Normandy Property For Sale

With easy access from the ports of Cherbourg, Caen (Ouistreham), Le Havre and Dieppe, Normandy property is just a hop across the channel for UK buyers. As a result, coastal Normandy property is at a premium with fashionable Deauville property also reflecting the purchasing power of the weekending Paris glitterati.

Normandy property bargains are best found inland – with Orne property perhaps representing the best value for money. Normandy property to renovate will not come any cheaper than this. The closer you get to Paris, the steeper the prices; and while it is Paris commuters who have pushed up Eure property prices, it is the new generation of UK commuters who are targeting Seine Maritime property with its one hour drive-time to Calais and its twin ports of Le Havre and Dieppe. With to-die-for locations between London and Paris, both Eure property and Seine Maritime property represent excellent investments for the future.

Normandy property near Mont-St-Michel (France’s second most popular tourist attraction after the Eiffel Tower), the D Day Landings beaches or Monet’s garden at Giverney can command good rental income from holidaying Brits. Manche property around Avranches is very near to Mont-St-Michel and the port of St Malo and yet is very reasonably priced compared to Calvados property – although the latter is nearer to the chic coastal resorts, the invasion beaches, the Bayeux tapestry and Giverney.

If you want to buy on the Normandy Riviera – and you are prepared to buy at a premium – Deauville property and Trouville property are very sought after by commuters from Paris, Caen and Rennes. A well placed investment here can yield excellent capital growth and handsome returns at the very top end of France’s domestic rentals market.
