Why invest in Paris property?

Over the last 20 years prices for property in France have remained low despite recent growth. One can buy an apartment in Paris for an investment and get good value. French property and in particular Paris property have consistently been favoured investments for irish and UK investors. Leaseback investments in France and Paris are popular as well. But a growing number of investors who are buying property in France or Paris are opting for the freedom of freehold French properties.

Property in Paris comes in all shapes, sizes and prices and Irish investors seek Paris apartments for sale in the region of €100,000 - €500,000.

Buy to let property in France is now extremely popular among Irish investors given the strong rental yields (4% - 6+%). Buying property in Paris and renting a Paris apartment to local Parisians is the preferred buy to let strategy in France. But short term holiday lets/rentals of furnished accommodation are becoming very popular as one gets to stay in ones own Paris apartment. Those who buy property in Paris not only get strong yield but exposure to the apparently continuing high appreciation of properties in France.
