My husband and I have found a bar to purchase in France. We hope to have a reasonable amount from the sale of our property in the UK, in order to refurb and use for taxes in the first year and fees through the sales purchase, but this would mean that we have very little deposit for the actual mortgage.

Does anyone know if this would be allowed via the French mortgaging system or is it possible to get a commercial mortgage in order to complete the necessary works and therefore using our money for a dposit instead.

thanks
