Some people have funds available to make an outright purchase of a property abroad. Others use a mortgage to buy an overseas property. However more and more people are finding that their UK home has lots of equity in it. It is straightforward to remortgage in the UK and so many people are buying a property overseas by releasing cash from the equity of their home.

Whether you are buying a retirement home an investment property or a much deserved holiday home in the sun. Many people are lucky enough to have capital to release for buying a property abroad, others finance the project with some form of loan or mortgage. Now is a good time to buy property in Spain as European interest rates are low and there is a wide selection of property options available, from developed plots, farmhouses and village locations, through to villas, townhouses and new apartment developments. However and wherever you purchase your property there are some underlying principles to help you make the right decision. We have outlined some of them below and we have also listed some country specific advice for buying a property in Spain, buying property in Florida and buying property in France.

Before making a life changing decision consider all your options and make a plan of action. Take a Holiday A holiday in the area under consideration will tell you a lot about the area where you want to buy a property. Be careful not to view it all with rose tinted glasses and try and picture the area on a quiet day off season. Are the facilities that you require on hand ? Do the shops suit your needs? These and many other questions will be answered later. A good way of getting an inside line is to ask those that have done it before. Many popular areas have a large ex-pat community to ask about the area. Estate Agents When buying a property abroad the advice of an estate agent may prove to be invaluable. Find an established company that will offer advice and not a hard sell. The whole process of buying a property abroad can be burdened with rules and regulations Make sure you have a good lawyer with an excellent command of English .

They have to ensure that all the requirements of French Law are satisfied, and that all taxes are paid. They cannot advice you and you should consider engaging your own solicitor. When you buy a property in France the money is always paid directly to the Notary, not the vendor. Title deeds must also be signed in front of a Notary. Other Measurements Plumbing and Central heating - copper pipe sizes in France (outside daimeter sizes) WC Basin Bidet Shower Bath Sink 10mm 12mm 12mm 14mm 16mm 14mm Equivalent sizes relating to British Standard Pipe Threads (BSP) are as follows; 1/4 BSP 3/8 1/2 3/4 1 inch 1 1/4 1 1/2 8/13 mm 12/17 15/21 20/27 26/34 33/42 40/49 Points to consider when buying See as many properties as possible Choose a lawyer who speaks French and understands the French legal system Be aware of the inheritance laws before you sign any document Remember that the notaire acts for both parties Don't even think of gazumping - it's illegal in France. Once an offer has been accepted, no others will be considered. Once the deposit is paid the deal is binding Estate agents fees can be split between the vendor and the purchaser. Check before you proceed. Always check the cost of installing services should they be needed - it could be prohibitive. Add about 10% of the purchase price as a guide to buying costs. There is no leasehold in France so find out about management arrangements when buying a flat. Property Shows Free tickets on 01323 726040. www.french-property-news.com .

As the owner of a property on the first day of January, you are liable for paying this tax which is due for payment by October/November. Penalties or fines are added for late payment, but it is possible to arrange a monthly payment scheme. 2 - Taxe d'habitation. The occupant of the property on the first day of January is liable for paying this tax. Even if you only use the property on occasional visits, if it is furnished and supplied with water and electricity you are liable for this tax. Swimming Pools Eau Sparke , 24700.

SIRET numbers Check if your artisan is legally registered and entitled to work in France. - www.infobilan.fr - Type in the number to see if it is legal. www.cofacerating.fr - Surname, name and number checked. - www.infogreffe.fr - Surname, name and number checked. - www.societe.com . Quite a detailed check. What is a SIRET number? Information from - www.artisan-anglais.com. The SIRET number is an identification number for each French business. It is unique to that business and legally linked to a particular person. If several people engage in similar activities at the same geographical location then each must have their own SIRET number. The SIRET number is also linked to the geographical site as well so the same legal person should get a different SIRET number if his activity takes place in several different locations. It is set up by the INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques ) in the framework of the system SYRENE. (Système National Informatique pour le Répertoire des Entreprises et des Etablissements) The SIRET number is made up of several different identifiers and is unique to the particular business. Companies (entreprises) who run several businesses in different areas must have a SIRET number for each business and different establishments who work individually in the same location must also have individual SIRET numbers. The SIRET consists of 14 digits. The first 9 numbers are the SIREN number for the business. The first 8 digits have no significance except for administrative purposes and to organisations such as communes, fiscal offices etc. They identify the business as well as its location on the national list. The ninth digit is a check digit and has no link to the characteristics of the type business concerned. The SIREN is only issued once and removed from the list as soon as the business ceases to function, the owner dies or the business is dissolved. As it is legally linked to an individual, it is not transferred. The second part of the SIRET number is the NIC (Numéro Interne de Classement) which consists of 5 digits. The first 4 identify the business (or one of several businesses in the case of an enterprise running several establishments) The 5th digit is another check digit to validate the complete 14 number code. All registered workers should be immatriculated with the Centres de Formalités des Entreprises (CFE) at their local Chambres de Commerce, Chambre de Métiers, Tribunaux de Commerce, or the URSSAF, Services Fiscaux, or regional office of the INSEE. The only real ways to check if someone is registered for all trades they advertise are: 1. Ask to see his/her "carte d'indentification" issued by the local Chambre de Metiers which lists the trades on the card. This is a white card with green writing on the cover, and everyone has to have one. 2. Contact the Chambre des Metiers and ask direct. 3. Ask to see insurance documents for responsabilité civile and decennial which are the two obligatory insurances in France. The insurance document will show and list the items or trades which the artisan is insured to undertake. Electricity, Gas, Water & T.V. - Electricité de France , 2, rue Louis Murat. 75384. Paris.
