Property buyers see France as a safe haven, experts believe | Europe | News
Popular regions in France are continuing to attract property buyers with the more wealthy looking for areas that they regard as a safe investment.
Also neighbouring Monaco is set to attract more wealthy buyers as a new law reduces the amount of tax payable on property.
The new 1381 law reduces the registration tax payable by individuals purchasing a property in their own name from 7.5% to 4.5%.
This will encourage buyers, according to Paul Humphreys of Knight Frank's France, Monaco and The Alps team. He also believes new developments, including the landmark Tour Odéon project, will create a new benchmark in terms of luxury living, something the Monaco market has lacked for a number of years.
The latest data from Knight Frank’s Global Property Search website shows interest in properties priced between €1 million and €5 million in Monaco increased the most of all price brackets in 2011, with search volumes rising by 74%. This was followed by the €15 million plus bracket, which saw interest rise by 55% year on year.
