Skip to content Do you own property on the Île de Ré and wish to remain there as long as possible, without the burden of renovations or future age-related expenses? A life annuity sale offers the perfect solution: stay in your home while receiving a lump sum payment and a regular income supplement. Henault Immobilier will guide you through every step, with the support of a group specializing in life annuities.
A life annuity is a real estate sale in which the price is not paid in a single lump sum, but in the form of a capital payment made upon signing (the bunch) and a annuity paid to the seller until the end of his life. The buyer becomes the owner upon signing the deed, but generally only has full use of the property upon the seller's departure (occupied life annuity).
This is an increasingly popular solution for aging well at home : it transforms real estate assets into income, without having to move.
The most common scenario. The seller continues to live in the property until the end of their life (right of use and habitation). The price is reduced by the value of this occupancy, which explains the lower initial payment and annuity.
The buyer can take possession of the property immediately (live in it or rent it out) upon signing. This is less common and concerns sellers who no longer occupy the property.
An intermediate formula, suitable for certain specific situations. In all cases, the buyer becomes the owner as soon as the deed of sale is signed.
On an island where land is scarce and in high demand, life annuities offer particular advantages:
Continue to enjoy your home, your village and the island of Ré, without having to move or change your habits.
The bouquet, paid upon signing, can be used to help one's children during one's lifetime or to finance one's own projects according to needs.
The annuity, paid monthly or quarterly, is reviewed annually and benefits from tax allowances.
According to the terms of the contract, certain heavy work and expenses can be transferred to the buyer, thus easing your budget.
Properties located on the island of Ré attract strong demand, including for life annuities, which secures and facilitates your project.
Organize the transfer of your assets during your lifetime, in complete transparency, and spare your loved ones the hassle of managing a sale afterwards.
A life annuity is also a investment strategy : acquire a property on the island of Ré by spreading out the payment, without necessarily resorting to a traditional bank loan, while building up assets in one of the most sought-after markets on the Atlantic coast.

Are you considering buying or selling a property on the Île de Ré through a life annuity? Let's talk. Our consultation is free, without obligation, and confidential.
annuitant : the seller of the property in a life annuity (the one who receives the annuity).
Debtor : the purchaser of the property (the one who pays the annuity).
Bunch : the portion of the price paid in cash by the buyer on the day of signing the authentic deed.
Life annuity : the regular income paid by the buyer to the seller until the end of their life. Paid monthly or quarterly as agreed between the parties, reviewed annually, it benefits from tax allowances.
The initial payment is the portion of the price paid in cash by the buyer on the day the deed is signed. The remainder of the price is paid as a life annuity until the seller's death.
Yes, that's the principle of the occupied life annuity, the most common: the seller retains the right to live in their home until the end of their life, while receiving a capital sum and an annuity.
The annuity is subject to tax, but benefits from allowances that increase with the annuitant's age at the time of sale. A personalized study allows for a precise assessment of its impact.
In an occupied life annuity, the seller continues to live in the property; the buyer only gains possession upon their departure. In a vacant life annuity, the buyer can dispose of the property (live in it or rent it out) immediately upon signing.
The allocation of responsibilities is stipulated in the deed of sale. Generally, the seller who occupies the property retains responsibility for routine maintenance and repairs, while major repairs may fall to the buyer. Each contract is tailored to the specific circumstances.
The value depends on the property price, the seller's age, and the type of life annuity. Henault Immobilier conducts a free, personalized life annuity assessment, supported by a specialized team.
