Best Exclusive to Erna Low Property: Cottage Alpin in Les Gets

Exclusive to Erna Low Property, these 1-3 bed apartments offer breathtaking views and are located just an hour from Geneva airport.

Les Gets is both a popular winter sports destination as well as being a mecca for mountain bike enthusiasts in the summer months. From 345,000 euros

Francois Marchand, Managing Director, adds, “We do not see Brexit as a barrier to people buying their dream property in the Alps. It is still possible to spend up to 90 days [in every 180 days each year] in a French property and many of our developments come with rent back schemes whereby clients can safely rent out their properties whilst they are not using them. We are working hard for clients to complete their property purchases and whilst Covid 19 may be creating some delays, it is certainly not preventing a purchase.”

Andrew Scatchard, Sales Manager, notes “With the current WFH arrangement looking set to stay, one of our main client questions is surrounding strength of wifi, and adding an office or study space. We’re always glad to inform that fibre optic/state of the art connections are available within all major resorts. We also love lending a hand on designing a 365 day liveable apartment/chalet, that allows our clients space and time to work, play and relax”

Francois Marchand, Managing Director of Erna Low Property comments, “With continued demand for properties in the Alps, we are proud to have made it through this last year of restrictions and difficulties. Arc 1950 continues to be a popular destination and we have many ongoing re-sales of apartments here, despite the village being mostly closed right now. Once the world opens up again, these apartments will come in to their own with full concierge facilities, excellent rental income and ultimately a limited supply. French mortgage rates remain low and whilst we have seen some delays caused by the part-closure of our French bank and notaire partners, rather than buyers cancelling their purchases, most have been happy to accept a small delay and continue with their purchase. Buyers who have cash are obviously in a great place to make a secure investment in a property purchase in the French Alps.”

Andrew Scatchard, Sales Manager: “With an ever-challenging situation in the global economy, the resilience of Erna Low Property’s new and existing enquiries has been an encouraging light at the end of the tunnel. With our new Pierre & Vacances resale partnership, many clients are reassured by the guaranteed returns, and super prime locations. With interest rates at an all time low (some clients achieving 1.2% fixed for 20 years) it still is a good time to invest in a dream mountain home.”
