Hey all,
Buildings offered by developers, we have noticed that the properties tend to be overpriced which I presume is to cover all the hidden costs that the developers hide in the final prices (stamp duty paid, 5% deposit paid etc)
we are know looking at French buy to lets (not leaseback) and have identified two or three properties that look favourable but I was wondering wither these types of properties are realistically priced or is there a tendency to up the price in France as there is in the uk.
has anybody purchased any of this type of property and actually seen an increase in the value?
we are looking at residential properties rather than the holiday style properties that leaseback offers as we think they will be easier to sell when the time is right..
Thanks in advance

Hey Lane,
I looked at this as an investment when we moved here but decided the likely returns were too paltry, looking at purchase prices and rental prices for similar property types. It may differ from region to region, though.
See you soon
