TB Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 My mother is recently widowed and having lived in Normandy for 13 years feels now is the time to return to UK. Her house in on the market, but we are also thinking about renting her property to give her the finances to return sooner. Does anyone have any advise, or suggestiong? I know here in UK it is relatively straight forward - we would want to instruct a managing agent etc.Many thanksTess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a word of caution. If it is sold now then the sale will be tax free as it is her principal residence. If it is rented out then some tax might be due on the sale as, obviously, it is no longer her main home.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Letting is strictly controlled in France and much more weighted in the tenant's favour.If you are inexperienced I would recommend you use an agent but even there you have to be careful and get a reputable one.If you can read French this is the site that gives all the information you need:https://www.anil.org/if you go intohttps://www.anil.org/votre-projet/then select propriétaire.....bailleur...you will get lots of informatio,n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
