STRONG sterling and low property prices in France are persuading many British buyers to look again at owning property here. Estate agents, mortgage brokers and currency exchange specialists are all reporting a surge in interest in properties across the country.
Richard Kroon, of Houses on Internet, said that 2013 had been their best year, “with a 56% increase in sales” and enquiries from 45 different countries. There were many Australians, as “they get a lot for their money!”
He added: “The British are much more active in buying and are definitely back. Enquiries have doubled which means people are prepared to spend again – and that means they must be optimistic for the future but also want to take advantage of the low prices. I think the French market has hit the bottom and this is the time to buy.”
