About this podcast
The Alpine Property Podcast is for anyone thinking of buying a ski property in the French Alps, whether that’s a ski in ski out apartment, a family chalet or a second home to enjoy in winter and summer.
Your hosts are Steve Thomas and Lesley Thomas, the husband and wife team behind Alpine Property Investments, helping clients to find their dream property in the mountains of France and Switzerland since 2006.
The aim of this podcast is to share with you everything to do with purchasing a ski property, including the where, what, why and how to buy, with real insider information that comes from knowing the mountains as intimately as we do.
Episodes cover ski resorts across the French and Swiss Alps, from Tignes, Méribel and Alpe d’Huez to Les Sybelles, Samoëns and Serre Chevalier, along with the French buying process, legal and VAT questions, renting out your property and interviews with owners.
To us, this is not just a business, but a real demonstration of helping clients invest in a lifestyle. We want this podcast to be your go-to place for all things buying and owning a ski property.
Winter and summer episodes are released fortnightly, with occasional bonus episodes. Subscribe to our newsletter www.alpinepropertyinvestments.co.uk/newsletter-signup/ to learn more!
