Fees Associated with Purchasing Property
Regional differences
Biarritz, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Grenoble and Lyon are all areas where house price inflation was relatively stable until the low cost airlines started flying into nearby regional airports. Over the past few years, property prices in these areas have increased significantly, some as much as 40 per cent!
Foreign Property Taxes & Legalities
Many people can think that buying a house in a foreign destination will be much cheaper than buying a property in the UK. Whilst this may be true, it is advisable to take some time investigating and understanding your tax and legal position before you make concrete decisions about your dream property as they can add significant amounts to your purchase price and annual maintenance charges. Don't rely on your estate agent or seller to furnish you with all the facts, they are afterall after the sale and won't want you to be delaying that process completing.
