Smart Use of Small Spaces

Volume VII, Issue 24

It’s been an ongoing joke of mine that I’d rather be ‘lucky’ than ‘smart.’ But what if your ‘luck’ only affords a small budget for a small space? That’s when your ‘smarts’ take over.
A small space can be just as smart for a Paris apartment rental as can a larger space, and yield just as high a rental return (by percentage). The trick is making sure that it’s missing NOTHING and in a small space that can be tricky.
Today’s FPI focuses on small spaces — the how to make small spaces smart, how to get the most return on investment from small spaces and some small spaces in Paris you might just want to call your own (in Hot Properties).
In addition, we have for you a variety of articles from our sister publications that are filled with interesting, important and fun information.
Meanwhile, interest rates are low, prices have gone soft for the moment. Both plus the rate of exchange is threatening to increase, so there’s no better time than now to make the leap into a French investment.
If you’re getting more serious about reinvesting your ‘paper’ money into ‘real’ assets, such as property in France, don’t hesitate to let us help you.
And for now, enjoy all French Property Insider has to offer.
A bientôt,

It May Be Small, But It’s Smart
By Adrian Leeds

In the Paris apartment rental game, it’s not how large the apartment is that increases rates or occupancy…but how many the apartment can accommodate. A studio apartment of 20 square meters or less rarely can accommodate more than two, but an apartment of approximately 30 square meters can accommodate up to four, often in two rooms (two in the bedroom with two in the living room on a sleeper sofa), rather than one large studio.
Accommodating four means your rental rate increases — not by double, but by about 150% of the rate of two-person accommodations. If you’ve paid 50% more for the apartment, then your return on investment for each is comparable.
Your decision to purchase a 20 square-meter studio may be purely financial — in that your initial investment is lower by the cost of a smaller space. Keep in mind that renovation/decora
tion for 20 square meters can be alm
ost identical to the cost of renovation/decoration for 30 square meters.

Why? Because the most expensive parts of renovation are the bathrooms and kitchens which require expensive fixtures and appliances.
A 20 square-meter studio and a 30 square-meter two-room apartment each house one bath and one kitchen, therefore the only differences may be additional furnishings for two rooms, such as a sofa bed, additional lighting, etc. Otherwise, all other amenities remain the same and therefore it’s as almost as expensive to prepare a 20 square-meter studio for rental to two people as it is a 30 square-meter two-room apartment for rental to four people.
In the industry, we use 2,000€ per square meter as an average renovation/decoration budget for high quality luxury rental apartments. Considering this is an average, let’s assume that the renovation is higher for 20 square meters and lower for 30 square meters, therefore, as an example we can assume that the fundamental work on a studio costs 40,000€ (2,000€ per square meter for 20 square meters), plus add 5,000€ for additional furnishings and incidentals for a two room apartment of 30 square meters.
So, let’s look at an example:

Studio 20m2
Two-Room 30m2
Cost:
200,000€
300,000€
Closing Costs (10%):
10,000€
30,000€
Renovation:
40,000€
45,000€
Per M2 Renovation:
2,000€
1,500€
Total Investment:
250,000€/
375,000€
Sleeps
2
4
Weekly Rental:
1,000€
1,500€
Occupancy Rate:
65%
65%
Annual Rental Yield:
33,800€
50,700€
Return on Investment:
13.52%
13.52%

Your return on investment remains the same, but your annual yield is greater with a two-room apartment. If you take the scenario into the future by 10 years, and without consideration of appreciation of the property, your profit picture changes if not the percentage of return on your investment:

10 Years Rental Yield
338,000€
507,000€
Profit
88,000€
132,000€

Furnishing a small apartment is challenging in order to create a luxurious rental property that guests will enjoy and return time and again. Everything one needs must be provided, whether in 20 square meters or 30, so the space must be carefully considered.
It is recommended that two beds be provided that can easily be connected to make one large bed to accommodate either couples or singles. In extremely small spaces, one might consider a sofa-sleeper, trundle bed, “Murphy” bed or other space-saving sleeping space. If you construct drawers under the beds, you can gain storage for linens and other items. A shower stall may replace a bathtub if the bathroom size is inadequate. Two stove burners will suffice in lieu of the normal four and a combination oven/microwave saves more kitchen space.
In small spaces, high ceilings, lots of light, bright colors and great views help alleviate any claustrophobic feelings. As long as the studio is as well equipped as the two-room apartment, your renters will love the accommodations and not only return but will tell their friends, which will help increase your rental returns.
There’s no reason not to create a small studio rental apartment, but be smart, and do it right.

Parisian Responses to Living in Small Spaces
Compiled by Schuyler Hoffman

http://www.treehugger.com
Editor’s Note: Anyone who has stayed in a Paris apartment or who owns a Paris apartment knows that they can be a bit “petit.” Much of life in Paris is an experience in downsizing from what you may be used to in other countries, especially the United States. Although many foreigners who buy property in Paris are looking to maintain or create a decor in keeping with the history of the building, for those willing to move in a more contemporary direction there is much being designed to make the best use of small spaces with optimal effect.
There are ingenious ways of hiding the bed. French architects Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec offer a new one: turn it into a sculptural element, in this case a box hanging from the ceiling. From the other side, it is a short step up from the existing mezzanine. Nice idea if you have the ceiling height.
The bedroom becomes a hut in the middle of the flat. Suspended right in the center of the apartment, leaving untouched the floor and the circulations around, it divides the space, reversing the perception of the atmosphere in the apartment by making private what is usually not: the living room.
The parents of some lucky kid in the suburbs of Paris hired HO architects to create a private space for him in a disused garden shed in the backyard. The results are fantastic. The entire interior is built using birch plywood, on four levels, with dedicated areas for sleeping, living/study, and a bathroom. It resembles a boat interior. The architects call it “inhabitable furniture.”
It has been noted before that in Paris apartments are often quite small; they often don’t have room for a private kid’s bedroom. H20 Architects dealt with the problem of accommodating children with this structure that puts an elevated bed on top of a play and storage area.
 
It is a very clever construction, full of secret storage spaces, a desk, and a stair up to the bed. The specific blend generates a concentrated typology of spaces and situations in perpetual renewal. The new partition is porous creating steps, cavities and niches which suggests many possibilities for appropriation (climbing, hiding, drawing, etc…).

New Yorkers Jeff Ballinger and Mary Schiller recently began the first steps toward making their dream together a reality. After honeymooning in Paris, they knew they wanted their own vacation property in France. Now, they’ve moved out of their house and into a smaller condo in the Bronx, NY, and have begun their search for a pied-a-terre in Paris.

The Sarkozy Effect
http://www.homesworldwide.co.uk
France Defies the Recession with Safe and Stable Investments
New Data coming in for 2008 and 2009 shows that despite the difficult current climate, the French property market is continuing to strengthen under Sarkozy’s “real estate investor-friendly” Governance. Sarkozy’s laws which support broader home ownership have been a major driver. From the beginning of 2009, France has been able to offer its homeowners zero-interest loans of up to €30,000. The loi Bouvard pertaining to tourism property extends the original Loi Scellier (on unfurnished property) to sale and leasebacks so that residents can offset 25% of the cost of buying a residential property against their personal income tax up to a maximum of €75,000 on a €300,000 property.
These measures have helped to shore up the construction industry in France and keep both supply and demand steady when other property markets have crashed. Pierre & Vacances Property Investments (P&V), the European leader in sale and leaseback property investments, which defied international trends and sold €100 million worth of property in the last six months of 2008 sold a further €150 million in the first six weeks of the change of law in April.
Nick Leach, P&V Head of Business Development UK and Ireland says: “These laws have incentivized promoters to build again especially because the tax benefits apply for properties delivered between now and 2012.
“There has been a definite increase in supply and demand for French leaseback properties as confidence returns to re-boost the French property market ahead of other countries. Foreign investors benefit indirectly from the knowledge that France remains a safe and stable place to invest…”

PDV UPDATE!
Follow the Renovation Process of Le Palace des Vosges…
June 11, 2009
The boxes and cartons were piled high outside on the cobblestones of the courtyard today as the kitchen was being installed along with the appliances while the carpenters and masons were completing the tile work on the floors and in the bathrooms. The saw was making such a racket the upstairs neighbors couldn’t hear their television…but they were assured that by the afternoon, all would be calm again and the debris removed.
Until today, there wasn’t much to show on the exterior for all the work that goes into the reconstruction of the walls and ceilings in preparation for the finishings. As with all construction projects, the last 10% of the time spent on the project completes 90% of the exterior finish — so the bulk of time is spent on creating the foundation for the final decor and all that is finally enjoyed by its residents.
Within the next two to three weeks, we’ll be able to show a finished product, with occupancy scheduled for mid July! So, stay tuned…

Sale and Leasebacks: Were They – Are They – a Good Idea?
http://www.americanchronicle.com
FRENCH SALE and leaseback properties – where buyers sign a lease with a management company to completely rent and manage a property they have bought – once so popular with investors, have become something of a bete noire.
The collapse of management companies, like ski resort company Transmontagne last year, and more recently, ResidHotel, left many owners without rents to cover mortgage repayments and fearful of having to pay back the 19.6 VAT rebate given to them when they purchased. Unsurprisingly, this is scaring off some potential new buyers.
There are many questions you can ask about French sale and leaseback properties, but the big ones are: should new buyers be tempted to invest in developments being offered for sale? And if you have already bought but want or need to sell because of the recession, can you do so and are there penalties for selling? And is there anything that can help investors caught out when a management company collapses?
Sale and leaseback developments began as a French government device to promote newbuild accommodation in tourist areas: a 19.6 per cent VAT rebate was given as a tax incentive to buyers, who had to sign a nine or 11-year contract with the development’s management company to lease back the property to them to rent out. It is, effectively, a commercial lease.
In exchange, the management offered a specific return – usually 3- 5 per cent – and handled all the rentals and so on themselves. Most offered buyers the choice of using it for one or two weeks a year or more themselves. It appealed particularly to small investors, the kind of people who might never have considered buying overseas before.
Many agents selling leasebacks implied – or said outright – that the tax incentive meant that their developments were French government backed, or guaranteed – a word thrown around by overseas agents with abandon: in hindsight, it is now obvious that the tax incentive was of course no more a guarantee than a Section 23 tax incentive is in Ireland.
Others promised serious capital appreciation, clearly something that no one can guarantee…
All investments carry a risk, but in this case it was one that few buyers would have anticipated: that the management company with which buyers signed the leaseback deal might go out of business.
There are plenty of lucky buyers who invested in well- managed developments that have lived up to their promise: rents as promised lodged to their accounts regularly that may cover nearly all the cost of mortgage repayments. They are lucky because it’s probable that very few buyers checked out the track record of their management companies independently.
The tales of woe of those caught by companies that have gone out of business or into administration can be read on property blogs and make for unhappy reading. It is possible to survive this reverse: in some cases, a new management company takes over the business, although they may offer lower rents to owners. Some owners break
their lease (although thi
s must be done legally, as with all things in France) and sell or rent the property on their own. At the least, it creates a huge amount of hassle for these owners, and at worst, serious financial loss.

Nonetheless, agents for sale and leaseback properties stoutly maintain that in general, they are a sound, if unspectacular, investment. Where else, they ask, could you invest money and get a return of 3-5 per cent right now? Some also warn that offers of returns over 5 per cent are suspect, because they’re unlikely to be sustainable…

Talking Taxi
Excerpt Parler Paris Nouvellettre®
Wednesday , June 10, 2009

Hailing a New York taxi is relatively simple (except sometimes in clement weather), as they are abundant and easy to spot in all their yellow glory. The same thing goes for the London cab, whose classic “hackney carriage” form dots the landscape like a ants on a mission.
Just recently research conducted by Hotels.com among 1,400 travelers from the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark reported that London’s cabs ranked best in the world, for the second year running. New York ranked second, but sadly, Paris ranked 10th in the top ten taxi cities:

1. London 33%
2. New York 17%
3. Berlin 6%
4. Madrid 5%
5. Copenhagen 4%
6. Stockholm 3%
7. Bangkok 3%
8. Las Vegas 3%
9. Dublin 2%
10. Paris 2%

The research found that taxis are the most popular method of transportation to and from hotels and therefore for tourism, these first experiences are key to a favorable impression of the city. London cabbies are considered the friendliest, too with 16% of the vote, while Parisian drivers were considered the rudest in the world.
Yikes!…

Crillon Hotel, Paris Home of the Stars, is Put on the Block
http://business.timesonline.co.uk
American owners are offering the glitterati the chance to buy the Paris residence many have called home for the night
ROYALTY and leading lights from the worlds of politics and showbusiness have passed through its doors. Now the glitterati are being offered the chance to buy the Paris residence many have called home for the night.
The Hôtel de Crillon, one of the world’s landmark hotels, has been put up for sale by its American owner for more than €300m (£262m).
Starwood Capital, the investment firm that owns the Crillon, has instructed Eastdil Secured, a property adviser, to find a buyer. The venue, built in 1758 as a government building after being commissioned by Louis XV, is more likely to be sold to a high net-worth individual or a property investor rather than one of the large hotel chains.
Starwood has owned the Crillon, situated near the Champs Elysées on Place de la Concorde, since 2005. The company took on the hotel as part of its €2 billion acquisition of Taittinger’s hotel and champagne empire…

Property in France: C’est La Folie
By Michael Wright

Excerpt
http://www.telegraph.co.uk

Life remains blissfully simple in this old-fashioned corner of the universe
“Is that it?” asks Serge the mason, with what sounds suspiciously like a groan, after inserting yet another new window in yet another dusty stone wall. “Is everything finished now?”
Serge, bless him, has been working at La Folie, off and on, for almost five years; rebuilding doorways, creating stone steps and, above all, making various openings for new windows in the yard-thick walls of the ancient structure, to allow light into the old cow barn that has become a bedroom and bathroom, and into the former hay-store that is now my office. Daily life in rural France is steadily being converted and renovated, too, as we Anglais make our presence felt in the villages and towns. I only hope that the openings we are creating bring more light and fresh air than unwanted draughts and glare.
Despite the continuing influx from abroad, life remains blessedly simple in this old-fashioned, underpopulated corner of the universe. I worried about such peasant rusticity when I first invited Alice, a fully paid-up city chick, to come and join me at La Folie. But I am appreciating it all over again, now that fatherhood has me marching under its yoke like a captured barbarian…
