Bargain Properties in France

Autumn tends to be an active time for foreign buyers in France. The holidaymakers are returning home and serious buyers are returning to the market.

But after years of rising prices, finding bargains is harder than ever.

Average Price rises: Last year 15%, Over five years 73%

So it is growing more difficult to find bargain properties - we recommend the following areas Champagne-Ardennes, Poitou-Charente, Pyrenees-Atlantiques, Limousin.

Typically the Brits are spending 150K to 250K euros on a French property. In the above areas your budget will go a long way and you will find a good selection of property well below 150K euros (about £100,000)!

France (after Spain) is the second most popular destination for property, and tends to be particularly popular among the over-40s.
