Thollon-les-Mémises, Haute-Savoie, Rhone Alps, France

Domosno was created to address the need for an estate agency serving International property buyers in the French Alps. It has been centred around the principle that the complex and often daunting process of buying property abroad is best served by professional, local advice in English.

Our clientele over the years has been mainly from the UK, Scandinavia, UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa and many other locations.

For many years, we have specialised in new-build ski properties and selling mostly off-plan new projects in many of the best French Alps ski resorts in Haute Savoie, Savoie and Isère.

We make the link between English-speaking buyers and the local French ski property market, whether you're looking for a budget studio, an extensive apartment or a standalone luxury chalet.

Some international agents seem to think that their clients have infinite funds. We believe that providing value for money for all clients is also important and we like to find alternatives to some of the very high prices now found in the Alps.

Today we have partnered with some of the best French agents on-site so that we benefit from the best local presence and still offer our very international assistance to provide a hassle-free property purchase.

Outline of some of our services:

Full-service estate agency specifically catering for English-speaking foreign buyers

Organising virtual or on-site visits

Guiding our clients at every step of the buying process

Providing all documents in English

Liaising between the different parties (buyer, seller or developer, French notary, French bank and tax authorities)

Free independent English-speaking legal assistance is provided free of charge

Providing assistance to claim the 20% VAT back on the price (for new-build ski properties)

Finding the best French mortgages at a low rate

Assisting with the rental management of your property

We now also offer a small selection of carefully selected premium properties all over France and Spain through co-ownership

Because we also love to find value for money for our clients and understand that the last few years have seen an exponential rise in international property prices for second homes, we are the pioneer of a new smart way to purchase your holiday home called co-ownership.

We carefully select premium properties in the French Alps but also in other popular French regions as well as in the best Spanish areas (Balearics, Costas, Barcelona, etc) and more. We believe that a property agent today should also offer different ways of acquiring or enjoying properties. Contact us for more info.

90% of our properties on our books are still through traditional ownership but we firmly believe in offering our clients new ways to own real estate.

At Domosno (www.domosno.com), we work closely with a wide range of chosen developers all over the French Alps to ensure that our clients are in the hands of the best professionals when looking for the right French new-build ski property (mainly ski properties).

At Domosno, we assist our UK and international clients throughout purchasing the chosen property, from the initial enquiry until completion (and very often beyond). Following a strict selection process, we usually list a maximum of 100 new-build ski projects and tend to concentrate, on average, on a handful of property developments.

Our services are free, and we list all our newly built properties at the developer's price. Also, we offer the advantage of impartial advice and can recommend other developments for you to compare. We constantly negotiate better conditions for our clients and offer promotions on many of our new-build properties all year round.

Obtaining a French mortgage

We work with various leading French banks, and we will be able to provide you with the best mortgage formula according to your specifications and financial situation.

Tax and Legal Advice

We will help you optimise your investments, liaising with tax authorities and recommending you to one of the most reputable bilingual notary offices in your investment. Our French notaire service is also free of charge, saving you thousands in legal fees.

Thanks.
