BUY THIS HOUSE IN BRITTANY, USE IT 2 FUND .......

Buy this house in Brittany now, use it to fund your dream retirement in the sun. The latest figures on buy-to-let in UK confirm it is not the nice little earner it once was. High lending rates, running costs,a barrage of tax and regulatory changes since 2016 have caused buy-to-let purchases to plunge to a record low, according to Hamptons. Landlords bought 1 in 10 homes sold in Britain during the first half of this year. The lowest share since landlord purchase records began in 2010, considerably less than the 16 per cent in 2015. Well! there you are! But holiday let investments have also been hit with tax rises, increased regulation. The number of people buying additional residences fell to a record low proportion of purchases too. Fewer than one per cent for the first time in 2024, Hamptons reports. I have owned this house in France for 22 years, never had any major problems, everything works, some things are more expensive but most are about the same or cheaper. The big difference is that you can see where your money /taxes go. In UK it just disappears and things get worse. There's a few more hoops to jump through since Brexit but not impossible. Go for it.. In no uncertain terms, I am willing to potentially entertain a lower offer from a serious buyer, subject to he/she is aggressive and quick to complete on the sale. Proof of evidence of funds available or certificate of mortgage is required for me to take the buyer seriously. Due to people whom like to play games. NB: British passport holders can apply for a carte de séjour if staying in France for more than three months. These are for a variety of purposes, work and retiring, etc to France. You get a temporary permit that lasts a year.
