Proximity to the UK and familiarity with the language have made French property one of the most popular choices for British property buyers over the years. The rural lifestyle offered by owning a property in France in regions like Normandy, Provence and Dordogne have a great attraction for UK property buyers, though the French property market is incredibly diverse and has much to offer most prospective property investors.
French properties in the skiing areas has become a popular investment option. The country's Alpine resorts are among the world's most-visited winter sports destinations, easily accessible and providing first-class facilities. The cost to buy property in France is high in the very best skiing areas, though shopping around in the neighbouring resorts often sees similar properties with more affordable price tags.The Cote d'Azur is another location for luxury French properties. Names like Cannes, Nice and Antibes embody the opulence of the French Riviera, and buying property for sale in France on the Cote d'Azur with a sea view will never be cheap. However, buyers of French property on a budget can benefit from a similar climate at a fraction of the price further east on the Mediterranean coastline by buying French property in the Languedoc Roussillion region.
Paris is one of the world's most visited capitals and though buying Paris property is not cheap, in common with other cities there are districts that are still "up-and-coming" where Paris property prices have yet to catch up with the established quarters.Under the "leaseback" scheme, investors buying new-build houses for sale in France for the long term will receive a guaranteed rental return and a refund of VAT on the cost of their home. The scheme is offered on a wide range of new French property.The Homes Overseas Guide to Buying Property in France has advice on the legal and financial aspects of buying a house in France plus overviews and information on the buying process of French property.Some information contained herein may have changed since it was first published. Homes Overseas strongly advises you to seek current legal and/or financial advise from a qualified professional.
