MHA-Invest SAS is a real estate agency with its principal office in Biarritz, where it is registered with the Chambre de Commerce in Bayonne. Its activities in France are insured by the leading French insurer, AXA.
Its objective is to provide a one-stop service for international real estate investment. Overseeing the acquisition, advising, securing and supporting our clients in the purchase of their properties abroad – this is the MHA leitmotif.
To do this, MHA has a network of partners and advisers which it calls upon to advise its clients. This includes law firms specialising in real estate, notaries, accountants, specialist tax advisers, surveyors, engineers, architects, brokers, banks and financiers. MHA is present in France, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Hong Kong, with close affiliates in Spain and Greece and intends to develop rapidly in other geographical sectors.
MHA offers you real estate solutions to meet your specific requirements (whether for an investment in apartments, villas, chalets or commercial property) either for your main or secondary residence, or purely for investment purposes.
In addition, for all investors residing outside the Schengen area, particularly for British investors after Brexit, and investors from Asia and North and South America, MHA is able to offer the possibility of a real estate investment with the added benefit of a « Golden Visa ».
MHA will be at your side to manage your real estate purchase from start to finish, turning your dream into reality.
The cost of our services are integrated into the overall cost of acquiring the property, which will save you considerable time, money and stress.
MHA-Invest - "Mon habitatation ailleurs" or "My home abroad" - will help you to structure and secure your real estate investment overseas.
Making a real estate investment abroad is most often complex and sometimes risky if you do not have the right advisers to support you.
Each country has its own legal, tax and administrative regulations. Private investors looking to buy property overseas are suddenly exposed to a regulatory framework in a language they are unfamiliar with.
It is therefore important to be accompanied and advised by independent experts.
MHA has a wealth of experience in international real estate transactions, and has a network of professional advisers all of whom are specialists in their home markets: MHA’s network includes lawyers and notaries, tax specialists, real estate agents, accountants, and banks and mortgage advisers. The lawyers MHA works with all speak a number of different languages (including English, French and German), so that if a client has any specific concerns, these can be fully addressed.
MHA provides investors with a turnkey service for their property investment, whether for a primary or secondary residence or for a commercial investment.
