Buying property France
Appel Immo helps you to find all kinds of properties in France : house,
villa, apartment.
If you're buying a property 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.
Renting a large apartment provides a proportionally lower income than a
studio or two-room apartment, but tenants stay for longer.
Take into account the social structure of the commune where you are buying
a property in France (demand varies depending on things like whether it is
a university town, for example), and find out how common renting is there.
Favour well-designed dwellings with a good aspect when buying a property
in France.
If your home has these qualities it will keep its value.
- A home with a good aspect (south or south-west facing) with a balcony,
terrace or loggia, or preferably a garden, scores extra.
- These days the trend is for large living rooms, and a small kitchen is
a major disadvantage, unless the use of space is particularly clever.
- Other negative points: the presence of other houses directly opposite,
the lack of a view and north facing aspect.
