French house prices have risen for the fifth consecutive quarter.
Brits using international money transfer services to purchase homes in France might be buoyed by the latest figures from French property website fnaim.fr.
According to the data, the price of houses in the European nation has risen for the fifth consecutive quarter.
The latest statistics, which relate to the period April to June 2011, show that the typical price of a home sold was up 3.3 per cent on the previous quarter.
Figures were particularly strong outside of Paris, with an increase of 4.3 per cent showing when homes in the capital city were excluded from the mix.
Leggett Immobilier claimed that sellers and investors should still view the market with a sense of realism.
“Further headlines of house price rises need to be treated with caution,” explained chief executive Trevor Leggett.
“We know that the average price of property sold in France by FNAIM members has increased by 6.8 per cent overall this year but it’s important that vendors’ expectation levels remain realistic.”
In other news, Cape Verde Property recently noted that international investors could get a good deal on homes in the Atlantic archipelago at the moment.
