France is the second most popular location for British people buying property abroad.
According to a French heritage site “Patrimonie” out of every 10 foreigners who buy
property in France, 6 of them are British. Why is
France property so popular with people from the UK?
There are many reasons why Brits love to buy property in France, whether it is for a permanent move or a holiday home. Here are some of the major motivations:
To Slow Down
There are many gorgeous historic rural properties in France where British homebuyers can relax and enjoy a simpler pace of life in the peaceful French countryside. Plant a vegetable garden, buy food from the local market, and invite your neighbours over for a home cooked meal!
To Get Great Value
Some places in France, such as the South Coast and Paris, are very pricey but there are still many regions that offer fantastic value for money. Most properties in France are much cheaper compared to similar properties in the UK.
To Enjoy the Great Outdoors
Clear running rivers, snow-capped mountains, ancient ruins, rugged coastlines, calm lakes, and much more can be discovered if you venture into the wilderness that surrounds your
real estate in France.
To Eat and Drink
Of course a major draw for living in France is being able to enjoy delicious French cuisine and wine whenever you desire. There is a reason that this country is famous all over the world for these delicacies!
To Get Some Sunshine
We all know that living in the dreary and rainy climate of the UK can make you go a bit crazy after a while. However, there are some incredibly gorgeous locations in Southern France which receive lots of sunshine and enjoy a warm Mediterranean climate all year round!
To Enjoy the Culture
It can be truly exciting and make you feel alive to learn a new language, have a different experience, and make new friends in a foreign country.
To Escape the Crowds
There are 395 people per square kilometre in the UK, but there are only 111 in France. Rather than being cramped into a large UK city, many people want to enjoy the fresh air and wide open spaces that are available when living in a France property.
Because it’s Not Too Far Away
Any France property will not be more than a couple hours on an airplane, or a one day drive from the UK. This means that even if you move permanently to your new home, you can easily visit friends and family back home and they can come see you.
Because it reminds them of how the UK used to be
With rolling hillsides, large country manors, friendly local villages and more, it is amazing how much some regions of France resemble the UK of times gone by.
These are just a few of the reasons why so many British people are interested in buying real estate in France!
