What is a leaseback property in France?

 

French leaseback property is purchased freehold. The French leaseback scheme is designed to encourage both investment and tourism. Under the terms of the French leaseback scheme, the purchaser of a new property is entitled to a VAT refund. (TVA in French). The refund of the 19.6% VAT is a major incentive when buying a leaseback property in France and an immediate financial benefit in reducing the property purchase price.

 

The purchaser grants a lease to a holiday management company appointed by the French developer who will pay you rental in return for use of your leaseback property. In some cases a rental income is guaranteed, depending on the number of weeks to be rented per annum.

 

The initial lease is for between 9 and 11 years, with the option of renewing the lease with the same holiday management company for a further period up to 19 years.  It is possible to sell a French leaseback property before the end of the lease term and without VAT refund penalty providing the buyer is able to take over the leaseback contract.

 

French leaseback schemes can offer personal use of the property for periods of between two and fifteen weeks depending on the particular leaseback development. In cases where the leaseback property is purely for investment, it is possible to opt for no weeks of personal occupancy. Properties range from small studio apartments to substantial villas.

 

We currently offer leaseback properties in desirable locations in the Vendée region.

We feel that our French leaseback properties offer the benefit of VAT return, rental income and maximum personal enjoyment.  Due to the build quality the properties also enjoy excellent resale potential after nine or twenty years.
