French Real Estate When you Buy Think of Selling

Do you think that when you buy a French property you need to think of selling?

Yes, indeed. If you get a great price because you buy a house close to the ‘autoroute’ then you will most likely have a difficult sale in the future.

No matter whether you buy in a fast or slow moving market the key to your best French real estate investment is always the location. A French property located close but not too close to shops, schools, transportation and the occasional bakery and coffee shop is always of interest.

Remember when you buy, think of selling. If you know it will be easy to re sell you have made a wise purchase.
