Company reports busiest month of year for French property

French property firm VEF has reported that October has been its busiest month this year for property sales.

Discussing the events of this month, the company said that the areas recording the most sales were Charente and the Hautes-Alpes in Provence.

It said the Charente office has been seeing a 60 per cent rise in sales from a year earlier, a situation attributed to the increased accessibility of the area including more low-cost flights into Angouleme airport.

The firm also stated that prices in this region have now levelled out and offer "exceedingly good value for money", while another region offering good prices is the Haute-Provence area, where the agency has recently sold a four-bed chalet for EUR300,000 (GBP236,000).

Co-founders of French real estate company home-hunts.com Francois Xavier de Vial told French property news earlier this month: "Contrary to what some people think, now is still a good time to buy French property."
