Gite Holiday France - Why not buy a gite?

Buying a property in France, whether an income generating self catering holiday gite or a property to live in on a more permanent basis, is a very popular pastime right now for Brits. Recent press reports put the total of Brits who have bought a French property at half a million... and rising!

Not just Brits are buying though... with the shock downturn in value of stocks and shares on the Bourse, many French are now rediscovering their own countryside and are begining to compete with Brits and other nationalities, for property outside the big cities of France. Increased competition and a shortage of suitable property in some areas, has meant property price rises in many départements, although not yet on the same scale as in the UK.

The first port of call for most wishing to buy property in France will be an estate agent, in the region of their choice. As each and every département gite holiday guide is published in this Gite Holiday France website, we will list estate agents that you can contact to send you details of property as it comes on to the market. In addition, Britsnet are presently building a French property estate agent directory covering the whole of France, which you will be able to access shortly. In the meantime, to view details of estate agents in the Lot, South West France, please click this link.

If you have the money to buy and renovate in France outright, all well and good. But if you need to finance your French property venture, how best to go about it?

Britsnet have published a website dedicated to the purchase of French property using a mortgage or by using a loan secured on your UK property. You can launch a new window to access this Britsnet finance website by clicking this link.
