We have been constantly banging on about how good the investment opportunities are in the property market for a while now – and you don’t have to just take our word for it!
Detailed research from Assetz, the UK’s leading property investment specialist, brings together all the key investment criteria for the UK and overseas property hotspots to form a quarterly investment Tracker.
They have just released their figures for the third quarter of 2006 and France still tops the charts. A consistent rental market, low mortgage rates and an average capital growth of 9.1% ensures that your invested cash will give you a whopping 62% return.

These figures are based on the whole of France, but when you factor in the current boom that the Languedoc is enjoying – and there is no reason why this is not set to continue – then the figures are very exciting. See our other reports about the capital growth of the region when compared to Provence, or indeed the range of factors that will ensure that Languedoc continues to be the ‘HOT Spot’ for French property.
Stuart Law, Managing Director of Assetz comments:
“France, meanwhile, is continuing to perform consistently well. The majority of investors want to make personal use of their property, either as a holiday home or somewhere to retire to, and they are opting for the quality of France as a sophisticated destination over emerging markets such as Croatia and Turkey. Low deposit levels of just 15% have ensured that investors benefit considerably from capital growth of 9.1%.”
