French private banks are shying away from some HNW international buyers
French banks have changed mortgage rules for certain nationalities, says Enness International's Enzo Marchetti as he reports from Monaco on the property finance landscape.
Originally from Corsica, Enzo has studied at the International University of Monaco for the last 4 years to achieve a strong degree in BBA + MSc Luxury Goods and Services. Enzo is also a confident public speaker who loves to negotiate, reaching many audiences as he is fluent in French, English and Italian, with a strong understanding of Russian. Before he joined Enness, Enzo was a racing driver.
