Anybody have a French one and care to share details on the basics of how they work ?? Is it possible to get a UK mortgage on french property ?? We have seen a house and would love to purchase it but need some extra cash for renovations !! In England you just over mortgage but i believe this is different in France,
basically whats the best way of doing it ?? Ive read many articles on the internet but would rather hands on experiences
Thanks in advance

No worries Pug, our situation is this, we have seen a house we like very much (3 down from my parents !!) and currently have no hardcore ties in uk what-so-ever. We would rather buy and invest in a French property. the only ties we have are a debt or two, the usual credit card, loan etc, ideally in UK you get a big enough mortgage to cover these too. My dad says that we should bang in the offer and that my Nan will sort us out ??? The only thing is that if she doesnt we are up sh1t creek without a paddle as we would be committed !! If only it were so simple, will be speaking to them later so see what they suggest again. Its not exactly a huge mortgage either !!
Looking in Burgundy, my parents have had a farm about half an hour west of Cluny for 19 years. There is another house in the same hamlet (3 houses away from my parents) for sale now. Its just come on the market after the 5 year wait to avoid tax, its in working order but could do with some modernising !! Out buildings to be worked on too so plenty of long term work to do. My wife and i would much rather invest in a property in France than here, plan to retire in France eventually, only 27 though so a while to go yet !!! Will put some pics up tomorrow for you.
Whats the story with yours ??
