- [Holiday Highs - French Property News](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/holiday-highs-french-property-news/): France is the most- visited country in the world, which is already a good argument for investing in property with the potential to appeal to the holiday rental market as well as somewhere to be used as
a holiday home. In addition, around 80% of French tourists stay within their own country so, in terms of rental demand, the market is large and varied. Buying a house in France and capitalising on the buoyant holiday rental market is a growing trend for property investors.
- [The best ski resorts in the French Pyrénées](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/the-best-ski-resorts-in-the-french-pyrenees/): Mention the Pyrénées to most international skiers, and their mental check list will look something like this; cheap Spanish ski resorts; lack of challenging slopes; bargain basement skiing; first-time skiers; only for those on a very tight budget. Ask them to name a couple of ski resorts in the French Pyrénées and their brows furrow as they try to remember whether Andorra qualifies, and then draw a complete blank.
- [Why buy a property in the Occitanie region?](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/why-buy-a-property-in-the-occitanie-region/): Why choose the Occitanie region? When house hunting, most people start with a mental (or actual) checklist which, when all ticked would add up to their dream location. The list might go something like this; beautiful countryside; elegant towns; pretty villages; great markets; vibrant city life; fantastic restaurants; easy access to skiing and beaches; numerous sports and activities on the doorstep; thriving communities; good schools; friendly people and sunshine. In most parts of the world, this would be an impossible and unrealistic wish-list but there is a part of France that does tick all of these boxes and it is […]
- [French Property News - Live & Let Live](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/french-property-news-live-let-live/): The little known region of the Ariège has been firmly put on the property radar thanks to Covid and the rush to find rural retreats according to this article in the June edition of French Property News:
- [Demand for rural French property continues to rise leading to an unprecedented lack of houses for sale in the French countryside](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/demand-for-rural-french-property-continues-to-rise/): The French rural property market is continuing its upwards trajectory which began this time last year in the middle of the pandemic. In 2020, despite Covid and lockdowns, estate agents in France sold a record number of houses in the French countryside and demand for rural French property continues to rise. Unprecedented lack of rural property for sale This initially looked as if it was simply a short-term, knee-jerk reaction to the Covid crisis but, if anything, the trend appears to be accelerating this year. Agents all over are France complaining of a huge demand from buyers for properties in […]
- [Toulouse to get TGV fast train to Paris](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/toulouse-to-get-tgv-fast-train-to-paris/): French Prime Minister, Jean Castex, announced last week that the long-promised TGV fast train link between Toulouse and Paris will be in service within 10 years. Work has been brought forward to start in 2024, five years ahead of schedule (and after 40 years of discussion). It means that the train journey from Toulouse to the centre of Paris will take just 3 hours and 10 minutes (it is currently 4h30). Toulouse wins for quality of life Toulouse is often cited as one of the best cities to live in France for quality of life so. Once connected by a […]

- [Top ten property features wish-list](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/top-ten-property-features-wish-list/): I was just reading the results of a survey where buyers were asked to list their top ten wish-list requirements for their dream house, and it struck me how achievable in France most of these ‘dreams’ actually are and not just for those with the largest budgets. Here’s the list: 1. Barns for Conversion This one is certainly immensely achievable in many rural regions of France and It is also much easier to get planning permission to convert a barn here than it is in many parts of the world, whether that be for an office, studio or guest accommodation. […]
- [Can I still buy a house and move to France permenantly now the UK has left the EU?](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/can-i-still-buy-a-house-and-move-to-france-permenantly-now-the-uk-has-left-the-eu/): Life has of course become more complicated for British buyers (and those with a UK passport) in France since Brexit for those of us living in France and those of us wishing to move to France and live here permanently. But it is still entirely possible, there is just a bit more paperwork and a few more hoops to jump through than previously was the case. You still have every right to buy a property in France after 2021; the difference now being that, since January 1st this year, British buyers are now non-EU citizens which means that for anyone […]
- [Buying advice when looking for a property in France](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/buying-advice-when-looking-for-a-property-in-france/): Buying a house is always a risky and stressful process and buying in a foreign country magnifies this risk and stress hugely. The property buying process in France, however, is tightly regulated and it is probably one of the safest places in the world that you can choose to buy, as long as you are aware of the few issues and possible problems which can arise before and during the buying process. In the past in France, it has only been the seller who has been represented in the house selling and buying process while the buyer has traditionally had […]

- [The Outlook for the French Property Market in 2021](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/the-outlook-for-the-french-property-market-in-2021/): What an extraordinary year this has been and like most business sectors, Covid hit the French property market very hard with activity virtually at zero during the first lockdown in the Spring. The official French statistics body, INSEE, has reported that in the middle of ‘confinement’, there was a complete slump in French property transactions with virtually no sales being recorded between March and May 2020, mainly because most estate agencies and Notaire’s offices were closed. This was in sharp contrast to the beginning of 2020 when the market had been growing steadily year on year for five years straight. […]
- [Does Gazumping Happen in France?](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/does-gazumping-happen-in-france/): In London the conversation at social gatherings inevitably turns to house hunting frustrations. There’s always someone drowning their sorrows after just having been outbid by another buyer at the last minute. No surprise that the English adopted the satisfyingly resonant Yiddish expression gezumph to name the devastating experience of having your dream property snatched away by a competitor right before exchange of contracts. In England and Wales this practice is possible because there’s no binding sales agreement until actual exchange of contracts. Also, agents are required to continue passing on all other offers after the vendor already has accepted an […]
- [How to Avoid Buying the Wrong House in France](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/avoid-buying-wrong-house-france/): House hunting is an emotional experience. There’s nothing wrong with listening to your instincts, as long as you know how to avoid buying the wrong house in France. Keep in mind that the moment you start searching, all your fears, longings and romantic notions about the world kick in. Emotions can easily get the upper hand and the majority of house buying decisions is made on first impressions alone. Gut instinct almost ruined the dream of owning a house in France for Anna and Giles* from London, a lovely couple that had been looking to buy in Provence for several […]
- [South Midi-Pyrenees Mountain Barn Conversion](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/south-midi-pyrenees-barn-conversion/): Sometimes I wonder how anyone manages to buy a house in this region without using a property finder (buyer’s agent). I’ve lived and worked here for many years, so know the agencies and the region inside out and still the process of finding and getting to view the right property can be like trying to get blood out of a stone. A recent search in the foothills of the Pyrenees for a young Anglo-Australian couple illustrates this well. One of the local agents was advertising a new property that looked very interesting, so I went to speak to him about […]
- [French Property Search - Problem Properties](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/french-property-purchase-problem-properties/): In a buyer’s market, house hunters have the luxury of being picky. Most buyers in France currently don’t really want to take on renovation projects and as soon as they find something negative about a house they skip it and continue the search for their dream house. Although I agree that certain problems should always be avoided, others could in fact be a blessing in disguise – as long as you know exactly what you’re doing or have a local property expert on your side! True Deal Breakers Problems that always should be deal breakers are those things that you […]
- [Best place to buy an investment property in the French Pyrenees](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/best-place-to-buy-an-investment-property-in-the-french-pyrenees/): Where else but in France can you enjoy city elegance and superb skiing side by side? It would be hard to find a better example of such dual luxury than in the beautiful Pyrenees town of Bagnères de Luchon. You can enjoy coffee on the sunny terrace of a chic French café, then jump into a cable car and be whisked up the mountain in just eight minutes. As you can imagine, this is one of my favourite places to track down property for clients and spend days off en famille. Bagnères de Luchon (known also as Luchon) is an […]
- [Where to Buy in the Southern Dordogne?](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/buy-southern-dordogne/): Most househunters’ ideas of a holiday bolt hole or permanent home in this sought-after part of France are very similar. No matter the budget. Almost all clients dream of lots of outside space and an idyllic countryside location with views. Authentic stone, period character, space, and light all tend to be on the agenda as well. And finally, proximity to a town or village with shops and other facilities. An overview of the most sought after towns: Sarlat Sarlat-la-Caneda is known simply as “Sarlat” and is the capital of the Perigord Noir. Built around a Benedictine abbey during the Middle […]

- [Fees](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/fees/): Fees Buyers Agent Fees Each buyer’s agent or property finder in the TFPF network has their own fee structure (“Commission”) Most property finder fee structures depend on how the listing agencies in their region operate. However, in all cases a commission is only payable once you’ve purchased a property, at the signing of the final transfer deed (acte authentique). In some areas of France, real estate listing agents are happy to share their commission with buyer’s agents, which means that the buyer does not need to pay any additional fee other than the fee already included in the asking price […]

- [Why](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/why/): Why use a Property Finder? One Agent to Search Hiring a member of the TFPF network of bilingual buyer’s agents means that throughout the process you have your own property expert with access to 100% of the market, including private sales and confidential (off-market) listings. One Agent for Your Entire Search This is both the most practical and cost-effective solution, because in France: – There is no central or multi-listing system where all properties can be accessed by all agents. – There is a dizzying number of agencies, each with their own portfolio. – Prices of properties sold are not […]
- [Buying in France](https://thefrenchpropertyfinders.com/buying-in-france/): Buying in France Buying a Property Property hunting in any country is a full-time job that requires stamina, lots of determination and market expertise. That is why in many countries house hunters engage their own buyer’s agent, also known as home finder or search agent. The French property market has its own peculiarities that can make the search and acquisition process particularly frustrating and difficult. The profession of property search agent (chasseur immobilier, property finder or buyer’s agent) therefore emerged about 15 years ago and is now well established in France. What makes the French property market so different? What’s the difference? The […]
