10 Reasons To Rent Before Buying Property In France

• Rent before you buy property in France 1.

If you want somewhere out “in the sticks” away from everyone, just think what it will be like with a foot of snow and your car won’t start.

• Rent before you buy property in France 2.

How far is it to the nearest shops? Unless you make your own bread, you’ll need to shop every day. Power cuts aren't un-heard of so what about that electric oven or bread machine you bake your bread in?

• Rent before you buy property in France 3.

If you want Internet access, is there ADSL available? Although this is becoming more widespread, it is by no means everywhere. Just try and remember what dial-up is like!

• Rent before you buy property in France 4.

You can check out the area in all weather conditions. What looks beautiful in the summer can be a nightmare in the winter.

• Rent before you buy property in France 5.

Although it’s rare, I have heard of some French neighbours being awkward and unhelpful. If you’re renting, you won’t be there long.

• Rent before you buy property in France 6.

How far from “civilisation” are you? Although it seems wonderful having a lot of space to yourself, it’s occasionally nice to pop into the local Tabac for an aperitif and catch up on the local news.

• Rent before you buy property in France 7.

Think of the rest of the family. If your spouse or children decide they don’t like living in France after all or have problems at school, it is a lot easier to cancel a rental agreement than sell a property. It happens... a lot!

• Rent before you buy property in France 8.

Long term lets in France are usually very reasonable compared to paying a mortgage.

• Rent before you buy property in France 9.

If you thought having somewhere with lots of land and your own forest would be fun, it will help you realise that you will have to maintain it all and hectares of pine trees are useless. You can’t even burn them.... Did you know pine is terrible for log fires?

• Rent before you buy property in France 10.

It will also help you decide what type of heating you prefer. With the price of oil and electricity rising continually, you will realise that a wood-burner is almost compulsory.

If you find you have made a mistake with your property purchase, it is an expensive business re-selling and buying again.

Ok so that was 11, you get the last one for free :O)

Rent Before You Buy Property In France... It can only make sense!
