Are you looking to buy property abroad? Do you want to buy, sell or even invest in property abroad? Is France on your list? If so, then read this article. This article will provide with a guide on how to find homes for sale in France.

France

Why France? France is located in South Western Europe bordered with Germany and Spain. With 81.9 million foreign tourists in 2007, France is ranked as the first tourist destination in the world, in front of Spain (58.5 million in 2006) and the United States (51.1 million in 2006). France is a highly-considered tourist resort and properties in France have therefore become increasingly popular. This has encouraged the prices of French property to rocket. Buying houses in France can become a tiring experience, especially if you do not know where to start looking.

Property guide

Houses in France Whether you are looking for a villa, château, or a luxury home for sale, there are many ways that you can use to find the perfect property. First of all, there are many internet websites that you can use in order to search for the latest property listings and market value properties. Familiarise yourself with the French property market and purchase procedure before you decide to take on such a responsibility. Buying process The buying process in France is very similar to that of the United Kingdom and is very easy for residents of the UK to purchase property in France as both countries are members of the European Union. However, always familiarise yourself with the buying process through the internet, or through a realtor and solicitor. There may be discrepancies in tax and stamp duty. Yet, the process is very similar from the initial offer to the exchange of ownership and keys. Where to look As mentioned earlier, the best place to find French property is either on the internet or to pop in to your local estate agency who can advise you in the right direction of a realtor specialising in French property. There are many online estate agencies which have the latest property listings in France, such as Aboutfrenchproperty.com and Francepropertyshop.com. Additionally, they display the latest property values. Always seek professional advise.
