with
the housing market, and buy specialist magazines.
Take the surroundings into account when buying a house in France.
These days, the area around the dwelling, or the land on which you intend
to build, is a major consideration when it comes to establishing the price.
- Identify possible sources of nuisance, both noise and smells, and check
for nearby businesses, factories or farms which might cause a nuisance.
- Think about day-to-day facilities; what services are available nearby?
Is the area well served by public transport? Is it easy to park? Do the immediate
surroundings include any parks or gardens, which are particularly important
when it comes to adding value?
If you're buying a house in France mainly as an investment…
Products must be well placed and of excellent quality. Fine renovated 1960's
apartments are a good bet.
It's also often a good idea to invest in a detached house or a village house,
especially if it has a patio or internal courtyard. These products are highly
sought-after in large cities.
