No. Our fees are paid by the developer or selling partner, not the buyer. You pay the same price as going direct, with the benefit of independent guidance alongside it.
The Association of International Property Professionals holds members to a code of conduct covering transparency, fair dealing and complaints procedures. Domosno has been an AIPP member since 2010.
We cover the main French Alpine ski domains and ski resorts including Morzine, Chamonix, Meribel, Val d'Isere, Alpe d'Huez, Saint-Gervais, Les Gets, La Plagne and Thollon-les-Memises.
Around 90% of our clients are international buyers, many UK-based, purchasing for a blend of personal use, rental income and long-term capital growth.
Yes. France does not restrict foreign nationals from buying residential property. The process is structured around reservation, cooling-off, notaire checks and completion.
We can introduce specialist French mortgage brokers and bilingual advisers who work regularly with international buyers and understand cross-border documentation.
UK nationals can still own property in France. Personal stays are governed by Schengen rules unless you arrange a suitable long-stay visa.
Yes. We can introduce rental managers, property managers, snagging inspectors and furniture suppliers, and remain available as the property market evolves.
New-builds can offer lower notaire fees, modern energy standards, construction warranties and potential VAT reclaim when eligible commercial rental structures are used.
Broadly, buyers reserve a unit, benefit from the SRU cooling-off period, sign the VEFA contract before the notaire, then make staged payments through construction until completion.
In specific new-build commercial rental structures, buyers may be able to reclaim TVA. Eligibility depends on the structure, rental use and tax advice, so it should be confirmed before purchase.
