Hi..I'm new to the forum, I am hoping to buy in Lot, France around the St Cere area. I was over there last week for a couple of days and saw a property that I am really interested in buying. But the more I look in to it the more daunting it looks, I can't speak the language, neither does the immobilier selling the property, it needs renovating so I need a translator, builder, surveyor and Notaire, etc then when I read about the tax laws in France, wealth tax, different inheritance tax laws etc it all sounds a bit scary. Any help advice would be greatly appreciated. Steve
Hi Steve, if you go on angloinfo.com all your questions will be answered. They cover all areas of france, so I am sure you would find cover for the area you are looking for. Good luck.
Hi There are estate agencies specialises in selling to English and Irish people. In Limousin also above perigord and Lot, you can find nices cottages for as low as 30000euros. Prices in France and especially Limousin are going up and there is still growth potential for investers.
