Tailored Advisory for Your French Property Acquisition

Acquiring property in France while living in the Netherlands comes with distinct cross-border challenges: slow response times from local French agents, dense technical diagnostics (DPE energy ratings, structural checks), untranslated legal agreements, and complex tax structuring.

Based in Amsterdam, MV Property operates as your independent, local buyer’s advisor. We provide clear, end-to-end guidance tailored to expats and Netherlands residents—from initial market screening and thorough property audits to direct price negotiations and tax strategy. We bridge the gap between both countries, turning complex French acquisitions into secure, transparent, and high-performing investments.

Our 5-steps acquisition process

  • Scoping

    We get to know each-other. Define your situation, investment goals, budget, tax requirements, and ideal French location during a dedicated consultation in Amsterdam or remotely.

  • Sourcing

    Targeted market screening and off-market search to select only properties matching your strict Program of Requirements.

  • Audit

    Analysis of selected properties, datas, potential yields. Thorough legal and technical verification: reviewing HOA minutes, DPE energy ratings, building charges, and potential risks and opportunities.

  • Negotiation

    Data-backed price negotiation and strategic offer submission to secure the best possible purchase price. Incl. DVF market analysis.

  • Closing

    End-to-end management through French notary interactions, contract sign-offs, and administrative handover. Until key delivery, and until tenant is in place if you want to rent.

Start your project

  • We act exclusively as a Buyer's Agent & Advisory Service for Dutch residents and expats living in the Netherlands. We help you source, evaluate, negotiate, and structure high-yield real estate investments in France—providing end-to-end guidance without any conflict of interest.

  • Investing in the Netherlands (even outside major cities) comes with high entry prices, low net yields, strict rental regulations, and increasing Box 3 wealth taxes. France offers significantly lower prices per square meter, strong rental yields, and tax-efficient ownership structures (like LMNP or SCI) that optimize your overall returns.

  • No. We handle the local execution for you. We coordinate with English-speaking French notaries, tax advisors, and local property managers so you can complete your acquisition smoothly and remotely from the Netherlands.

  • Yes. If you own property in the Netherlands that has increased in value, you can release equity (oversluiten or tweede hypotheek) through a Dutch lender. You can use this equity partially (as a deposit to secure a mortgage from a French bank) or fully to acquire high-yield property 100% cash.

  • We suggest a tailored proposal depending on your specific project and scope of guidance. We start with a Free 20-Min Discovery Call to assess your goals, after which you receive a customized roadmap and transparent fee proposal.

  • Under the France–Netherlands tax treaty, real estate is taxed in the country where the property is physically located. Rental income is declared in France, where local depreciation rules can minimize your tax burden. In the Netherlands, foreign property holdings benefit from double taxation relief under Box 3.
