You are contemplating buying a 4 bedroom apartment in Lyon
(France). The property is on the market for €900,000. You currently
live in a one bedroom flat near Gare de Lyon in Paris. You own 40%
of the flat and have been repaying a mortgage on this property for
the past 10 years. The current market value of the one bedroom flat
is €600,000. The down payment for the Lyon apartment is 15% of
market value but you only have €100,000 in your bank account.
Discuss examples of switching real options that will enable you to
secure a mortgage on the Lyon apartment and move to Lyon, while
still repaying your other mortgage on the Paris flat. Discuss the
key value drivers of your real switching options.
