Within our weekly show I thought it would be helpful to occasionally choose a few of the many exceptional projects we have for sale and give a more in-depth taste of the developments.

So in today’s latest episode of the Alpine Property Podcast, I’ve picked two ski in and out projects for sale in the resorts of Notre Dame de Bellecombe within the Espace Diamant ski domain and a new development just released in La Plagne within the Paradiski ski area. In addition to reviewing these developments, I also cover a question I’m asked on a regular basis, regarding reclaiming the French VAT of 20%, when purchasing and renting new properties.

During the last episode, I spoke about some of the benefits of video calls and our company mission to visit new project launches so that we can understand them fully. On that note, I will be visiting the recently launched Plagne Bellecote project from lunch time on the 13th March 2023. Should any listener wish to organise an onsite video call, I’d be happy to set this up. Please contact me via the show notes and we can finalise a suitable time.

Historically those in real estate like us would have generally relied on static high-resolution photos in their advertisements to promote their property. But with the need for the real estate market to continue during the global lockdowns, the Real Estate sector had to evolve.

In this latest episode of the Alpine Property podcast we will be discussing the pros and cons of viewing and purchasing property in the Alps using video calls, as well as the most commonly used video call Apps used to showcase properties to clients.

Given the past restrictions on travel thanks to Covid, live video calls were adapted to showcase properties. Now we can freely travel again, would you consider a live video property call to make your decision to purchase a property or must it absolutely be an in person visit? I would love to know your thoughts?

In today's episode, we're diving into the age-old question of whether to rent or buy your ski gear for your next adventure.

On one hand, renting gear can be a cost-effective option, especially if you're only an occasional skier or if you're uncertain of your skill level. Renting also allows you to try out different types of equipment and see what works best for you before making a purchase. On the other hand, owning your own gear can save you money in the long run, and you'll have the added convenience of having your gear readily available whenever you're ready to hit the slopes.

In the end, the decision of whether to rent or buy your ski gear comes down to your personal preferences and budget. Weighing the pros and cons of each option can help you make an informed decision. Ultimately, the most important thing is that you have a great time on the slopes, no matter what gear you choose. Happy skiing!
