Property Letter - 10th October 2005

Dear All,

I warned you that I might need to add some apartments to my Property Letter of a few days ago.

Please remember that we are in the business of careful selection. Therefore I am not offering apartments which don’t have what it takes to be good investment properties. We reject many good apartments for reasons that the sellers and agents fail to understand – for example we rejected a lovingly restored apartment last week because it was too close to the railway line, although it was double glazed and didn’t look at the tracks. We rejected another because the neighboring apartment owner obviously has a big dog! The carpet in the corridor leading from the lift is discoloured and smells of wet dog, and we have no way of knowing when the dog will go, or when the carpet will be replaced. It could be years. It would have been a difficult apartment to rent although it was everything one could wish for inside and the building is very good. Read the rest of this entry »

Studios in Cannes, Financing property in France

Property Letter - 4th October 2005
(Some interesting investment options are as usual included at the end of the letter….including a new opportunity in Montenegro that could be of interest)

Dear All,

Many people have recently asked to be included in mailings and the questions most commonly asked of us are “Who are you?” and “Why are you in France?” People seem intrigued that a family of foreigners is running an organization in France that provides a ‘total solution’ in property investment, management and rental for non-French investors. (For those who have been on the mailing list for years, and you’ve heard it all before, please skip the next bits and come in at “Capital appreciation update”. That’s really interesting.)

Cannes Property Summary - UPDATE OCTOBER 2005

Posted by LoveNotWar on October 3, 2005

We continue to learn here every day:

The more we learn the more we know that we have very good long term prospects in Cannes, doing exactly what we are doing, and doing it very well. Our focus from the beginning has been on properties that you and I might not necessarily buy for ourselves and our friends and family, but on income generating units that have the ability to increase in capital value too.

Increasingly however people are asking us to source properties that they wish to keep as second or holiday homes, and are less interested in rental prospects and more in the potential for capital appreciation, and for enjoyment and personal use. It is a slightly different emphasis and equally rewarding for us and them.

We have visited the Cote d’Azur for many years. However before we started buying three and a half years ago we again travelled up and down the length of it. We looked at Nice, Villefranche which we love, Monaco, Menton, Cagnes sur Mer, Antibes, Baai des Ange, and Juan les Pins. But every piece of investment intelligence we could gather pointed us at Cannes, and within Cannes, at the Croisette. Consequently most of the 40 or so apartments we have bought are within a stones throw of the Croisette or on it, and within 15 minutes walk of the Palais des Festival. Read the rest of this entry »
