French property mortgage rate changes were trended to have a possible increase after August (we wrote about this here).

However, according to the latest article in Explorimmo, French property mortgage rates show a new decline in the month of September. The rates went down on all loans exceeding 15 years.

According to Maël Bernier of Meilleurtaux.com, the change is between 0.15 and 0.25 percent on mortgages that are for longer than 15 years.
