What do I need to know when buying property in Paris?
When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Paris, they said...
"1. Consider hiring a local lawyer to help you navigate the real estate buying process in Paris. 2. Make sure to do due diligence to evaluate the condition of the property, the tenants (if any), and any other legal issues related to the property. 3. The French government imposes property taxes for all real estate owners in Paris, so make sure to save up for it before buying. 4. Research the location of the property to make sure it fulfills all of your needs, such as being close to public transportation and other amenities. 5. If you are planning to purchase real estate as an investment, make sure to investigate the local rental prices and potential return on investments. 6. Consider the cost of upkeep and repairs, as well as the potential hazards in the neighborhood. 7. Talk to the local council and make sure the property complies with all zoning regulations. 8. Be aware of the different types of property titles in Paris and make sure you understand all the conditions associated with buying property in the city," commented one expat who made the move to Paris, France.
