Hoping to buy a home in France? Make it a reality in 2024 and get yourself to The French Property Exhibition when it returns to London this month.
Whether it's a relatively new dream in the early planning stages, or you've been working towards it for a while and just need help tying up loose ends, you'll find all the advice and details you need under one roof — for free.
Château in Champagne? Bolthole in Brittany? You can browse thousands of properties currently for sale all over France, with estate agents from across the country on hand to offer advice on all aspects of finding your dream home, from picking a location to the types of property available right now.
Already know where or what you want to buy, but bewildered by the legal formalities? Exhibition sponsor Blevins Franks will be advising visitors on financial matters, including offering insight into the French tax and succession systems — not quite as exciting as planning your new French garden and picking out furniture, but crucial information to make sure you don't get caught out further down the line.
Relocation and removals experts, builders, visa specialists — pretty much anyone who's likely to be involved in making your dream a reality — are also available to chat and answer questions, so every aspect of your move is taken care of.
The show also includes a programme of free seminars, running across both days, and led by experts with experience in cross-border property transactions. Tax, legal, financial and mortgage matters are all covered, spanning a range of different circumstances and budgets, whether you're looking for a holiday home across the Channel, or are planning to make a permanent move. Check the website for the seminar schedule ahead of the event to make sure you don't miss anything, and ensure you arrive at the show in good time to secure your place.
And with sales moving faster than ever on the French property market, you could be picking up the keys to your new pied-à-terre by spring — which would make a pretty spectacular start to 2024!
The French Property Exhibition, London, takes place 27-28 January 2024 in the Champagne Suite at Novotel London West in Hammersmith. Tickets are free, as are all seminars, and include a complimentary copy of French Property News magazine on arrival, and a free show guide to help you make the most of your day.
