Can a foreigner buy a house in Savoie?

Currently, there are no restrictions for foreigners buying property in France. However, if you decided, for example, to buy property in Savoie directly from the owner, you may face encumbrances, difficulties in proper registration and an inflated cost (sometimes the price is twice the price that can be offered to a French citizen).

From the moment the pre-contract has been signed, it takes on average 2,5 months for the whole purchasing house in Savoie process to be completed.

If you are a resident of France (live here for more than 6 months a year) or earn income/rent your property in Savoie , you will need to pay taxes.

Is it easy to get French citizenship?
