Investment opportunitiesThe housing market in Var provides many opportunities for investing in property. The department number is 83. The main administrative town (préfecture) of the département is Toulon and the département is located in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Var is probably the most glamourous and sought after departement in France. One just has to think of Nice and the Promenade des Anglais, the Cannes Film Festival (May 17 to May 28 in 2006), and the harbour of St tropez with all those huge expensive yachts owned by (sometimes) beautiful people. France is a beautiful, varied country with huge swathes of pristine beaches, craggy alpine peaks and rolling meadows. The country has long since been a magnet for foreign property buyers. As well as prices being cheaper than in the UK (with some exceptions), the way of life and culture are so appealing. Most of the country has nice reliable summer sun, and the Mediterranean region is guaranteed to be quite hot and sunny in the summer.
Ask a ProfessionalThere may be investment prospects in the département, but it is essential that you seek independent expert professional advice before undertaking any property purchase. Any property purchase is a major undertaking.
Surge in InterestThe interest in purchasing property abroad has increased at an amazing rate in the past five years, fuelled in the UK by a booming domestic housing market making overseas properties seem good value for money. Also, TV programmes like the Channel 4 programme A Place in the Sun have made everyone realise that owning a property abroad is no longer just for the rich and famous. People are interested in purchasing a home overseas for a variety of reasons - enjoyment, investment, a new life, retirement, and more.
