Investment Property in France
Buying Guide
Property Overview
Premier destination
France is one of the longest-standing and most popular places for UK residents to buy property overseas, and has always provided many of the idyllic images which are associated with moving to another country.
In fact, it could be argued that France, backed up by Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence, has been the premier destination to which UK buyers emigrate for some years now.
Steady, stable appreciation
Although the property market in France has never seen the kind of rampant price rises and investment speculation that has been displayed in other established overseas property markets, capital appreciation has been steady and impressive over the years.
On top of this, the market in France seems to have managed to insulate itself pretty well from the competition of emerging markets elsewhere in Europe and beyond.
A place to live
Much of this is due to the maturity of the property market for overseas buyers.
People who buy in France are less likely to be attracted by the idea of making huge gains in six months and then moving on somewhere else.
This means that most of the buyers are looking to live there or at least keep their property in France for a number of years, which lends the market strength through stability.
Gains to be made
This is not to say that buying property in France is boring, or even unprofitable.
Prices in some parts of France have risen by around 15-17% per year for the past couple of years, so those who bought early are looking at substantial gains whenever they come to sell.
