  1. We're proud to announce the launch of the France Property Shop app, the first of its kind for the ipad. It's really easy and fun to use - just scroll through colour photos and details of beautiful properties from all over France (from our market-leading property portal, www.francepropertyshop.com) and save any you fancy to 'favourites'. You'll be pleased to hear, I'm sure, that it's free to download!

  3. Good news for once! Sarkozy has indeed made a u-turn on the proposed tax - great news for all British owners of holiday homes in France! We're all smiles at French Property News today. For more information, see:

  4. While most of us object to this tax, for various reasons not least because it may well be discriminatory under EU law, and not forgetting all the euros British holiday homeowners pour into France's coffers, at least it seems that the tax would be less than initially feared. As most Brits who buy in France tend to choose rural locations, rather than glitzier and pricier Riviera and Paris locations, for example, the notional rental values of their properties are really rather low, meaning the 20% of this value that would be payable as tax will also be fairly nominal. Of course, most people who own a holiday home in rural France aren't jetsetters, and haven't easily afforded their 'dream', as has been suggested, so any extra expense is bad news. Let's hope Sarkozy sees sense and puts this proposal where it deserves to be - in the bin!
