France has so much to offer, fine wines, excellent food, beautiful and uncrowded countryside  and affordable properties.  Each year more and more people buy a second home in France or move completely in search of a better lifestyle.

Here at Home France we're hoping to make the move to France easier for you with information on the different regions of France, the differences in how you buy a property in France and what you need to know to make living in France comfortable.

Just as in the UK, prices vary according to the region. Moving away from the tourist traps you will discover prices fall dramatically. Often at half or even a third of the price you would expect to pay in the UK. We're adding properties daily so you can see for yourself.

Financing a property abroad can be daunting when you start out but we hope our help pages will give you some guidance and get you off to a good start. 

Don't forget the legal system, especially when buying a house, is different in France to the UK - our  site will help explain this but you should always seek advice from a local lawyer who speaks English before signing any document.
