Blade Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 we need to get a loan or grant to do part of our house up. i have read that there are quite a few grants around such as Pret convention I believe. Does this require one to be a french tax resident? what are all of the options?thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 We had a pret conventionne, it was simply a mortgage and over 17% at the time.Grants are usually means tested.EDIT depends which grants and some things can be put on ones tax declaration too.

Helen888 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I read about a year ago ,of a renovation / improvement / building loan available to tax payers and the rate was 1percent. There were clauses such as not having had the property concerned for over a certain amount of time (or was it the reverse!) as you can tell I can't recall the details very well but i think it was a government scheme.

Nick Trollope Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have never seen a grant that isn't just tax relief (so you need to pay tax in the first place....). Ask in your Mairie, but I doubt if they will have any budget...Loans are pretty cheap here (I have mortgages fixed at 3% for revovation) so you could try your bank.
