You have three main routes: a Belgian mortgage (some banks lend to residents of France, assessing income and security), a French mortgage secured on French assets, or your own funds. There is no legal bar to a France-based buyer financing…

Easyhome, through easyhome-espagne.be, focuses on Spain’s popular Mediterranean coastal regions, the areas where Belgian second-home buyers concentrate. Because Spanish purchase taxes are set by each autonomous community, the region you choose directly changes your total bill, so Easyhome matches your…
