Buying Property in France During the Credit Crunch

Some buyers are finding it difficult to sell their UK property or remortgage in the UK in order to buy in France. Others are concerned about currency fluctuations.

There is no doubt that in the current climate buying in France holds new challenges that require new thinking.

French mortgages under the lending rules of the Bank of France, very much stricter than UK banks, are safer and although you may not have thought of buying with a French mortgage, a short term interest-only loan now makes good sense until market sentiment turns.

Also, as lending criteria are different, some clients refused a loan in the UK may be eligible in France.

Using our partners' 10 years of experience and their strong partnerships with France’s largest banks they have identified the following smart financial solutions to help you purchase.

The above table is for informational purposes only and should not be construed in any manner as a commitment to make a loan. Information is deemed to be accurate and reliable but not guaranteed. Interest rates, terms, loan and product conditions are subject to change without notice. The rates and details above are just given as indication and cannot replace the advice of a mortgage lending specialist.

I often get to hear about properties coming available before they are listed with estate agents. 

Even if this particular property is not exactly what you're looking for, enter your details above  - we'll contact you and help you find the property you want.
