French Village at A Place in the Sun Live

Tuesday 15 March 2011

Our largest French Village took place at the A Place in the Sun Live exhibition London last weekend.

This was the second occasion that French-Property.com have participated in the APITS Live London overseas property exhibition.

A Place in the Sun Live is the largest overseas property exhibition in the UK and our French Village is a major display area at the event.

Andy Bridge, Managing Director of A Place in the Sun Live stated that, ‘French buyers know exactly what they want and it is vital to give them high-quality information and advice to help them with their purchase plans. To do this you need a series of experts and a structure behind them. A Place in the Sun and French-Property.com delivered this successfully and we look forward to doing so again.’

This year our French Village was the biggest we have so far organised, with a range of estate agents, legal, tax, health and financial experts. We also had the presence of our guest authors Stephen Clarke and Lucy Wadham.

The seminars we ran over the three days were also generally very well attended, with standing room only available for some of them.

David Johnson Managing Director of Halo Financial Ltd, the sponsors of the French Village stated. ‘The French Village format at APITS works well. The availability of an array of useful France related services and professions makes it a simple task for the visitors to access all the information they need prior to embarking on the purchase of a French property. Even existing French property owners found it very useful to be able to source further tax, legal and currency related information in one specific area. Halo Financial is happy to sponsor the French Village and we hope that association will continue for many years to come.’

As with last year, there were a good number of serious buyers at the event and it is clear that France remains a very popular destination for those seeking to buy abroad.

Thank you to those of you who attended the show, and we hope we can be of further assistance to you in your search for a home in France.
