1. Prepare your project

   Make sure that you have taken into consideration all possible aspect of your project: what is your final purpose, where would you like to buy, what type of property, visa procedures, etc.

2. Establish your financial plan

   Make sure that you have all the relevant information needed about the additional tax and commissions costs and get an initial approval from a mortgage broker before starting your house search, so that you might know exactly your total budget.

3. Structure your property purchase

   Think about which option you might choose to structure your property purchase among the available ones. You can buy through a property holding company (SCI in France) which will allow you to save some inheritance taxes in the future.

4. Appoint your own notary

   You can appoint your own notary to represent you in the transaction, rather than counting only on the seller’s notary. Things will be double checked! You can also appoint a specialist lawyer from your own country who can advise and help you.

5. Hang on to your sense of humour

   Before having your first taste of the French riviera ‘art de vivre’, you will have to go through the world-famous French bureaucracy. Don’t panic, take a deep breath and most of all, hold on to your sense of humour. It will help you to smooth things down.
