How big can I afford?

I am sure you have arrived at a budget, what you think you might want to spend on a place in the mountains, but do you know if you can borrow that amount? If you do great; read on.

If you don't ask our mortgage advisor. It helps define your search and keeps you realistic.

First things first, think about how much time you think you will spend using it, what is guaranteed is that friends and relatives will come out of the woodwork as soon as you have announced your intention to buy a ski chalet or apartment.

So think about this, after all the getaway is for you and doesn't work if some of the things that you are trying to get away from come with you.

Or just keep quiet!

This may help you focus on how many bedrooms you might want as well.

Then think about your budget, if you can stretch to owning a property outright then you avoid the copropriete charges, but are then responsible for all the upkeep. Don't forget to include, utility bills, insurance costs in your equation. Also ask yourself if you want to spend all your holiday time hacking at the metre high grass in summer or the same depth of ice in winter.


Maybe you can persuade some F****R's to help?

Of course I mean Friends and Relatives.


But if you can't get them to do it then we can find someone who can.

So if you need someone to cut the grass, someone to maintain your property, need wood to burn, or replacement bedlinen any of those things that take up holiday time. Then just ask us we are here to help.
