Newest Agency -
Saint Malo Property For Sale
The
Brittany Property Market is picking up.
Over the months of the worst of the financial
crisis older property prices weekend a little
though newer Brittany property prices stayed
strong. Recently demand has been steadily rising
with both French and international buyers, as
they start to regain confidence in the property
market.
During the
financial crisis property
sales calmed in many regions of France while Brittany
properties were still selling strongly, proving that
Brittany remained one of the best areas in
France
to invest in a property overseas. Brittany properties
prove to be not only very attractive purchases for
the English market, they are also increasingly popular
with the Parisians who also seek a holiday house
in Brittany or retirement properties in Brittany.

Unlike in the UK, where just about anyone can open an
estate agency and sell houses, to open an “Agence Immobilier”
in France and offer houses for sale you must have specific
qualifications, no criminal record, publish your tariffs,
have financial guarantees and insurances. For your peace
of mind, using a registered Estate Agency with a Carte Professional
number should be your first, and possibly most important
step in finding your property in Brittany. Breton-Homes.com
is proud to put you in contact only with a select number
of registered English speaking estate agencies in Brittany
France. We personally visit each agency to ensure they are
suitable to be included on our Brittany property websites.
We also form a close working relationship with our partner
estate agents.

All prices for houses for sale in
Brittany include Agency fees.
|
|
|
As with most other real estate websites for Brittany
we quote our prices as FAI (Frais d’Agence Inclus). This
means that all agency fees are included, but not the notaires
fees. We would like to display the notaires fees included
but now that we are working with several estate agents in
Brittany and not just one, we have to accommodate their
wishes and systems. So for the moment all of the Brittany
properties for sale on this website are FAI and do not include
the Notaires fees. We have started to develop a system to
incorporate the notaires fees for each property for sale
in Brittany on this website, but this will follow after
some other more pressing updates. Buying your property through
any of the estate agents that display their properties for
sale in Brittany on this website will cost you no more than
if you went directly to the estate agent in Brittany. –
All sales of properties in Brittany as in all of France
have to be handled by a Notaire, all this normally means
is that you will be paying the Notaires fees plus the agents
commission when you buy a house for sale in Brittany this
way. For further information about buying a house in Brittany.

| How to buy a Brittany Property -
the procedure to buying a house
in Brittany |
Back to Top
|
| Obviously the first
step in finding a house in Brittany and taking your first
step into the Brittany property market is to find the Brittany
Property that you like. By reading this, you must in fact
be on the right track, we have the best choice of selected
independent Brittany estate agents and Brittany Properties
for sale. The next step is to make a viewing appointment
and physically come and visit the Brittany properties that
interest you. Once you find the house in Brittany
that fits your requirements, you can make an offer via the
Brittany estate agent. If the offer is accepted then you
will have to sign a....
'Compromis de vente' which is simply a 'contract
agreeing to the conditions of the property sale'. Both yourselves
and the sellers have to sign this contract and it is legally
binding to both parties. However you can include some clauses
in the Brittany property purchase contract. When asked what
clauses can you put into your 'Compromis de Vente' - the
answer is - anything - well anything that the sellers
are likely to agree to, they after all want to sell their
Brittany Property and don't want to be held to any unreasonable
clauses. Often clauses are made in connection with a property
inspection by an architect, soil tests for
septic tank installations or mortgage approvals.
You will have a seven day cooling off period after
signing the property sales contract. If during the seven
days you wish to stop the process you simply notify your
Brittany estate agents by Fax or recorded delivery letter.
After the seven days cooling of period you will normally
be expected to pay a deposit of up to 10%, this can often
be negotiated.
'Acte de Vente' This
is the final part of the Brittany property sale. Normally
you will have transferred the final balance to be paid for
your Brittany property to a special bank account operated
by the Brittany Notaire, these bank accounts are stringently
controlled. Once all parties involved have signed this purchase
contract, it is final. That is to say that once signed,
you are now the owner of a house in Brittany and can take
up residency in your Brittany Property immediately.
Often the Notaire will slightly over charge you for certain
land registration fees etc and some time after your Brittany
property purchase (sometimes as long as a year) you will
receive a small cheque for the difference. The reason the
Brittany Notaires do this is because the calculations for
the various government bodies that take a part of the Notaire
fees for land registry etc, are very complicated. They over
estimate slightly by a couple of hundred euros or so, just
to be sure to have everything they need to pay for your
Brittany Properties title transfer.

| Why buy a Brittany Property - the
reason for buying a house in
Brittany |
Back to Top
|
| There can be many
reasons for wanting to buy a house in Brittany. Often it
is the desire to have a holiday property in Brittany or
a permanent home in Brittany - buying your dream property
in Brittany to move over to with your family. Sometimes
the desire is simply a financial one: invest into the euro
zone with a return on investment in terms of letting out
your Brittany property as a holiday home or as long term
let.
Some property buyers use the latter
method as a means to an end. That is to say that they finance
their dream retirement property purchase with a French property
mortgage and fund the repayments with rental income from
their French property. This means that not only can they
benefit from having their mortgage paid off by rental income
but also the net gain on their Brittany property value in
the years to come. France is a country of habitual property
renters with the majority of the French population renting
their property rather than buying, meaning that the property
rental market in France has always remained strong.
We have not only identified some
of the best lenders specialising in overseas and French
property mortgages, but have formed strong working relationships
with them in order to provide our website visitors with
an enviable choice of mortgages and mortgage providers to
help finance their Brittany property purchase.

Your property may require the addition
of a septic tank or replacement of existing. We recommend
looking at
WPL Package Sewage Treatment plants in France where
a traditional
septic tank system is either not suitable for the property
due to land restraints or the client simply doesn't want
to dig up all of their garden. In French -
