Property Northern France

If you’re considering buying property in France, it’s worth taking a look at the Northern regions including Brittany, Nord-pas de Calais, Normandy and Picardy. Property investment in Northern France offers both high potential returns and an exciting location for a second or even principal home.

The benefits of making a property investment in France, especially in the North of the country, are numerous - particularly for UK investors. Property prices are relatively cheap compared with those in the UK and elsewhere in France, and the proximity and great transport links between the two mean getting there is easy.

Property investment in France’s Northern region affords probably the easiest location for British buyers to hop across to, with the Channel Tunnel and ferry links to the famous, industrialised ports of Calais, Dunkerque and the more attractive Boulogne. Further inland from Boulogne, you will find the historical towns of Arras and Lille (also with fantastic rail links to the UK and the rest of France), and to the west, is ‘Haut’ Normandy, with the famous cities of Rouen and Dieppe, and the huge port of Le Havre.

This combination of industry and very traditional cities, together with the charming seaside resorts – such as the famous Le Touquet - and fishing villages (here you’ll find some of the best fish restaurants and fish dishes in France!) dotted around the coastline, makes for a fascinating and varied landscape, and with many different styles of property, still at very reasonable prices.
