British buyers tempted by French new-builds

A new generation of British property investors have become interested in buying French real estate, it has been claimed.

The increased availability of new-build homes in the country has caught the attention of investors, with many looking to take advantage of the low cost, minimum maintenance buying opportunities.

"A shortage of homes throughout France has seen increased house building activity and the fact that they are much cheaper than resale properties with mortgages easier to obtain means there is a lot of interest," said Patrick Joseph, of French property website My-French-House.com.

"There are some fantastic opportunities to be had in the new build sector, all ready to move into and perfect for families looking for a second home within easy reach of the UK."

Furthermore, those looking to buy property in France will be encouraged by the expert's belief that the real estate market in the country is buoyant, thanks to low mortgage rates and good availability.
