Paris, priced differently.

A primer for international investors on viager and why it is drawing renewed attention from outside France.

What happens next

Register and everything opens at once: the Paris Briefing, a recorded conversation working through the mechanics, the numbers and the risks from end to end, all nine course modules, and the calculator, where you set the vacant-possession value, your own growth assumption, the occupant’s age, the bouquet, the rente, the indexation and every ongoing cost, and see the position across five longevity scenarios including the ones that go against you.

Nothing is held back and nothing is charged. The first three modules and one run of the calculator take about 45mins, and completing them is what unlocks a conversation with our founder.

There is nothing to book at the end of this page, and no call to schedule.

Why it runs in this order.

We do not ask anyone to form a view on viager from a landing page. It is a long-dated commitment governed by French law, the risks are real and specific, and the only sound decision is an informed one.

So the education comes first, and it is free. Nobody is taken on as a client without having worked through it and run their own numbers, which protects them at least as much as it protects us. Some people reach the end and decide it is not for them. That is a good outcome, and we would rather it happened at that point than in year seven.

This page and the briefing it offers contain general information and commentary only. Neither is financial, legal, tax or investment advice, and neither is an offer or invitation to invest. Viager transactions are governed by French law and executed before a notaire, and prospective purchasers must obtain independent legal, tax and financial advice in their own jurisdiction. All figures are indicative and illustrative and are not forecasts. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. All purchases carry risk, including loss of capital.
