Location and Your French Holiday Home-Let



Many buy-to-let French property investors prefer to project manage their French holiday-let whilst in the renovation stage.  This approach is fine, however careful planning is required as well as strategy when looking for the perfect French property investment.






Location, Location . . . Location?
Desirable locations such as the South of France for summer French holiday-lets and snowy French mountains for French winter ski-ing-lets would appear to be the ideal French property-let hotspots.  But, there are a few factors to consider when looking for a French holiday-let or second home in France.
Many French property purchasers, purchase Coup de Coeur properties in idyllic and remote areas of France far from the hustle and bustle of town and city life.
Compared to the fast-paced UK life, a tranquil French countryside gîte would appear to be perfect for those UK holiday guests looking for a holiday in which to de-stress. There is no doubt that a quiet, isolated French countryside property with a well-maintained swimming pool and lovingly tendered garden would appeal to holiday makers.  Strategically, however, the property management of your French holiday-let may not be as inviting to the service providers.  
Many property management services in France may be reluctant to accept properties which are difficult to reach or incur lengthy travel times.  If a property manager has to travel more than 50 minutes to reach your French property-let to carry out a change-over service, then the travel expenses and time incurred will not be cost-effective for you or the property manager on a regular basis. 
 In addition, if an emergency were to occur at a managed property, then urgent attendance may be unrealistic, if the journey time is greater than 30 minutes. 
Further, isolated French properties may attractive expensive delivery charges for materials to site, if your French holiday-let property is undergoing renovation. 
An additional consideration in the purchase of an isolated French property let is the increased risk of burglary.  If the property is let only in the summer months and shuttered for the remainder of the year with no sign of activity, then it may be vulnerable to crime and damage.  Therefore, it may be prudent to consider properties near to towns and services when searching for your ideal French property purchase.  Your guests may also enjoy the ease in which to visit their nearby town in order to shop and to enjoy easy to reach leisure facilities.
Remember . . . Location, Location, Location is important as an astute buy-to-let French property investor.

Property Management Services in France

Are you a French Property Owner but not in France? As a non-resident property owner, do you worry about what is happening to your property investment when you are not there? You are justified in your concern. Living miles away or across the pond from your property investment can be worrisome and is rarely the adage of  ‘out of sight, out of mind!’  for many overseas owners.  It can instil high levels of anxiety knowing that your property is tenanted or occupied by holiday guests whilst away from your watchful eye.  In addition, if you are unable to permanently live or reside for long periods of time in or near to your rental property, it is difficult to build up local knowledge as to the threats and weaknesses which may put your investment at risk.  More importantly, it may be difficult for your property to be included in its local neighbourhood watch if there is a frequency of holiday ...

Planning  to install your  swimming pool  or build your extension? Then, Plan, Plan, Plan! Whether you are an up and coming British Expat planning to leave the UK for France, build your dream house in France or buy a holiday home in France, then don’t forget to plan. Although many properties in France’s La Charente appear to offer a vast amount of land to build your dream whether that swimming pool to attract your holiday guests, an extension for Cordon cuisine courses or a simple patio to enjoy the daily Charentaise sunshine, French planning restrictions may turn your dream into a nightmare if you fail to follow French rules.  Indeed, don’t take it for granted that, because your voisin, neighbour, has built a garage without permission, you may do the same.  Your voisin could receive a fine and/or be asked to demolish the structure no matter how professionally built with quality materials ...
