Can a foreigner buy property in Paris?

Currently, there are no restrictions for foreigners buying property in France. However, if you decided, for example, to buy apartment in Paris 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 property in Paris process to be completed.

Are there property taxes in France?

Property tax in France is an annual tax, and the tax service calculates it separately for a specific owner. There is no single tax value as a percentage. For example, owners of a 2-room apartment on the French Riviera pay property tax on average about 1200 euros per year.
