Buy in France

Have you found the property which ticks all the boxes?  Your dream property!
The question is how to purchase this property:  as a private individual, via an SCI (Societe Civile Immobiliere, a French civil company set up to own property), via an SARL (Societe à responsabilite limitee, a limited company), etc?
At this stage, it is crucial to get sound advice.
By using the services of an expert, you are giving yourself the best chance for the purchase to be made under the best conditions.
As a general rule, the purchase of a property in France is made through an SCI.  This is advantageous for both French residents and foreign residents.
We believe that the SCI is especially adapted for managing and purchasing a property.  The members can be either residents or non-residents in France.
An SCI is a legal entity, which is transparent but separate from its members.  Consequently, its members are only taxable on their share of any profit made by the SCI.
Insofar as taxation of high wealth individuals, for those who are not resident in France, an SCI can provide some possibilities for reducing the tax burden.  Thus the SCI constitutes a tax shelter for its members.  An SCI enables you to transfer your property partially to your children as well as protecting the interests of the surviving spouse.

Thus, Anthony Investments is here to make your life easier by accompanying you throughout your purchase. 
The ‘mere’ act of introducing a property which is for sale will be accompanied by a selection of high value services.
