Investing in a holiday home in France with value retention

In recent years, the number of holiday homes in touristic regions have increased, but prices in many areas are still lower than in comparable Dutch and Spanish hotspots. This makes it possible for many buyers to buy a holiday home in France at a relatively favorable entry price with a good ratio between price and expected return. A holiday home in France is a dream for many people. With FranceComfort, that dream becomes reality and also a smart investment. A luxury holiday home in the Dordogne, a tourist region in France, stands for security, carefree management and plenty of opportunities for personal use. Buying a holiday home in France adds value to your life and to your assets.

Why is the Dordogne so popular among buyers?

The Dordogne is a region full of charm: rolling hills, medieval villages, castles, markets selling local delicacies and a relaxed French pace of life. The tourist region in the southwest of France has been a favorite destination for years. With its mild climate, it is a place where you can immediately relax. You can enjoy a slow lifestyle, but also be active: canoeing on the Dordogne river, cycling among vineyards or walking along medieval towns such as Sarlat-la-Canéda and Domme. The region also has an excellent tourist season: from early spring to late summer, millions of holidaymakers flock to the Dordogne every year. This makes the region not only attractive for personal use, but also very interesting for rental and return. Therefore, buying a holiday home in the Dordogne has many advantages.

Dordogne Valley

The Dordogne Valley in France is a beautiful area in the southwest of France, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Go canoeing on the Dordogne river, visit the many castles and fortresses, stroll through the narrow streets of touristic villages and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine on a terrace. Go on a bike ride and explore medieval towns such as Souillac and Rocamadour, the many castles along the Dordogne, including La Roque Gageac, Beynac et Cazenac, caves such as the Gouffre de Padirac and Lascaux II and take in the beautiful views over the river and the surrounding landscape.

 

Smart investment in a holiday home in France: stable value and attractive returns

Buying a holiday home in France that retains its value is not only an emotional choice, but also a sensible financial decision. House prices in the Dordogne are relatively favourable, while value development is rising steadily. France also has a stable housing market and a strong tourism sector – a combination that ensures real estate with an attractive return in the long term.

Attractive purchase price holiday home France

Prices in France vary greatly from region to region. While villas on the Côte d'Azur can sometimes cost millions, other touristic areas offer spacious holiday homes that cost between €150,000 and €250,000. For many people, this is an attractive entry price, especially if you look at the combination of personal use and rental. Did you know that you can get a refund of the VAT you paid on a newly built house? If you rent out your holiday home for 15 to 25 weeks a year, you can achieve a gross rental return of between 6% and 9%, depending on the region and season. The relatively low-price level in regions outside the absolute hotspots gives investors the opportunity to benefit from an increase in value in the coming years, especially as France is becoming increasingly more popular as a second home location among European buyers.

A holiday home in France is an investment in real estate that :

  • Is attractively priced + VAT refund
  • is stable in value due to constant demand
  • yields returns through rental
  • offers a realistic opportunity for value appreciation in the coming years.

What is the financial and tax advantage of a holiday home in France?

A common keyword among UK investors is "holiday home France tax benefit". There are two types of homes in France: Newly built homes and existing homes. When purchasing a newly built home, you can receive a refund of the VAT/TVA you have paid under certain conditions. This is virtually impossible when purchasing existing homes. The French TVA of 20% on your newly built home partly expires on you every year. When you sell your house, you do not have to pay back this part. This makes the tax climate for investing in French real estate attractive.

Tip: Your advantage of owning a second home in France is that part of TVA refunds expire annually, meaning you get a higher return.
