French Leaseback

Designed to encourage the development of local economies and sustainable tourism by promoting the use of time-honoured construction skills and eco-friendly materials, the leaseback property investment scheme is the result of a series of financial measures taken by the French government in the 1980s and is unique to France. All properties sold under this scheme are freehold.

There is no other land so diverse culturally and more than one lifetime would be necessary to enjoy the huge variety of landscapes in this land where the art of fine living is a way of life. We have a selection of over 20 French leaseback properties in every region; from the elegant coastal resorts of Normandy and the Cote d’Azur, the wild shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the world’s greatest ski domains, to the eternally appealing holiday destinations of beautiful Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon.

France leaseback

Investing in property is widely recognised as the safest and most sensible way of earning supplementary retirement income. The property market is remarkably stable in France, thanks in great part to the responsible attitude of French mortgage banks and to the steady growth in population, but also to the “eternal appeal” that France holds for overseas purchasers.

Depending on what you would like to achieve – a possible pied-à-terre when you retire, a “pure” investment with the highest possible yield, supplementary retirement income with a couple of weeks personal occupancy in the year, or maximum potential for capital appreciation, different properties will meet your criteria. As the France leaseback specialists, we will be able to offer you comprehensive and well-informed advice about all aspects of owning property in France.
