We are really pleased to announce that Assetz International, the UK’s leading authority on the French leaseback scheme, have released a revolutionary new holiday home investment vehicle called the ‘Assetz Leaseback™’.

The Assetz Leaseback™ is an investment solution designed by, and exclusive to, Assetz International which builds on the strengths of the traditional French leaseback scheme whilst removing a number of weaknesses that some people found difficult to accept.

Background :

Assetz International was the first company to introduce the French leaseback scheme commercially to the UK nearly 5 years ago. Before Assetz carried out the large-scale education of the scheme here in the UK it was very much an urban myth, unknown to most and often misunderstood by those who had heard of it.

Since then we have witnessed French leaseback grow from a hitherto unknown investment scheme to become one of the most popular forms of overseas property investment in the marketplace today. Just five years ago there was just one web page on the Internet referring to this scheme in English- today there are over 25,000 pages thanks to Assetz and many satisfied owners receiving hassle-free rental income.

Over the years we have provided hundreds of our clients with high performing long term leaseback investments yet despite this success some of our clients wanted more. Our research and our client’s feedback has highlighted some key weaknesses in the traditional French leaseback scheme that have put some people off this strong investment so we have worked hard to create the Assetz Leaseback™, a revised scheme based upon the strengths of the conventional leaseback scheme whilst addressing a number of weaknesses. The Assetz Leaseback™ is the culmination of a partnership between Assetz International and some of France’s most forward thinking developers, accountants and tax advisers and is superior to leaseback in many ways.

The fundamental rationale behind the Assetz Leaseback™ is flexibility – flexibility of personal use, flexibility of the rental lease and flexibility of re-sale.

The Key Benefits of Assetz Leaseback™:

1) The owner is able to have complete flexibility in their personal usage patterns either benefiting from guaranteed rental incomes or variable incomes from a managed rental pool.

2) Guaranteed rents are secured through long term leases as with conventional leaseback, however, the owner can choose to end this arrangement with a break- clause after the initial 5 years of the lease.

3) The ability to opt out of the rental lease means that investors can re-sell their property easily in the medium term without being encumbered by an ongoing lease.

4) The Assetz Leaseback™ can be applied to high specification classic apartments and villas thus offering a higher standard of property than is typically available on conventional leaseback schemes providing greater comfort for users and superior resale value.

5) Leases are renewable after the maturity of the initial period, though this is never obligatory and there will not be financial penalties for not renewing.

6) All of the above is possible whilst the purchaser still receives the full VAT rebate that represents a discount of 16.4% from the purchase price of new property !
