Recent predictions for the global property market in 2010, made by The National Association of Estate Agents International, show that ‘less risky’ investments may cause buyers to purchase a property in France or Italy where the markets are more stable.
The market predictions also advise anyone looking to buy a property in France to make a cash offer before March as property prices will remain stable within the first quarter of the year.
Keith Baker, French property expert and vice-chairman of NAEA International, said: "French property is likely to be the most affordable for many years. Property prices are now at a more reasonable level of affordability and are set to continue stabilising in the coming months."
According to International Living magazine’s Quality of Life Index published last month, France was voted to offer the best quality of life in the world, finishing higher than popular countries such as Switzerland, Italy and the United States.
