French property growth averages 9%

The French housing market continues to remain stable with property prices throughout 2010 showing a steady rise with growth on average of around 9% being reported by the Notaires de France. Property in France has traditionally remained stable even at the height of the credit crunch although with presidential elections looming in 2012 the feeling is growth in property prices will slow this year to around 3% to 5%.

France has always been a popular destination for commuters in the South of England with easy access from the ports to Normandy and Brittany, however, with budget airlines now flying from a number of regional UK airports to many destinations in France, getting to a holiday home for a long weekend couldn’t be easier, especially when flights can be less than some people pay for their taxi home on a Saturday night.
