As France overtakes Britain as world’s fifth largest economy the reasons for buying in France are still the same!

British buyers are a significant part of the French property market so what effect has Brexit had on them?

So what’s changed? Certainly not people’s yearning for la belle vie, says solicitor Matthew Cameron, of Ashtons Legal. “France will continue to be one of our closest foreign neighbours and the desire to live, work and relax in France will surely remain a hugely important element of the British psyche,” he confidently says.

In a Cle France survey with clients recently about 80% of responders said Brexit has not changed there desire to move to France, the general view is that the process of 'BREXIT' will potentially take a number of years to negotiate, and in the meantime nothing changes, British people are still moving to France to live, in fact Cle France just had their busiest month in 8 years (in June 2017).
