Real estate in France is a liquid asset, equally popular among foreign investors and residents. French legislation allows citizens of any country to freely buy, sell, rent, and lease real estate. The French real estate market, despite its stability, operates at different speeds, but real estate in France does not lose its value. The cost per square meter increases annually. On average, the price growth is 8% per annum.
The liquidity of investments is confirmed by statistics – every quarter, the value of residential properties increases on average by 1.1%. An apartment for €400,000 will be worth €493,200 in 5 years, appreciating by almost 23%!
Even during the global crisis, property prices in France underwent a slight correction but did not collapse as rapidly as the markets in Spain or Greece, for example. The most attractive regions for investment are the Alps, the French Riviera, and Paris.
Investors in France most often purchase:
- Apartments – duplexes, apartments, and penthouses.
- Houses – mansions, villas, townhouses, and even castles.
Even citizens themselves prefer to invest in the country's real estate. About 43% of families own 1-2 apartments for long-term rental. Houses and townhouses are predominantly purchased for personal use, while apartments are for rental income.
The main aspects of purchasing real estate in France:
- There are no restrictions on buying any property for CIS citizens;
- Any foreign resident (without residence permits, permanent residence, or other status) can make a deal;
- All transactions are carried out through a notary, acting as a guarantor for both parties;
- After obtaining ownership rights, the owner can apply for a visitor visa;
- Any transaction goes through the notary's deposit, and currently, money from some CIS countries is credited to the account without any problems.
