Interest Free French Mortgages for House Purchase

Tuesday 15 June 2010

There are interest free mortgages available for house purchase in France, to which certain expat groups are eligible.

These loans are called prêt a taux zéro.

However, do not hold your breath that it will fund your house purchase in France, as the amount you can borrow is generally quite low.

There are also other qualifying grounds to be eligible.

We have provided a guide to these loans, which covers:

  1. i. Purpose of the Loan
  2. ii. Eligible Persons
  3. iii. Income Thresholds
  4. iv. Maximum Amount of Loan
  5. v. Application Procedure

You can read about the loans in our guide to Prêt a taux zéro.
