Setting a budget

It is important to have a realistic budget in mind and an average price for a 1,000 metre square plot, approximately one quarter of an acre would be in the region of 20,000 Euros, this price rises dramatically as one nears the coast.

The build cost of a three bedroomed bungalow, including the plot would cost around 150,000 Euros.

French banks are keen to lend money on new build. It is seen as a secure investment with a ready re-sale market to French and International buyers. Investment in property in France is considered to be a safe investment, with the prospect that your new home will have enjoyed a significant increase in its value during the build period of about twelve months.
