How to invest

The two main area of investment we specialise in are:

  • Off plan investments

There are three general ways we can assist with the investment  

  • Purchase outright

  • Purchase with borrowing

  • Purchase through a Self Invest Personal Pension (SIPP) after April 2006

 

Why invest through Esprit  

After registering your interest with us, Esprit will propose properties that most closely match your client’s requirements.  Prospective purchasers are invited to join our investment groups of interested investors.  Membership is without any cost or obligation.  

We have links directly with the main developers in France.  We are therefore able to provide off-plan investment opportunities, and wherever possible we will negotiate the best plots.  By forming investment groups of interested buyers, we are able to negotiate more strongly with the developer.  

However the client is under no obligation to buy, nor are there any fees charged.  We will simply provide the client with the requested sales information.  The client then decides if he or she wishes to proceed.  Hereafter the client deals directly with the developer, and can arrange an inspection visit where appropriate. The developer undertakes to provide an English speaking client representative.
