French Leasebacks Coming Back In

Posted On: 04/12/2009

French leasebacks have always been known as one of the safest investments in the world of property, because a yield of 4-5% is guaranteed by the French government.

This 4-5% yield started to look a bit pathetic compared to the yields on offer in the emerging markets, but among today's risk averse investor the security offered by French leasebacks is making them the popular choice once more. The fact that they are a hands free investment is also popular with those investing simply because the low interest rates have crippled the returns on their savings.

For those that don't know, the French government is behind the idea of French leasebacks. Buyers buy a property on the basis that they will lease it back to a letting agent for a pre-determined amount of time. The government wanted to free up quality holiday properties to save the tourist hotspots from having to get overdeveloped.

The government frees up holiday properties, the buyer gets a solid -- if not spectacular -- income as well as their own usage, and the lettings agent gets their cut -- everyone's a winner.

My sister owns a ski chalet under the French Leaseback program and she couldn't be happier. When I first got into overseas property, we started talking and I tried to sway her with talk of bigger yields, she said:

"Hey, I get my income, there's no hassle and we get our holidays for the price of a flight every year, the potential risk involved with higher yields negates the chances of us being quite as happy as we are with our French leaseback.

That was me told.

Azure Overseas have recently added some great properties for sale in France, including a leaseback in Les Menuires, view them using the links above.
