Beaches, climate, culture: Spain charms Belgian buyers
Spain is one of the top destinations for Belgians purchasing second homes. It is home to 73,862 Belgian property owners. Each region has its own architectural influences, from Andalusia with its patios and arches to Barcelona with Gaudí’s famous works, offering a unique setting for living or investing.
The advantages of real estate investment in France for Belgians
While Spain attracts many Belgians, France is also a preferred destination. Representing 20% of acquisitions made by non-resident buyers, Belgians find a great variety of landscapes, a pleasant climate, and a rich cultural heritage. Its proximity and investment opportunities make it an ideal place for a second home. Additionally, favorable banking conditions and taxation regulated by the Franco-Belgian convention facilitate the purchase. Rental income is taxed only in France, while capital gains on resale are considered in Belgium for the calculation of the overall tax rate.
Investing in Lake Annecy: A perfect balance between nature and dynamism
France remains the preferred destination for Belgians purchasing a second home, and Lake Annecy is among its most prized gems. Nestled in the heart of the Alps, near Geneva, this region is attracting more and more investors. With its crystal-clear waters, majestic mountains, and picturesque villages, Annecy offers a perfect harmony between nature and urban dynamism. Its quality of life, modern infrastructure, and attractive real estate market make it an ideal destination for a second home or a rental investment. Its heritage, cultural events, and gastronomy enhance the appeal of this city, where life is enjoyable all year round.
