France still holds a special place in home buyers’ and holiday makers’ hearts – it’s official.
Research reveals that Britons are following their hearts when buying property abroad and opting for familiar holiday destinations such as Spain (15%) and France (12%), instead of less familiar countries like Morocco or Cape Verde.
With 5.5 million British people living abroad and 200,000 Britons travelling abroad every year to buy a property overseas, a representative sample of 2,315 British people was asked which country they thought was the best place to buy abroad.
The results, announced in June 2007, show that the British public is playing it safe. There may be more lucrative investment opportunities amongst lesser known destinations, but the British public continues to opt for the traditional favourites of Spain and France.
Of the 61.4 million holidays being taken each year by Brits, 25.8 million of these are to France and Spain. With such large numbers heading to these destinations it’s not surprising that they have come out on top with people buying abroad.
So if you’re thinking of buying a Languedoc holiday home, for your own use or to let out to tourists, rest assured that your choice of France as a location is a highly popular one. Take a look at our selection of Languedoc property for sale.
