French Mortgages

The difficulty of securing a French mortgage depends largely on your specific circumstances and the type of loan you’re seeking. At Worldwide Property we understand the unique challenges international buyers face, and we’re here to guide you through the process every step of the way.

Here’s a quick overview:

• Factors influencing your eligibility: Your income, credit score, nationality and the size of your deposit all play a role.
• Different loan types have different requirements: Fixed-rate mortgages are relatively common and less stringent, while interest-only loans may require more assets and net worth.
• Navigating the French system can be complex: From paperwork to legalities, the process can seem daunting. That’s where our expertise comes in.

The good news is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer! The minimum deposit for a French mortgage depends on several factors, including:

• Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio: This is the percentage of the property’s value the bank will lend. Higher LTVs (meaning you borrow more) require higher deposits. Typical French mortgages range from 70% to 85% LTV, so expect a deposit of 15% to 30%.
• Mortgage type: Different loan types have different rules. For example, bridging loans (“prêt relais”) might require a larger deposit than standard mortgages.
• Your financial situation: Strong income and credit history can give you access to lower deposit options.

Not necessarily! Whether you need a French bank account for your French property purchase depends on your specific mortgage financing situation. Here’s a quick breakdown:

If you’re using a French mortgage:

• Highly recommended: While not mandatory, having a French bank account streamlines the process and makes managing your property finances easier after purchase. It facilitates direct debits for bills, mortgage payments, and property taxes.
• Worldwide Property Co can help: We have strong relationships with French banks and can assist you in opening a suitable account before or after your purchase.

If you’re financing with a mortgage from your home country:

• No immediate need: You can technically complete the purchase without a French account. However, managing recurring costs and receiving rental income might be cumbersome.
• Long-term convenience: Consider opening a French account later for easier property management and potentially better exchange rates.

Ah, the dream of owning a French property without a hefty down payment! While it’s a tempting possibility, the answer to your question depends on specific regions and the type of mortgage you’re seeking.

The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) usually caps out at 85%, requiring at least a 15% down payment. However, it is possible to go up to 100% by depositing additional funds with a private bank.

• Assess your eligibility for various mortgage programs.
• Compare rates and terms from multiple lenders.
