Buying as an overseas buyer
UK buyers can own freely in France. After Brexit, visits are limited to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area without a visa, with a long-stay visa available for longer periods. A notaire oversees the purchase, there is a deposit and a short cooling-off period, and the fees paid through the notaire are higher on older resale homes than on new-build. Ongoing costs include the annual taxe fonciere, plus taxe d'habitation on second homes in some areas. French banks lend to non-residents, usually with a larger deposit.
