Buy-to-let a Cote D’Azur holiday home

Last year, the French Riviera witnessed the highest property valuation in history – a staggering €350 million for a Cap Ferrat mansion. Thankfully it’s still possible to pay much less for beautiful Côte D'Azur homes like this one in Saint- Paul-de-Vence.

From Matisse to Minogue, Saint-Paul-de-Vence has been adored by celebrated artists and celebrity pop stars alike.This medieval fortress town perched above the Mediterranean sea really is quintessential South of France holiday material. Its renowned art galleries and cobbled streets – together with the occasional A-list sighting – are a mecca for tourists in search of idyllic vacances. 6 miles inland between Cannes and Nice, the town is surrounded by countryside, just 15 minutes’ drive from the Riviera’s famous beaches and legendary nightlife. The perfect pick and mix of tranquility, culture, sunshine and glamour, this is a lucrative place to own a property with holiday let potential.

Cyprus property roundup – all you need to know in 2018

International buyers are showing a renewed faith in Cyprus property, according toProperty Wire, the global real estate news site. So why should you join them in choosing Cyprus for your 2018 property purchase?

1. Find luxury for less

It’s certainly worth comparing Cyprus’ affordability to other sunshine hotspots if you’re buying a holiday home this year. Property prices on this beautiful Island at the crossroads of Europe and the Middle East measure up favourably in both directions. An apartment in central Paphos, for example, is less than half the price of similar property in other Mediterranean cities. And the latest master planned developments in Paphos and Limassol feature luxury villas, spas and beach clubs to rival dazzling residential communities in Dubai’s prime property areas – without the price tag. Just Landed also calculates the total cost of buying a property in Cyprus – including legal fees and VAT – at 10% lower than elsewhere in Western Europe. So, if 2017 marked the start of a gradual price climb in Cyprus real estate, 2018 is the year to buy a luxury property you can profit from later.

Guide to Letting Property in Portugal

Letting property in Portugal can be a good way to make use of a holiday home or to earn money from an investment property in a popular coastal area.

Legal Requirements

You will need a rental license to let property in Portugal and the property will have to meet some basic requirements for safety and habitability. The property may need to be inspected before the license is granted and you will also need to provide copies of the title deeds, gas and electricity inspection certificates and other important documents.

You will also need to sign a contract with your tenant, which will specify terms such as the length of the lease and how much notice you require from your tenant. The law in Portugal tends to favour the tenant’s rights, so it is important to know exactly what the contract says before you sign. You should also know your rights, including when you are allowed to ask a tenant to leave and when you can increase the rent.

Guide to Renting Property in Portugal

Renting property in Portugal can be an excellent option while you are looking for a property to buy or if you need to be more flexible.

What Kind of Rental Properties Can I Find in Portugal?

Portugal rental homes include everything from villas and townhouses to city apartments and suburban townhouses, but it can be difficult to find long term rentals unless you use a good estate agency. In Portugal, property to rent isn’t as common as property for sale, since most people own their own homes. Shorter term rentals and holiday lets are relatively common, particularly in the Algarve and other coastal areas, where it can be difficult to find leases for more than a year. Elsewhere, longer term contracts are more common, with many agreements starting at one to five years.

Guide to Buying property in Portugal

Buying property in Portugal can be a good option if you are looking for affordable property on the Mediterranean coast or an unspoiled rural idyll inthe sun.

What Kind of Property Can I Buy in Portugal?

Property in Portugal comes in a wide range of styles and sizes. Villas and rustic properties are particularly common, but there are also plenty of townhouses and apartments. Condominium style and resort properties are another option when you buy real estate in Portugal, particularly along the Southern coast, but these kinds of developments are less common than in neighbouring Spain due to tighter controls. The restrictions on building here has meant fewer new properties on the market and many unspoiled areas, even along the coast.
