The school holidays have arrived, so pack your bags, and let’s go to France!

While we are there - why don’t we take in a few properties and see what we can get for our money?

Sounds reasonable? Well beware……

Bear in mind that July and August are the months that the French go on holidays. So apart from the busy roads and crowded hotels, camp sites, etc how does that affect viewing property?

Well French Estate Agents go on holiday in July and August (it is a French passion) and of course, Estate Agents are closed or running with skeleton staff. The problem is compounded as Vendors are often on holiday and they do NOT want people wandering around their property while they are away.

So buyer beware - be patient and enjoy the break in France.
