Rentals
A popular way to invest in property in France is to buy a leaseback property which benefits from a government-backed VAT-refund incentive, designed to encourage investment in tourist residences. Through freehold ownership of an apartment or cottage that is leased back to a management company for a minimum period of 9 years, investors benefit from guaranteed annual returns from their fully managed and maintained property with relatively low up-front costs and no ongoing maintenance or running charges.
Pierre et Vacances, the developers responsible for the renovation of Le Christiana, are offering customers who purchase apartments here guaranteed rental opportunities of up to 3.75% per year as part of this leaseback scheme. They have provided various rental formulas for purchasers, enabling you to choose the option which best meets your needs. These formulas are outlined on the table below.

and running costsInvestors buy the freehold of a property outright but lease it back to a management company who specialise in the tourist management, maintenance and rental of these properties for a minimum 9-year period. In return owners receive a guaranteed annual return, irrespective of occupancy of the property, NET of all communal charges, maintenance and running costs.

Potential Capital Appreciation
Property in France historically offers very good growth with a high demand from local and overseas investors. France has the fastest growing population in Europe and an increasing divorce rate which further increases the demand for more housing. Strict national and regional planning regulations prevent mass building so existing and new property stock is in demand.
Leaseback properties are built for tourists and as such are situated
in the best locationsLeaseback properties are built for tourists and as such are situated in the best locations with the facilities, amenities and accessibility that holiday-makers expect and as such benefit from features such as swimming pools, tennis courts, sports facilities, restaurants and entertainments that a normal property does not. These factors all contribute to the demand for Pierre & Vacances managed properties and the capital appreciation that results.
