Editor: Guest post from 1st-for-french-property.co.uk
France is still one of the most popular locations for a french property whether it be a re-location, holiday home or investment property. The euro currency may be strong but the French lifestyle, landscapes, weather and gastronomy remain a strong pull for foreigners and the love affair with France continues in 2009.
So two big considerations are “Where to look” and “What type of property”? France is a very big country where weather and landscapes vary enormously. Are you looking for a new property or renovation?
What to consider & Where to look
For many people investing in a rental property in France, the south is a preferable option with its endless sunny days and long, sandy beaches attracting tourists from across the globe. Areas which are recommended are Languedoc-Roussillon, Normandy and Brittany which have hotspots where visitors head to all year round regardless of season.
Conversions
Converting an old derelict barn into the perfect home is one of the most interesting challenges, and is guaranteed to test the limits of perseverance. On the other hand, French barns for renovation are plentiful, the lifestyle in France is more appealing, and with proper planning will provide a home for all the family not obtainable in the UK for the same price.
Buying the right property will make the renovation go so much more smoothly. Rebuilding a barn can be a difficult and time consuming process and if it has started to deteriorate from exposure to the elements then expect the cost of renovation to up considerably.
Farms
Many people dream of living on a French farm surrounded by land on which they can work, relax or graze animals.
And despite the strong emphasis which the French put on the importance of agriculture, there are still hundreds of French farms for sale, many of which are in disrepair and need work.
Ministers are said to be keen to try to recruit young farmers to take up some of these buildings including those from the UK and beyond.
France is divided up into regions and then each region is subdivided into departments. If you know where you want to buy then choose the department of interest. 1st for French Property has a list of all departments and describes each area to help narrow your search. List of departments and property by department: French Departments. Bonne Voyage!
