Ownership Office

French property ownership generates a steady stream of obligations — tax filings, utility contracts, insurance renewals, local government correspondence, and financial reporting. It all arrives in French, on French timelines, and it doesn’t pause because you live in Sydney.

What we handle

We act as your permanent back office in France, managing the administrative and fiscal complexity of ownership so nothing gets missed.

Tax and fiscal management

We coordinate your annual property tax filings (taxe fonciere, taxe d’habitation, wealth tax declarations) with your accountant and ensure compliance with both French and international obligations. No missed deadlines, no surprises.

Utility and service management

Electricity, water, gas, internet, garden maintenance contracts, pool service — we set up, monitor, and manage every service provider connected to your property.

Insurance

We review and manage your property insurance annually, ensuring adequate coverage for the building, contents, and liability. If something goes wrong, we handle the claim process end to end.

Correspondence and liaison

Official letters, local government communications, community (copropriete) meeting minutes — we receive, translate, and respond on your behalf.

Financial oversight

We provide clear, regular reporting on all property-related expenses and coordinate payments through your French bank account.

Why it matters

International owners who manage French property remotely often discover too late that a tax filing was missed, an insurance policy lapsed, or a utility contract was renewed at unfavorable terms. With a dedicated concierge, nothing falls through the cracks.
