Washington concentrates profiles you meet nowhere else in the United States: World Bank and IMF staff, IDB and OAS professionals, federal and defence careers, think tank researchers, embassy postings. Six hours behind Paris, more than 6,000 kilometres away, and above all a set of tax positions that make the standard advice written for New York […]

Homelike Home is working with AmCham France, the American Chamber of Commerce in France, to support the American community buying property here. The reason is simple: the role we have played since 2003, the French chasseur immobilier, is the closest equivalent France has to the buyer’s agent Americans already know at home. We represent the buyer, […]

Every few months, a client asks us, half joking, whether we could find them the apartment from Emily in Paris. Here is the honest answer. The building is real, it stands at 1 Place de l’Estrapade in the 5th arrondissement, a few steps from the Panthéon, and nothing inside it is cheap. The flat you see on screen […]

You have signed. You report to training this week. Your family arrives at the end of the season, maybe. And a French purchase takes roughly three months from accepted offer to final deed. Those timelines do not line up, and nobody at the club is going to fix that for you. Homelike Home has been […]

Living in Singapore, buying in France almost always comes down to one of three projects: a pied-à-terre, a well-prepared return, or a straightforward investment.

The capital and a global safe haven, Paris draws stronger international demand than any other French market, and 2026 is confirming its return to form. After the correction of 2023 to 2025, when prices fell roughly 8% to 10% across the city, the market is stabilising and edging up again, helped by easing borrowing costs […]

France’s second-largest city, home to 870,000 residents, Marseille offers a real estate market with no equivalent among the major French metropolises. Its price gaps are the widest in the country: you can buy an apartment for under €2,000 per square metre in some northern districts, and pay more than €6,000 along the Corniche or in […]

France remains one of the safest and most rewarding real estate markets in the world for international investors, and 2026 is no exception. The reasons are structural rather than speculative: a chronic housing shortage in the major cities keeps rental demand high and vacancy low, a transparent legal framework protects owners, and bank financing stays […]

France is regularly ranked among the most desirable countries in the world to call home, and the appeal goes far beyond the postcard. It rests on the things that shape daily life: a universal healthcare system consistently rated among the best on the planet, a high-speed rail network that puts most of the country within […]

Investing in France from London means turning income earned in pounds into a euro-denominated asset, on a market that is more accessible than the UK and just 2h15 from St Pancras.
