Synopsis:  Buying a property in France is a dream for many, and thanks to Eurostar and budget airlines the country is now closer than ever. Whether for use as a second home, weekend retreat, investment or retirement home, Buying a House in France tells you all you need to know, detailing up and coming locations and explaining purchasing procedures which can vary greatly from those normal elsewhere.

Spanning the entire country, not just popular areas, the book provides an excellent resource covering the practicalities of raising finance and transferring currency, dealing with estate agents, surveying practice and exchanging contracts.

The book also gives essential information after a property has been bought, including how to deal with builders when restoring or renovating and how to make money from the house by renting it out.

Also provided is essential background information covering the history, culture and economy of France, its climate and language, visa, permit and residence regulations, the health care, banking and education systems.
