French real estate tip of the day: French property buyers sometimes only visit properties on sunny days since it is a nice way to see a property BUT it can be a mistake.

Why?

You want to see how bright it is inside the home when there is cloud cover or at least when the sun is not shining brightly.

Also when it rains this is a perfect opportunity to see if the roof and gutters are working properly. Yes, it does rain in France : )
