Accessibility to French investment property boosted by Eurostar

The introduction of the Eurostar has helped provide a boost to the French
property investment market, it has been suggested.

Cherise Williams, a spokesperson for the VEF Group, explained that the Eurostar has helped France seem more accessible for British investors.

She said that the train has "its part to play" in the market, describing how people appreciate how "quick
and easy" it is for investors to get to France for the weekend.


"People are also purchasing because commuter links are expected to improve within the next ten years between London and Calais," Ms Williams stated.
She added that commuters and holiday home owners could benefit from enhanced links that are likely to make the country "even more accessible".

Some of the areas in France that may be attractive to investors include the Atlantic Ocean coastline that stretches from the south of Bordeaux to the beginning of the Basque country, Ms Williams said.
