Can Brits still buy in France now that they are not in the EU

[mysty]

Yes is the answer but it could have changed.
Some French senator wanted non EU citizens banned from buying property in France apparently they push up prices.

The sellers are the ones pushing up prices.............once they see the buyers' number plates.

Of course one never hears them saying that said properties have been on the market for years, if not decades, available to said lemon-suckers all that time.

At [mention]MAD87[/mention] Never heard of a lemon sucker so had to look it up

Lemon Sucker
What is Lemon Sucker?

1.
1)A lesbian (lemon = clitoris)

2)Some on who sucks actual lemons (the fruit) for sexual pleasure

3)Someone with a face like a smacked arse.

1)Come here you lemon sucker.

2)What were you just doing to that lemon you lemon sucker?

3)Someone's sucking lemons today

Don't get what it has to do with British buyers in the EU but you live and learn

I agree, Hotrodder. The people that complain about foreigners buying up properties and pushing up prices seem conveniently to forget that it's generally their compatriots who have demanded the high prices in the first place.
I worked for a French estate agent one summer and a French woman rang up and said she wanted to sell her house to the highest bidder, and preferably to les Anglais because they would pay more than the French would. I told her politely (but with great pleasure) that we were not an auction house and she could take her property elsewhere

The argument about non-EU buyers pushing up prices is exactly the same as complaining that Parisians (they're all rich !) buying secondaires on the coast, in villages etc. The prices rocket and the properties are empty for 10 months of the years, and there's nothing affordable for locals to buy. Who is to blame ?

In Cornwall, a county of low wages and high property prices, the housing market is now well out of reach of most locals. Pointing the finger and blaming people is pointless as it’s down to simple economics, supply and demand.
