Let Nick do the Property Viewings For You

I hope you and your family are in good health and good spirits despite the difficult times we are all currently experiencing.

Recently we introduced a solution to buy your property without first visiting it, ie. to buy it ‘unseen’.

This has proved very popular but for a more cautious approach we can now offer the service of a ‘Property Inspection’ by our property surveyor, Nick Warner.

Nick can visit 5 properties on your shortlist and inspect the properties for you against your criteria and advise on a number of important aspects so you can make a more informed decision before making an offer on your chosen house.

For roughly the same price as a full structural survey on one property you will get feedback with photos and Nick's personal opinion on 5 (within the same sector).

If you feel that this may be a good option for you, please feel free to contact Nick for further details.

In the meantime Stay Well,

We’ll stay in touch!

Visit the website to contact Nick Warner direct.

Kind regards,

The French property buying season begins (finally)

Great news…

France is expected to be included in the first wave of ‘air bridges’ starting 6th July.

Flights to France will commence daily.

It’s expected there will be a rush of British property buyers.

Earlier this month, Rightmove reported that UK searches for French property are 33% higher than last year.

While local experts say they don’t expect a fire sale of French property, some sellers will undoubtedly be open to offers.

Now is the time to get serious about restarting plans, especially for retirees abroad, with the Brexit transition period ending soon.

One thing to note…

When you make an offer on a French property, you are committed to that price in Euros, no matter what happens to the Pound.

With many threats to the Pound at the moment, we would suggest speaking to our currency partner: Key Currency.

Key Currency can monitor exchange rates for you, help make sense of your budget and find you the most suitable currency solution.

BRITISH EMBASSY PARIS

MONDAY, 3 FEBRUARY 2020

Good afternoon, Following my message last week, I wanted to let you know that the French Interior Ministry has updated its website on how UK citizens can secure their residency rights in France. The online portal originally built to receive residency applications in the event of no deal has now closed. An updated version will be re-launched at the start of July 2020. From this date, all UK nationals currently resident in France (or who become resident before 1 January 2021) will need to apply via this online portal for a new residence permit. This will formalise your rights under the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU.

If you applied on the previous portal, you will not need to re-apply – your application will be processed by the appropriate Préfecture before the deadline.

So the key message today is that you should wait for the updated French online portal to go live at the beginning of July 2020 – and if you haven’t yet applied, there will be time to make an application later this year and in early 2021.

We will continue to post updates here and on our other social media channels as soon as we get any further information.

With my very best wishes,

Ed Llewellyn.
