Why should I buy property in France?
With different regions offering climates to suit everybody, outstanding natural beauty, world-famous food and wine, lower cost of living and a slower pace of life, France really does have it all.
And you needn't feel guitly about making the move, you can share the health, wealth and lifestyle benefits with your family and friends - France will enrich their lives as well as your own.
An increasing number of families are re-locating completely rather than just buying holiday homes, they frequently cite the excellent health service and education system as reasons.
With regular charter and daily scheduled flights from the UK to so many French destinations, France is becoming more and more accessible every day - an increasing number of people even commute!
If you don't fancy the commute and you don't have transferable skills to slot into the French jobs market, you can even make your new location work for you - as a business.
France is classic holiday country and if you buy or convert property to provide Bed and Breakfast or gîte accommodation in the right location, your new home can even pay for itself - while you get on with the serious business of enjoying your new life in the sun!

French Property is getting cheaper !
It's official - it's a buyers' market! The average price of a property in France fell by 0.6% in November say the French estate agents' association FNAIM.
The fall is part of a slowing trend, while average property prices rose by 15% in 2004 they have only risen by 7.3% in the current year to November.
French property is still attractive to investors but a slowing market will keep prices reasonable and ensure that the French property ladder is still within reach of the average Brit!
