It is fair to say that some property values have edged higher, that being for coastal property with good sea views and in areas where the supply is limited this includes both Mallorca and the Cote d’Azur. However, where the supply is still evident, prices remain static. However, I’m delighted to report that our partners in France, Italy and Spain indicate that country property is enjoying a long awaited increase in demand. Prices have bottomed and there are some excellent properties at ‘post-slump’ prices to be had in Tuscany, southern France, Mallorca and mainland Spain. OVERSEAS It’s time to pack up the beach wear as Europe’s summer holiday season draws to a close and think about waxing those ski’s in anticipation of the forthcoming ski season. It has been a good year for property sales across Europe as buyer confidence has steadily improved and the memory of the recent slump starts to fade. New development projects are attracting a lot of buyer demand. And we include an exclusive new project in Châtel, in France’s Haute Savoie of luxury apartments, which I believe will generate a lot of interest.
