Life annuity purchases are a form of real estate transaction increasingly adopted by buyers and sellers in France. How does a life annuity sale work? The buyer, called the "débirentier," acquires a property by paying a life annuity to the seller, called the "crédirentier," throughout the seller's lifetime. This sale can include a "bouquet," which is an initial payment made at the signing of the contract.

• For the buyer, a life annuity offers the advantage of purchasing a property at a reduced initial cost and spreading payments over time, while potentially benefiting from a capital gain. Additionally, the property is often bought below market value, as it remains occupied by the seller in the case of an occupied life annuity, but there are also free life annuity sales.
• For the seller, a life annuity provides the security of a regular income for life, allowing them to supplement a retirement pension or finance personal needs, for example. Moreover, the seller continues to enjoy their home if it is an occupied life annuity purchase. The seller thus maintains their living environment without worrying about future financial uncertainties thanks to the life annuity, which is why this type of real estate transaction is a win-win choice.
