Once the deal is signed and the property is yours, you need to get things up and running. From the basics like getting the electricity bill put in your name, right through to getting planning permission for major buiding works. What needs doing depends on the type of property you've chosen, and the reason for your purchase – Planet Subzero covers all the possible angles.

Rental: your first choice if you intend to rent your property out is the basis on which you intend to do so – weekly, monthly, seasonal, or yearly. The most lucrative solution is renting weekly, but this also comes with the most administration requirements as it regards finding tenants, cleaning the property between one set leaving and the next set arriving, replacing breakages, and so on. Weekly rental tenants are also most likely to have high expectations for the properties mod-cons. The scale slides to yearly rentals, which have significantly lower admin requirements, but equally the per-week revenue will be less. Some resorts offer better yearly rentals than others - some have little or no summer / inter season demand so your rental imcome will be 100% sourced in winter.

If you plan to rent your property and do not want to manage it yourself, Planet Subzero can handle your property for you, covering everything from initial furnishing, managing the day-to-day running of the property, targeted advertising, and handling tenants. From the initial enquiry and booking through to organising travel, transfers, and looking after them for the duration of their stay.

If you plan to live in your property yourself, we can organise anything you might need to make the transition from your current home as easy as possible. That means everything from setting up your utility bills for you, organising your internet connection or satellite TV, through to researching local schools for your children, arranging removals, registering for bank accounts, or advising you on how to set up as a French based independent worker or company.

For properties bought to renovate, we can help you as much or as little as you like with the renovations process. We have an excellent network of builders, developers, and can help with anything from an 'ikea' makeover to a full demolition job. From helping you choose bathroom tiles and buy the best value kitchen equipment, to getting the jacuzzi installed, the wood delivered or keeping tabs on the architects and builders.

Planet Subzero's services are tailor made for you. We aim to be your 'man on the ground'. Just ask and we'll do our best to help!
