Why Brits are snapping up property in France

Why Brits are snapping up property in France.

The real Brexit Day is fast approaching.

The 12-month transition period has only a few months left to go.

For British buyers, it is an opportunity to buy a French property and apply for residency during the transition period.

There is no time like the present.

While local experts aren’t seeing a fire sale of French property, some sellers are undoubtedly very open to offers.

The market has been usually busy throughout the summer, and we expect that trend to continue until the end of the year.

One thing to remember…

When you buy a French property, you are exposed to the fluctuating Euro exchange rate.

I know for a fact that the exchange rate you get can make a big financial difference.

It’s why I would suggest getting a quote from Key Currency, our currency partner.

Key Currency can monitor exchange rates for you and help you make the most of your budget.

Travel to and From France is Fully Open Again

Travel Restrictions lifted between the UK and France

Great news…

Yesterday [10th July] the 14 Day quarantine restriction was lifted for those travelling between the UK and France.

Flights, Ferries and the Euro Tunnel to France are now operating daily.

As expected we have seen a rush of buyers booking viewing trips and properties are selling fast.

Earlier this month, Rightmove reported that UK searches for French property are 33% higher than last year.

We are seeing that sellers in France are very keen to take advantage of the extra interest and they are certainly open to offers.

Now is the time to get serious about restarting your plans, especially for retirees abroad, with the Brexit transition period ending soon.

Watch our celebratory video on our You Tube Channel here.

Here is the official statement on the UK.GOV website.

Entry rules in response to coronavirus (COVID-19)
For the purposes of setting travel rules, France has defined a European Area composed of EU countries, the UK, Andorra, Holy See, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino and Switzerland.

Entry to France
Travellers arriving in France from the UK, European Area, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay are no longer required to self-isolate, to demonstrate their travel is essential or to hold an international travel certificate.

Arrivals from countries other than those specified above will still need to complete an international travel certificate, which certifies that your journey is essential and confirms that you have not been suffering from a set of listed symptoms associated with Covid-19. This travel certificate is available on the French Ministry of the Interior’s website. You should also produce any supporting paperwork to substantiate the essential nature of your travel.

Border checks may also be in place at points on France’s land borders with Italy, Spain, Belgium and Germany.

Quarantine requirements
There is no quarantine requirement for arrivals from the UK, from the wider European Area (as defined above) and from Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay. Arrivals from other countries are asked to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival in mainland France. Full details and a list of exemptions to self-quarantine in France are set out in a Ministry of Interior press statement (in French) and its translation (in English).

Travellers showing signs of a COVID-19 infection upon arrival in mainland France will have to carry out a mandatory 14 day quarantine at home or in a dedicated location indicated by the French authorities if home quarantine is not feasible.

Travel between the EU and non-European countries
The French Government has suspended travel between France and countries outside the European Area (as defined above) except for Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.

Some countries are imposing a compulsory period of quarantine for travellers from France. If you are travelling from or through France, check the situation at your destination before you travel.

Cle Mortgages - Helping turn Dreams into Reality

Cle France

Want to turn your dream of a Home in France into a Reality?

'Cle Mortgages'

We have 2 solutions for You...

Option 1

Let Us Unlock the Potential from Your UK Property!

You could buy a Holiday Home in France by unlocking some of the value of your UK home and using the cash to snap up a Bargain French Property.

It makes sound financial sense to raise the money in your own country where you earn your income, so you don't have to worry about the vagaries of future interest rate fluctuations.

UK interest rates are still at historic lows, and in most cases we can achieve this with No Fees at all.
We can arrange a UK re-mortgage within the protection of the UK financial regulations, in your own language, with the a possible bonus of reducing your monthly payments on your current mortgage by having a better overall interest rate.

We can get you an 'Agreement in Principle' in advance so you will be able to go house hunting with confidences and negotiate a great price as you are effectively a cash buyer in France.

Contact Us Today to find out more, on a no obligation basis of course. Cle France enquiry

Option 2

The 'French Mortgage' route.

The ideal option if you don't want to tie up your capital due to

low exchange rates?

With record low interest rates you can take a mortgage out and when the Pound recovers pay lump sums or even pay off the whole mortgage.

We can arrange mortgages in France up to 85% of the purchase price with interest rates starting from as low as 1.35%

We also offer a Free mortgage pre-approval service, so you understand what options are available to you, even if you haven't yet found a property.

Contact Us Today to find out more, on a no obligation basis of course. Cle France enquiry Thinking of buying in another country? We arrange finance in over 30 countries across Europe, USA and the Caribbean. Cle France Cle France Cle France Visit Cle France Website Request a Mortgage Quote Currency Exchange Service
