All About France |
and why the british property buyer loves it

Being one of the closest countries to the UK, France has always attracted the astute property investors in every sense of the term. Historically, culturally, and politically, France has always lured investors from all over the world with its prized natural possessions spread across the country.

The nation better known as the love capital of the world has several things in its favour, which makes it a much-desired real estate investment destination in the world. As they say, there’s something about Paris that keeps you hooked on to the nation’s capital.

As one of the most sought after destination for commercial and industrial powerhouses, France has always remained the best bet for investment in business properties. And since Paris is also one of the hottest fashion destinations of the world, property in the capital city most definitely commands a premium.

Paris has become out of bounds for the average property investor according to experts but if this leaves you wondering whether you can afford a property in Paris, think again.

Indeed, according to real estate experts, investors can still lay a claim on the French capital property market by buying on the city outskirts where comfy apartments in Ile De France can be picked up for a little over £40K.

Since the property market in France has been affected by the global slowdown in general an astute property investor can still pick up a bargain property be it in the capital city of Paris or one of the treny seaside resorts on the French Riviera.

Though France attracts investments from all across the world, it still holds a special place of pride among the British property buyer. Here are some of the reasons for this favourable trend –

• Both the country’s are founding members of EU and enjoy considerable mutual goodwill among the people.
• Regular flights of low cost airlines between the two countries makes the countries easily accessible.

What is a French Leaseback? I hear you say. Well it's a fairly straightforward way to generate guaranteed regular income over a set period of time and it is backed by the French Government.

That's right - you can buy a property and hand it over to a French property management company who will manage the property and return to you a set % of rental yield over a period of anything up to 15 years. This is an ideal way to enter the French property market with very little risk.
