Given the UK, Belgium or Switzerland, the exiled French tax is a godsend. Or rather a client to conquer. On this lucrative market, the election of Francois Hollande whets the appetite. Two measures of the new president – ISF and heavier taxation to 75% of revenues in excess of 1 million euros – may scare away more French taxpayers. The British intend to benefit and say it bluntly. "I think a number of terrible French will want to come to London", welcomed Iain Duncan Smith, the British Secretary of State for Labour, just before the victory of Francois Hollande. The English press is full of testimonials from real estate agents London noting an influx of French.

In fact, in France, tax lawyers perceive an increase of candidates for exile. "I treated a dozen applications for three months against six to eight per year once," says Corinne Dadi, a lawyer with Stehlin & Associés. Two hold the rope destinations: the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The two countries have for them the absence of ISF and tax regimes for foreigners: package negotiated with the IRS and soldant all taxes, Bern, and exemption of income not repatriated to Britain, to London . "Both countries outside the euro area, which reassures those who doubt the future of the single currency," says Marc Vaslin, associate lawyer at Scotto & Associates. Indeed, the banks of the Thames and Lake Geneva are not really competitors. Would not that because the beneficiaries of the Swiss tax package should not work in the country. "London is a cosmopolitan city for working executives. Those who go to Switzerland are rather retirees who enjoy the climate and security, "says Christophe Chaillet, director of engineering heritage HSBC France.

Swiss Secrecy

Especially, unlike the English, the Swiss authorities are playing the card of discretion. The government is doing everything for the country to get rid of the label of tax haven payday advance. In addition, a portion of the population Helvetian, supported by the left, opposed the package. Reason: local citizens pay, themselves, suffer heavy taxes and the housing boom caused by tax exiles. The canton of Zurich has abandoned the system of lump sum taxation, and a petition to that effect circulated in Geneva. "This petition does not certainly result. But the trend is upward packages to avoid becoming too unpopular and are removed, "said Marc Vaslin. Not enough, however, lose its attractiveness to Switzerland. "The country has sound public finances, which is reassuring for the long term," said Corinne Dadi. The fact that the British government takes a liberal policy is also an appreciated.

In contrast, Belgium, heavily in debt (public debt reached 98% of GDP), has now less popular among the candidates for the tax exile. "My clients are concerned Belgian tax increases," says Corinne Dadi. "I would not be surprised that the gains of less than five years end up being taxed. But the exemption of capital gains is the main attraction of this country, especially for those selling their businesses, "adds Marc Vaslin. As for Spain, it came out the exiles from radar screens, due to recovery of the ISF and economy in crisis.

Anyway, the decision to leave France is often painful. This is why lawyers are also working on schemes that will allow their French customers not to be too adversely affected by future tax measures.

Egg prices more than doubled in one year. "Today, 100 eggs cotent 9.5 euros on the spot market (market day to day), Figaro tells the Christian Marinov, director of the French Confederation of poultry farming (CFA). There was a year they were worth 4.62 euros. " With a peak on March 13 at 13.53 euros for 100 eggs.

Main cause of this sudden increase: up to standard European cages for laying hens. Brussels imposed from 1 January 2012, a minimum area of ​​750 farms in square centimeters against 550 before. "The drop in production comes from the adaptation time required for farms transform their building is being finished, adds Christian Marinov. Some of the 1500 French producers have taken a little late compared to their investment plans to bring their buildings up to standard. This is the first time we have received state aid, $ 12 million over one billion euros in investment cash advance no fax. But all eggs produced in France since the beginning of the year are the standards, "stressed the head of the CFA.

Also the current shortage in France, European leader with 15 billion eggs consumed annually is it only temporary. "We will return to normal by next July when the farms are all in line. Courses on the spot market should go down significantly, "said Christian Marinov, recalling that" the balance point is around 6 euros for 100 eggs to the producer. "

Meanwhile processors who refused any contractual take their troubles patiently. These include manufacturers of pasta or pastry industry. "For the consumer the impact is limited, an increase of about 2 to 3% on the selling price," says Christian Marinov.

"We must get prepared," says Sebastien de Lafond, Meilleursagents.com. First thing to check: consistency in the price of well visited. To form an opinion, we must investigate the prices in the sector. Review the ads of websites is a first approach, but the prices are often overstated.

In general, buyers know quickly if they feel good about visiting the home. However, relying on first impressions is not enough. An apartment in disarray, a faded painting or a smell of smoke sometimes repel the visitor, but do not stop there. What counts are the qualities of housing. "We must keep in mind their priorities, says Philippe Conte, a member of the Institute of Chartered Fnaim, but few buyers who do not make concessions."

The cellars and common premises speak volumes about the maintenance of the building.

Do not hesitate to revisit the well several times

In housing, we must inspect everything. To house, checking the roof and the attic is a priority. Broken tiles or mossy cause leaks inside. Get into the attic to check insulation. Many homes built before 1974 do not. Inside, the walls, floors must be watched closely. A crack is a defect common in the former. However traces of moisture on the ceiling indicate a leak or a leak from a neighbor. Same for the balcony or terrace. Also check the condition of pipes, electricity, windows … In home, you need to check with the town planning services to ensure that a building will not obstruct a nice view or generate nuisance.

To evaluate the condo fees, "we must also require the last minutes of the meeting, says Philippe Conte. If work were passed, they are charged to the seller. " Other Audits: diagnostics, energy consumption or age of the boiler. "Do not buy on the first visit, advises Sébastien de Lafond. It is necessary to look back two or three times, accompanied if possible. "
