« Great Team ! They negotiated a loan in record time for the purchase of a house in France (I live out of the country) and explained all the different options. I would highly recommend their services ! »

« The process was a bit drawn out and demanding for American buyers, however, Carte Financement (Ms. Li) provided excellent guidance and customer service throughout. We are very happy with the end result and highly recommend Carte Financement. »

« Just bought a flat in Paris using Carte Financement. Carte Finacement were excellent and professional. Fluent English spoken by their staff. They provided support at each stage of the mortgage application. Despite the application being during the traditionally slow summer July/August period they responded quickly. And most importantly the fixed rate mortgage interest rate was very competitive. »

« I highly recommend Douglas Martin for anyone wanting to acquire a loan to purchase property in France. He made impossible possible! Despite the fact that my husband and I both speak French, not living in France makes understanding everything, navigating the process difficult. From the beginning, Douglas has been extremely helpful, very responsive, responsible and knowledgeable. We dealt with many professionals in France, and he was the only one that exceeded our expectation and delivered everything promised. He was thorough, detail oriented and explained everything so well. He was fluent in English and French, so communication was easy. He worked through the summer time for us, which may sound nothing unusual, but actually a HUGE deal in France as everyone is on vacation in the summer in France! »

  • Residential mortgage: permanent residence, second home, apartments, ski property, castle…
  • Buy to let & leaseback: residential, offices, shops…
  • Alternative financial request such as: remortgage, equity release, post-financing…
  • In most of the countries, banks are given a decision in principle before you start looking for a property. Whereas in France banks will never give you this agreement principle before signing the preliminary sales agreement (in which a resolutive condition can be inserted for the mortgage).
  • French banks are often reluctant to finance non-resident clients because of the specificities of your profile: local contracts written in a foreign language, specific tax system, the fact that you do not domiciled your salary and your savings like a normal French resident would do …
