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.

Not To Buy”

| 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.
