French Leaseback Introduction

French Leaseback property has been around for two decades in France and was introduced by the French government to increase the quantity of quality holiday accommodation available in areas capable of attracting more tourists.

The properties are usually located in a “Residence de Tourisme” (Tourist Residence) or “Residence avec Services” (Residence with Services) which cater for short term lets and provide a variety of services usually to include reception, breakfast (by prior arrangement), laundry and linen services, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room…

The leaseback scheme enables you to purchase freehold a property which you then earn a rental income from. When leaseback schemes are sold, there is a pre-selected property management company to whom you "leaseback" your property for a period which usually ranges between 9 and 12 years.

French Leaseback has expanded dramatically over the last few years, and most tourist areas across the whole of France are now represented - from Brittany to Provence and all points in between! Some of these developments can qualify for SIPPs too.
