French or Spanish property for sale?

Rightmove, recently released information suggesting that Spain is loosing it’s crown as the place that most British investors are looking to buy property investments. Instead Provincial France is becoming the hot favourite.


Rachael Porter from online property investment house Simple Property Investments commented that “it is interesting to see buyers looking abroad both in Spain and France for high yielding rentals, when the UK still offers some really good investments.”


However given the close proximately of France to the British Isles, many investors are looking for second homes ‘en France’ to provide a holiday home or base for travel to London. Whereas the Spanish market is still primarily for pure investment and rental purposes, rather than leisure.
