Newsletter Issue 221: 05/05/2020

Welcome to the May 2020 issue of the French-Property.com Newsletter.

Once again this month the news from France is inevitably dominated by the Covid-19 crisis.

With the pandemic now in retreat, there is to be an easing of the lockdown, so we provide details of the plan announced by the government.

In addition, we have an in-depth review of the SAFER right of pre-emption on rural property, together with other articles on French property ownership.

Thank you for all your enquiries we have received over the past couple of months. Our apologies if we have not yet been able to get back to you, but we are gradually working our way through them.
