According to the Saturday Telegraph the languedoc area of France is the latest hot-spot for villa, house and apartment sales and with an increase in budget airlines coming to the area it is set to become the hottest French destination for British buyers.
With the overwhelming trend for more flights, from more regional airports. The latest addition opens on Monday when Ryanair is launching a new, three-times-aweek service from Bristol to Béziers in the Languedoc region of southern France.
Languedoc is well served by the budget airlines, with four other airports that take direct flights from the UK — Nîmes Carcassonne, Perpignan, and Montpellier.
Ryanair’s new service is certain to boost the number of Britons seeking to buy property in the area, where 10 per cent of all holiday homes are British-owned.
Béziers and its surrounding area is a hot tip for investors or anyone looking to buy a holiday home in a truly up-and-coming destination in the south of France. It has one of the best rental yields for the whole region — 5.6 per cent.
British buyers are looking for period apartments with parquet floors, marble mantelpieces and high ceilings and there are some prime examples of this type of property in the 18th- and 19th century buildings in the city centre. You would expect to pay about €150,000-200,000 for those. There are also some beautiful homes in the nearby countryside. Look at Totally Languedoc for the best properties in the area.
