Frequently Asked Questions

Do French banks still offer Mortgages to non-residents?

Yes, but very few do so proactively. Most online banks systematically decline these applications, and many traditional banks do not have an advisor trained to handle this type of file. We work exclusively with 15+ partners that actively provide Mortgage financing for expatriates.

Does my country of residence affect my Mortgage application?

Yes. Some countries are viewed more favorably than others by banks. Economically stable countries (Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE, the EU) make access to mortgage easier. For countries considered higher risk, we know which banks accept these profiles.
