Buy-to-let in France

If you have a holiday home in France and don’t make use of it all year round, you might be able to profit from the short-term holiday rental market. Or, if you are interested in purchasing real estate in France as an investment, you might benefit further from long-term rentals or even corporate lets.

Plenty of potential in French property for all types of buyers

Property price rises in the UK in the last 10 years, compared to rises in France, also means that there is now even more reason for us to cash in at home and buy in France where price differences are now so pronounced.

It is estimated that over half a million British families own a second home in France and that more than 100,000 families have made the permanent move to France. Among the reasons many people often give for relocating to France are:

The excellent climate in France.
Spend more time outdoors in the French countryside.
Quality yet inexpensive French wine.
The slower pace of life in France.
In general, France has stronger, more unified communities.
France has better, more natural food.
There is a less commercial atmosphere in French towns and cities.

The last few years has seen an increase in the number of Brits wishing to take advantage of French culture. The number of registered British home owners in France has risen by a staggering 50% in the last five years. France is not only attracting young couples wanting to own a house outright and looking to work in France, but also middle-aged couples wishing to take early retirement. Those already retired go to France where they can buy something a lot cheaper while capitalising on their equity holding in the UK.

Of course, the French lifestyle, the food, the climate and the history of the country also play a big part in the decision to buy a property in France.

There are no restrictions on foreign buyers in France, and property in France is seen as a great investment, therefore demand is high. In some areas this has led to an explosion of newbuild developments and these offer the property investor great short-term price gain potential because by buying off-plan a buyer secures at today's prices, pays in instalments and can then sell on at a gain as soon as the property is completed.

The dream of owning a house in France is one that many share and one that many more are realising. Whatever area you decide on for your property investment in France, Buy Abroad can offer you a wide choice at a price to suit your budget.
