French property exhibition this weekend - 6 May 2011

France’s recent renaissance as a magnet for property investors is expected to draw in larger than ever crowds at this weekend’s French Property Exhibition in Harrogate.

The show is the only dedicated French property event of its kind outside London and organisers are anticipating interest from a new breed of buyer as stable prices and good regional air connections open up affordable up and coming areas.

“Cheap flights from regional UK airports are opening up new areas and there are some real property bargains to be had in previously undiscovered destinations that lie within a few hours’ drive of Beziers, Carcassonne and Perpignan,” said Patrick Joseph, owner of UK-based French property portal My-French-House.com and one of this weekend’s exhibitors.

“There has been a definite rise in demand for all types of property in these areas as well as in regions that have always been traditional favourites with British buyers, such as the Dordogne, Gers, Tarn, the Cote d’Azur, Poitou Charentes and northern France, particularly Brittany and Normandy,” said Mr Joseph, who saw the biggest increase in traffic to his website in the first quarter of this year than at any time since its launch in 2004. “French property in general is attracting greater interest than it has for many years,” he added.
