FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Another question about your situation? A Hyppo adviser will answer.

Why borrow in France rather than against the property abroad?

To lend, a lender wants a guarantee it knows how to value and enforce. A property outside France falls under the law and courts of the country where it is located. Most French lenders therefore prefer a guarantee in France, such as a property you own there.

Do I need to be a French tax resident?

At present, yes: the conditions published by Hyppo for this solution require you to be a French tax resident. If you already live abroad and want to borrow against a property in France, your situation falls under the wealth loan for non-residents, presented on a dedicated page.

Can the loan cover the whole price of the property abroad?

It depends on the value of your property in France and your income. The loan can reach 80% of the value of the property given as security, depending on your file. On the income side, debt-to-income can go up to 50% when disposable income is high.

Where is the mortgage signed?

In France. A mortgage on a property located in France is created by notarial deed (article 2409 of the French Civil Code), executed by a French notary. The purchase abroad follows the rules of the country where the property is located: get local support.
