Nice has is emerging as a real French property hotspot and an attractive proposition for buyers seeking a stable investment, it has been claimed.

The city’s coastal location and its enduring popularity with tourists have been cited as two of the main reasons why prices have remained relatively stable and are even predicted to rise in the coming months.

Kirkor Ajderhanyan, MD and owner of Agence 107 Promenade, tells homesoverseas.com: "Properties in sought after locations such as the Promenade des Anglais, the seafront in Nice, are still in demand.

"Property prices on the Promenade des Anglais in particular have remained stable, over all we expect to see an increase in property prices in Nice within the next 6 months."

Mr Ajderhanyan adds that French property remains popular among buyers because it is seen as a safe investment, with favourable consumer protection laws and better mortgage prospects than many other parts of the world.

A recent study of investment enquiries by Conti revealed French property as the number one choice among potential buyers.
