France has always been a favourite amongst overseas property purchasers. Pretty villages, award-winning beaches and chateaux continue to draw homebuyers to France, as do top ski-resorts and culture-crammed cities, not to mention that overriding sense of natural chic and sophistication that foreign visitors always find so enticing.
In fact, over the past five years the number of British registered home owners who have taken up residence in France has risen by a staggering 50%. Meanwhile, five times this amount of properties have been purchased as holiday homes by the British, reflecting an undying interest in France as a sought after property location.
France’s proximity to the UK and the rest of Europe is a major factor influencing the success of the property market, allowing homebuyers to visit regularly and cost-effectively, while taking advantage of the slower pace of life, lower crime rates and the continental culture. These have been main ingredients to France’s recipe for success in the eyes of many buyers. With French property prices lower than in many other countries, an extremely strong rental market and certain tax advantages, French property purchase continues to be a highly popular option amongst many worldwide investors.
