Belvedere France

Many owners of French real estate are reluctant to do any work on their property before they put their French property for sale.

In fact, we have read that as little as 1 percent of French real estate owners invest money in a property before marketing the property. In addition, the 1 percent is typically investors who understand values.

Here are 3 important things to consider.

One
Invest with the greatest impact
Repair water leaks, insulation leaks, broken door, window and closet handles. In addition, faulty or broken electrical outlets need to be replaced.

Two
Tidy Up the Property
It may be appropriate to add some paint or plants to enhance your real estate and it is definitely important to tidy up the property. Find 50 specific tips in this 64 page guidebook.

Four
A French apartment on the uppers floor of a building without an elevator that can challenging for young families and older people to live in.
