Top tips for buying a French property

Buying a home in France can be an intimidating process but following some easy steps will have you relaxing in your chateaux or Parisian apartment in no time.

One of the most important tips when buying property in France is to set yourself a realistic budget and stick to it.

Although viewing stunning properties which cost the earth can be tempting, it is always better to stick at looking for properties at or below your price range.

Investors would also do well to pick an estate agent wisely and keep in mind that many agents in France are happy to conduct their affairs in English. Picking a French-speaking one may result in confusion or aggravation if you are not fluent in the language yourself.

It is also advisable to check that your agent is a member of a regulated professional association such as FNAIM, SNPI or UNPI.

The internet is one of the best ways to find that dream home and it saves time and money on repeatedly crossing the English Channel.

Another good tip is to try to head town to an overseas property exhibition which is being held in the UK to get an idea of the sort of house you may buy and make some useful contacts.
