France is widely acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful countries in the World, offering a much more relaxed lifestyle than any other country. Life in general is much cheaper, the weather is nice and moderate, food is tastier and healthier and the health system is ranked as one of the highest in the world.
Over the last decade or so, buying property in France has been a very popular investment alternative for many people, be it for a permanent move, a secondary home, a long-term or holiday let. Not only are French property prices still significantly cheaper than in the UK or in other E.U. territories, but the prospect of living the "French Way of Life" has also been an important deciding factor. It is therefore not a surprise that British buyers purchased an estimated in 40,000 French properties every year. Today, with the still hesitant stock exchange market and uncertainty of pension related schemes, old-fashioned bricks and mortar seem to be the families' and investors' favourite choice.
Perhaps you are looking for a new life for your family, a quiet and beautiful place to retire, new challenges for your career or business opportunities. France has all of that and much more.
As one of Europe's largest countries, a thousand kilometres from north to south and from west to east, it caters for all individual tastes.
Families who have made the move tell us of a feeling of space, a sense of community, a friendly atmosphere, value for money, warmer weather, a great motorway network and that's without mentioning the unique history and traditions, culture and style, individual regional characteristics, the incredible variety of places, landscapes, beaches, mountains and hills, leisure and sporting activities, cheeses and wines of all sorts ...
With an ever-increasing number of cheap flights, destinations and airlines, France is one of the cheapest, quickest and easiest destinations to get to from the UK and other EU countries. Fast trains, Eurostar, shuttles and ferries are other fast and cost effective ways to get to this fantastic country.
You must, however, be aware that the conveyancing process will be very different to that of your home country. It is very important that you research and seriously consider the legal, tax and inheritance issues in order to avoid any surprises at a later stage. You will also have to deal with new words, terms and perhaps measurements, as well as think about insurance policies for your home, loan, health or car, and calculate in a different currency than your own.
