Take 5 in France – Properties for under €50,000
If you've moved to France and would like to improve your income stream, or you've got some savings and want to do something interesting with them, then starting your own property empire could be the answer. Unlike in the UK, there really are bargains to be had in France for renovation purposes or to let as a gite and you may not even need a mortgage. It's a good idea to seek advice from professionals who can help you plan the development and ensure that all administrative elements are covered. French planning laws are quite different to the UK, so make sure your grand designs are likely to gain approval before you start digging the foundations. We've selected five properties throughout France in different types of location. If you don't fancy a renovation project, we've also included a ready to use holiday home in the Poitou-Charentes.
