France
Property for sale in France is cheapest where rural depopulation has been sharpest, and dearest along the south coast and in the Alps. Prices run from around €30,000 (£26,000) to over €2m, though only 169 homes sit under €100,000.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine holds the largest share of rural stock, with Dordogne the most searched part of it. Use the filters to narrow by region, price and property type.
Why buy property in France
France offers more variety than any other market we cover, and the two ends of it behave very differently. Prices run from around €30,000 for a village house needing work to over €2m for a chalet in the Trois Vallées, with 1,663 homes inside a €300,000 budget. Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Normandy, Brittany and Occitanie carry the rural and small-town stock, while Provence, the Riviera and the Alps sit well above. Purchase costs add roughly 7% to 8% on a resale property, most of it the notaire fee, and the sale becomes binding after a ten-day cooling-off period.

Does buying property in France give residency or a visa?
No—buying property in France does not automatically give you residency or the right to live in France long-term.
Residency depends on your nationality, visas, and income/insurance requirements. Property ownership can support a visa application (by showing accommodation), but it isn’t a guarantee.
If you want to spend extended time in France, plan the immigration route separately from the purchase, and make sure your notary and tax adviser understand your residency status for ongoing tax, rental income, and inheritance planning.
We strongly recommend speaking to visa, expat specialist to ensure that your route to France is smooth and done properly. Visit our France Experts directory for further assistance.
What property checks and diagnostics are required when buying in France?
Most purchases in France include a seller “diagnostics” pack, commonly covering items like energy performance (DPE), lead/asbestos (where relevant by age), gas/electric safety (where relevant), natural/technological risks (ERP), and local requirements such as termites in certain zones. These reports inform you but don’t replace a deeper inspection—especially for older rural homes.
If you’re buying a character property, consider an independent surveyor to check structure, damp, roof condition, drainage, and renovation quality before you commit.
