The falling value of the sterling against the Euro could see Britons who own French property benefiting, it has been claimed.

According to Homemove, citing findings from Foreign Currency Direct, some Brits who own French property or homes in other part of Europe are looking into selling their overseas houses to make a profit on the back of the weak pound.

The website noted that since 2007, the prices of French property have been falling which could leave the chance open for Brits to make money.

This is after prices in France rose by more than 200 per cent between 1995 and 2007.

A survey from Foreign Currency Direct found that more and more Brits are taking advantage of the strong euro and selling their French property or Spanish property.

"Even with falling house prices, many people have made money by the fall in the value of sterling," said Peter Ellis from the company.
