A new report from Leggett International Real Estate shows that there are over 4,000 chateaux for sale across France and that both domestic and overseas buyers are taking advantage.
Property prices in France have fallen over the last 18 months and buyers (particularly from the UK and USA) are now snapping up some real bargains. Perhaps inspired by the TV shows they are undaunted by any renovations needed and are keen to buy a slice of French history. The report highlights:
-
there are 4,347 chateaux for sale across France, with 2,560 under 1m€.
-
strong demand for lower priced chateaux & heritage property.
-
around half of the chateaux for sale have been on the market for under 6 months.
-
Leggett has chateaux for sale from just 150,000€.
-
practical advice from a Leggett agent who bought a chateau with her family.
-
essential tips from a specialist chartered surveyor.
-
info on grants and financial considerations from a specialist chartered accountant.
-
which state organisations to contact if you are interested in buying a heritage property.
The report is being launched to coincide with the Journées Européenes de Patrimoine on 21-22nd September, when 27 EEC countries open the doors of their historic buildings to the public.
