7.1. Introduction

One of the distinguishing features of the French mortgage market is the availability of a range of government regulated and subsidised mortgages, alongside more conventional mainstream mortgage products.

Indeed, it is common practice amongst French residents to purchase a property using more than one mortgage on a property, comprising one or more subsidised mortgages, together with the principal loan facility.

Most subsidised mortgages have numerous restrictions, the most notable of which is that they are only available to those resident in France, or those becoming resident.
