Britons ‘to make up fifth of those buying property overseas in France’
19 September 2009
Britons have been tipped to make up 20 per cent of overseas buyers purchasing properties in France during 2009.
This prediction has come from the largest finance lender to overseas buyers investing in property in the country, BNP Paribas, the Times reports.
In a feature on the subject of converted vineyards, the paper suggested that the kind of properties UK buyers may go for would be those like the residences for sale on the Domaine de Lavagnac estate in the Languedoc region.
The estate will feature golf and tennis facilities, plus amenities such as shops, with 500 villas and apartments for sale ranging in price from €395,000 (£340,830) to €1.6 million.
Such residences may be of interest to those attracted by the lifestyle prospects of the region.
