A Roof Over Your Head
The global property market may be on a downturn at the moment but we all still want a place to call home. Changes in your family life or career may mean it's time for a move - to a bigger or smaller house, a new town or even a different country!
help from the experts
AngloINFO's INFOrmation Page on Buying a House or Property in France takes you through the steps involved: from searching for a property, to the preparatory stages of the purchase, applying for a mortgage, getting life and buildings' insurance and on to completion day. This handy document gives you the essential facts you need.
Of course, the process starts with finding the right property. In the Property & Real Estate category of The AngloFILE business directory you'll find English-speaking property search specialists (or house hunters) as well as estate agents knowledgeable in the region representing properties for sale.
This category also has a number of INFOrmation Pages relevant to the property-buying process, such as details on the latest Diagnostic Survey Reports needed by a seller in France.
If you're browsing the property market websites and magazines, you may need to know some of the local jargon and industry abbreviations in order to know what is being advertised. Have a look at the French Real Estate Jargon page for help with this.
And on the topical matter of financing, you'll find English-speaking mortgage brokers who specialise in French properties and retain relationships with French banks listed in the Mortgages & Home Financing category of The AngloFILE business directory.
