TIP POINTS
TO CONSIDER WITH PROPERTIES TO RENOVATE IN FRANCE the
work on properties to renovate in France often costs more than expected
- the
properties to renovate in France may be uninhabitable so you will
have to stay elsewhere there
are lots of building regulations to follow - and in a foreign language!
Your
builder may go off to other jobs- so yours will take much longer. FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATIONS don't
expect to make a massive profit on your finished project the
value of the finished project will usually only be around what you
have paid for the house and the amount you have spent on building
work. remember
it can be harder to sell a beautiful but expensive home later and
you will have to pay tax on any increase in value. Many
of these considerations sound negative. With good reason. If
you choose properties to renovate in France unwisely, or take on
more than you can handle- it can be an expensive nightmare. |
