property values in south west france

French property values continue to decline

IT'S no secret that we are seeing an accelerated decrease in the value of french property since the start of September 2008.

In a BBC news report yesterday, there was mention of a 50% drop in the number of properties in the Dordogne being bought by the British.

Property values in south west France are expected to fall by as much as 15% with regional variations from 10 - 20%.
