About France
France is the world’s number one tourist destination, attracting more than 78million people per year. The size and heritage of France mean that there are innumerable attractions to visitors, whether they come in search of sunny beaches, world-class skiing, stunning countryside or historical interest. In any location, visitors enjoy the world-renowned French cuisine, wine and culture.
With all of these attractions, property in France is always in high demand and short supply: an obvious recipe for capital growth. While not the cheapest place to buy property, France is one of the safest bets around, with, for example, Cannes experiencing capital growth continually since 1836. Across the country, property prices have grown on average 15-18% over the past three years, and certain areas have experienced even faster growth, with property values in Sète, near Marseille, rising 33% in the past 12months.
Add to this the proximity of France to the UK, and the vast array of cheap flights available to various regions, and investing in French property becomes a very attractive prospect. Off Plan Property World work with a number of well-respected developers, mainly around France’s South coast, and can arrange for extremely competitive rates for its members. The South of France is one of the most popular destinations for retired UK residents, as well as being an idyllic region in which to own a holiday home, and an investment opportunity of great potential. |
