Stability of French property markets is attracting investors

A large number of British property investors have been taking advantage of the recent spell of fine weather on the continent and purchasing real estate in France, it has been claimed.

According to the latest figures from house hunting portal My-French-House.com, the country has been enjoying a buoyant autumn in terms of transaction levels.

The organisation claims that both property investors and lifestyle buyers have been drawn to France over the past few months.

Indeed, the country accounts for more than 40 per cent of all mortgage enquiries for British buyers investing overseas, the firm says.

Patrick Joseph, of the company, believes that the popularity of France is a result of the stability offered by its property market compared to other European destinations.

"Buyers are looking for somewhere they can get away to easily for weekend breaks and holidays but they also want properties that have good rental potential and represent value for money and security for their investment," he said.
