COVID-19 UPDATE
New Lockdown declared in France as of Friday 30th October

We are now in a new lockdown period in France.

If this means you can no longer come and visit properties with us in person, you can rest assured that we are continuing to work for you. We are doing the following:

  • Updating and adding new properties on our website
  • Exchanging emails and calls with buyers and vendors
  • Putting together property lists, sending you available information and material on your preferred properties
  • Accompanying you on live virtual tours
  • Taking on new sales mandates
  • Carrying out virtual signing using an e-signing facility for all legal documents.

The buying process will continue for all the ongoing sales as notaires, banks, administrations and France Property Angels continue to work.

With our best wishes to all our clients from the France Property Angels Team

Get Your Finances in Order When Buying Property in France


As an international buyer, purchasing property in France can be a complex process, with many factors to consider. One of the most important steps in the process is getting your finances in order. You will need to determine how much you can borrow and how you will exchange your money into euros for the purchase. It's important to start thinking about these issues early on, so you can be fully prepared when it comes to viewing properties and are in a position to make an offer when you find the right property.

 

Currency Exchange

At France Property Angels, we recommend that you consider using a reputable foreign exchange specialist to assist you when buying a property in France. A foreign exchange specialist can help you save money, offering lower fees and better exchange rates compared to your traditional bank. They also have the expertise to help you manage currency risk and lock in a favorable exchange rate. By working with a foreign exchange specialist, you can simplify the process of exchanging your money into euros, making the process of buying a property in France smoother and more efficient.

When choosing a foreign exchange specialist, it's important to find one with extensive experience in managing transfers to French notaires for property purchases. This can help to ensure that your money arrives at the right place and at the right time, streamlining the buying process. If you need help finding the right foreign exchange specialist, France Property Angels can connect you with the right professionals. 

 

Mortgage

You may also need to consider taking out a mortgage. If this is the case, it's important to know how much you will be able to borrow before you start your property search. To help with this, France Property Angels recommends working with a mortgage broker who specialises in international buyers purchasing property in France. Not all banks lend to non-residents, so working with a specialised broker can ensure that you find the right mortgage solution for your needs. France Property Angels can also put you in touch with the relevant broker. Just let us know if you need help with this.

 

In conclusion, getting your finances in order is a crucial step in the process of buying a property in France as an international buyer. By working with the right professionals, such as a foreign exchange specialist and a specialised mortgage broker, you can simplify the process and ensure that you have the resources you need to make your dream of owning property in France a reality. As property finders France Property Angels can introduce you to all the right experts and hold your hand all along the French buying process. So don’t hesitate to contact us.
