When you own French real estate it is important that you maintain the quality of the systems in your French home.

Unfortunately, someone I know told me the other day that a plumber had came to her house and found that the problem with the lack of water coming to the taps was because ‘un réducteur de pression’ had stopped working.

What is a un réducteur de pression? It is according to my friend’s plumber a device that reduces the pressure of water coming into a home to a pressure that is the appropriate amount for using in the home. The one in her home was old and had broken down.

Un réducteur de pression or pressure regulator as we would say in English is one of the many pieces of a French home that you have to maintain and it would be a good idea to have the systems in your new French home checked to make sure they are working before you buy your French property.

We continue to suggest to you that when you are buying a French home to have it inspected before you decide on buying the home.

Are you planning to retire in France?

French real estate and French lifestyle are very attractive so if you are considering retiring in France the best thing you can do is plan ahead.

We have heard many people who find their dream property have not taken the time before hand to consider the impact on 2 important items that come into place in a new way once you are retired in France.

Taxation:
You need to make strategic tax plans to maximize your impact and mitigate the impact of taxes once you retire.

Pension Plans:
Mostly you have paid into a pension plan outside of France and you will want to investigate what to do not as you start to draw on your pension. One thing you may need to consider is the impact of exchange rates on your pension.

The best option for you is BEFORE you start to look at French real estate to get in touch with an English speaking Financial planner who knows how things currently work in France.
