Investment property: France

We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.

France is one of the deepest and most liquid property markets in Europe: Paris as a global prime apartment market, the French Riviera, the Alps, and major regional cities. Foreigners buy property without restrictions, on the same terms as citizens, and transactions go through a notaire with a high level of legal protection for the buyer. That said, it is important to understand: France has no residency-by-property program, and a purchase grants no immigration status. Acquisition costs are significant, especially for existing stock, and larger portfolios are subject to a real estate wealth tax above a set threshold. This is a market for capital preservation and long-term ownership of quality assets, not quick speculation.

We select the property for your goal - a Paris apartment, a coastal house, a chalet, or an income property - and support the transaction at every stage, from the preliminary contract to the final deed at the notaire. We pay particular attention to ownership structure: in France, the choice between personal ownership and a structure such as an SCI materially affects taxes and inheritance, and it is best made before the purchase, not after. If you need legal status in France, we will go through the actual visa options separately from the transaction.

FAQ

Can a foreigner buy property in France?
Yes, without restrictions and on the same terms as citizens. The transaction is executed through a notaire, who is responsible for the legal integrity of the title transfer.
Does buying property grant residency in France?
No. France has no golden visa program, and buying property grants no immigration status. Residence permits are issued on separate grounds - for example, a visitor visa with proven income - and that process is independent of the purchase.
Where do I start?
With your goal and budget, and with the choice of ownership structure - personal or via an SCI, which affects taxes and inheritance. We then select the property, verify it, and manage the transaction from the preliminary contract to the deed at the notaire.
