For Brits looking to benefit from France’s fantastic choice of homes, affordable prices and cheap euro mortgages, the France Show in London would be well worth a visit.
The long-running lifestyle and property show takes place from 29th -31st January 2016 and features thousands of properties for sale from all regions of France. As well as property agents, experts from legal, financial, mortgage and currency firms will be on hand there, offering free advice that will help you buy in or relocate to France.
“As regular exhibitors, we find the show the perfect opportunity to meet new people, hear about their buying plans and offer assistance based around their individual needs,” said Charles Purdy, MD of Smart Currency Exchange, who will be sharing a stand with the France Property Guide at this year’s show. “2016 hasn’t started well for sterling and there is a lot of uncertainty around currency markets right now. When conditions are like this, it’s especially important to be able to chat to people face to face and take time to explain how they can minimise their exposure to the exchange rate.”
Ellie Robson, country specialist at France Buying Guide, is looking forward to exhibiting at the show and helping people realise their dream of moving to France again this year.
“With so much expertise under one roof, live shows like this are a really good way to get your bearings and start pulling together your plans to buy property in or move to France,” said Ellie Robson. “Having a show dedicated to France and all that it has to offer is a great way for us to meet our readers and hear their stories first hand, while being able to provide expert guidance to those embarking on this exciting journey face to face.”
Highlights of this year’s show include:
– The French Property Seminars. These expert-led sessions cover essential info including where to buy, the purchase process, managing your finances, earning a living and navigating daily life.
– An even bigger French Property Exhibition. A wider choice of French estate agents for 2016 means even more great value houses to choose from.
– The chance to talk to experts. A highlight of the show is the opportunity to talk face-to-face with professionals including tax and legal experts, removal firms and representatives from the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
In addition to hosting The French Property Exhibition, the show allows visitors to experience the best of the French lifestyle, from tasting wine with experts such as the Telegraph’s Susy Atkins and watching top chefs in action, to discovering new holiday destinations, shopping at the huge French market and enjoying live entertainment.
The France Show takes place at London Olympia from 29th-31st January 2016. Entrance to the French Property Exhibition and all seminars is included in the price of entry (seminar tickets must be reserved free of charge on the day).
