We are an unmarried couple wishing to buy a french house for restoration as a second home. In order to minimise the penalties involved in such a purchase,those of french inheritance tax etc, for people of our unmarried status we have been given two pieces of advice. Purchase the property by setting up either a french company(SCI); or, a UK company.Are either of these approaches the best way to proceed; or, is there a better alternative.

Dear Catherine

It is very popular to use a offshore property holding company as some of these companies do not pay CGT and have other advantages.

Please feel free to get in touch to discuss further.
