Find your property

Find your property by seoguru

France offers an enormous variety of landscapes, climate, lifestyle, property, prices and access. Before you start searching for French property you really need to research everything the country has to offer and decide where you want to buy. The danger of not doing the research is that you may find yourself, like many a house hunter I have met over the years, spending 3 months each year in a camper van touring France, going round and round, getting more and more confused as prices continue to go up and up.



I remember the story told to me by some clients concerning another client (Mr. Smith) whom I had worked with. I had spent two days with Mr. Smith who had insisted on videoing every property I showed him. At the end of the two days he had found nothing suitable. My next clients, who happened to be on the same campsite as Mr. Smith, told me that he had spent 8 weeks looking for property that year and went back every evening to add his new finds to his video collection which he then offered to show anyone on the campsite who might be interested. This was his third year of doing this and he had images of 362 properties in his collection. I wondered whether he would ever find anything that was right for him.



Three years later, quite by chance, I heard that Mr. Smith had finally found the right property, a small house in the middle of a field. Having bought it, he then had his planning permission turned down to take any services to it! He had found his ideal home but could never live in it!



What further proof could there be that years of searching do not necessarily bring the results you may want. Talking to the experts is likely to be much more fruitful.



You can research on the web, buy books and magazines, watch television, talk to friends and make some targeted visits to possible areas. However, it all takes time and money and in a property market, which has experienced price increases in excess of 20% in the last 2 years and predicted growth for 2006 of more than 10%, any delay on making the decision about an area can be costly.



Be aware that many television programmes currently being shown were filmed 5 years or more ago. Prices described on these programmes are hopelessly out of date. Prices generally in France have doubled in this time period.



Our highly experienced, trained sales advisers at VEF are on hand on the telephone, in our offices and at exhibitions to give you all the advice you need. Each of them has lived in France, has frequent training visits to different regions and is passionate about everything the country has to offer. They know the country, its properties and their prices. If you can tell them the type of lifestyle you are looking for, the purpose of the purchase and the budget they will be able to tell you which area or areas are suitable for you. You can then focus your research on just those areas, saving time and money.
