Could international money transfers to France help keep property prices down?

International money transfers to France could benefit people looking to buy a property overseas.

The market in Paris has seen some particularly strong price rises over the last five years.

Indeed, values have risen by 40 per cent since 2005, rising by almost 18 per cent in 2010 alone, according to the latest residential property price statistics from the Paris Chamber of Notaries.

However, this followed a four per cent decline in 2009, which was a "small dip" that followed the financial crisis, Kerstin Bachmann, partner at Paris Property Group, told Overseas Property Professional.

Using a foreign exchange broker to make international money transfers to France can help expatriates avoid paying excess costs when buying a house abroad.

Meanwhile, the rest of France has seen property prices remain relatively static over recent years.
