French property buyers can access a number of bargains in what is now a "true buyer’s market" it has been stated.

Chief executive of property portal Homesgofast.com Nicholas Marr pointed to a new development near Paris as a prime example of how buyers are favoured by current market conditions.

Properties are available for as little as €95,000 in the suburb of Bois d’Arcy, with a 4.4 per cent annual average rental yield.

Mr Marr said: "The French property market has never offered investors opportunities like this, it’s a true buyers market and one that investors can benefit from."

A survey earlier this month showed that a large number of Britons would like to buy a French property.

The poll by international real estate portal homesoverseas.co.uk found that 1.4 million Britons would consider buying overseas in the next year, with 25.9 per cent of them stating that France would be their location of choice.

Editor of the site Marc Da-Silva commented that now is a good time for investors to pick up "bargain basement" deals.
