Talk of green shoots in the UK economy and predictions that the recession might soon be over were reflected in increased visitor numbers at September 2009’s French Property Exhibition in London.
According to the organisers, visitors were out in force, and French property agents were pleased with the turnout and sales leads from the show, which has now been held for two decades, bringing together French property, legal and finance experts.
The exhibition saw a 10% increase in audience, while seminars on both the buying process and living in France were fully booked up. French Property News editor Karen Tait said: “I’m not surprised to hear that visitor numbers are up. We’re definitely seeing increased interest in French property at the moment – over the past year, many potential purchasers have held off, waiting to see which way the market, economy and exchange rates would go. Now it seems people are tired of waiting and have decided to go ahead and pursue their dreams of a home in France. And as many vendors in France have been dropping their prices over the past year, anyone taking the plunge right now can be sure to find some great property bargains!
“France is definitely a hotspot right now,” she added, “with two independent surveys recently revealing that it is the most popular overseas destination for expats and housebuyers.”
