In news that may interest those thinking of buying French Riviera property, it has been stated that the city of Nice has seen the country’s highest increases in value in the last year.
Writing for French Property News, director of Francemediterraneanproperty.com Peter-Danton de Rouffignac said that many parts of the country have seen healthy price rises in recent years.
He quoted Notaires de France figures showing that in the past year Nice property has outstripped other French cities, with apartments up in value by 7.27 per cent and houses by ten per cent.
Such figures may prompt more investors to look to the French Riviera for investment opportunities.
Mr De Rouffignac advised that there are many bargains around all over France, including new builds, making now a good time to invest.
Last month Francois Xavier de Vial of French real estate company home-hunts.com told the same publication: "Contrary to what some people think, now is still a good time to buy French property."
