French ZERO INTEREST LOAN FOR EXPATS


The PTZ Plus was also planned for the French overseas!

Indeed, in order to benefit from this aid scheme, the suitor must report their income (reference taxable income) for the year N-2.
For expatriates, it is possible to introduce a tax notice issued by a foreign tax administration or a certificate of another relevant authority or employer of the purchaser.

On the other hand, the question arose for the first-time buyers. A French resident must prove that he has not owned in the past 2 years (see the documents required ). But what about living abroad?

A note of SGFGAS (public body responsible for managing the device) answers the question: “The aim is to promote home ownership of a principal residence in France provisions are applicable only in France . As a result, a person living abroad is not the owner in France , and is therefore considered first-time buyers on the period or periods of residence outside of France. Clearly, you may very well be or have owned your principal residence abroad. Just to prove that you were living well outside of France in the past 2 years. If you do not find abroad for the full two years, you will still need to prove your property for non- periods when you were living in France.
