Buying process
Every French transfer goes through an official notaire — strong legal safety; we add negotiation, financing where possible and post-purchase management.
Residency?
French property doesn’t directly grant residency, but strongly supports a long-stay visitor visa file — we tell you that honestly and plan the right path.

Frequently asked questions
Does French property grant residency?
Not directly — France has no golden visa. But ownership strongly supports a long-stay visitor visa (VLS-TS), renewed annually; that's the honest, correct path.
What are the purchase costs?
Notaire fees and transfer tax ~7–8% for older property, ~2–3% for new builds, plus annual Taxe Foncière. You see everything before making an offer.
Where in France should I buy?
Paris for value retention, Lyon/Bordeaux for yields, the south for lifestyle, university towns for steady demand — we match the region to your goal.
Can non-residents get a mortgage?
French banks are stricter with non-residents but lend up to ~50–60% LTV; we review your eligibility at the consultation.
