Its easy access has ensured that France remains one of the most frequented and popular holiday home countries with UK buyers and the announcement of a new Eurostar winter service between London and the Alps will defiantly increase demand further says French property expert.
The service which will begin from December 19th 2010 will allow you to travel straight from St Pancras and Ashford International to Moutiers, Aime-La-Plagne and Bourg St Maurice in the heart of the Alps. The duration of the trip will only be 7 hours, passing along beautiful scenery with returns fares costing around £149 per person return.
Charlie Williams, French leaseback property consultant at Experience International and passionate Alpine skier stated,
“The French Alps have and always will offer the finest skiing in Europe in my opinion. Ski property with easy and quick access from the UK is in particularly high demand and the news that people can travel between London to the Alps in 7 hours spells good news for French ski property owners; I fully expect demand and subsequently property values to increase.”
There has been a marked increased in the amount of people choosing to visit France by train as opposed to flying with Eurostar reporting a 6% increase in passenger numbers through out the first half of 2010. Environmental concerns combined with the impact of the volcanic ash cloud earlier this year and the rising trend of people choosing rail travel rather than short-haul flights is believed to have accelerated the growth.
One of the resorts predicted by expert Charlie Williams of Experience International as an up and coming and popular destination for the ‘10/11 ski season is Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise. Situated just 15 minutes distance from the train station at Bourg St Maurice and 15 minutes from both Les Arcs and Val d’Isere, this beautiful unspoiled resort has for a while been the secret of experienced guides taking their clients over from nearby Val d’Isere to experience the renowned powder and off-piste skiing available.
Williams goes on to say,
“Thanks to some sensitive re-development this Savoyard town has been reborn as a luxuriously peaceful retreat for families and groups alike. Prices increased by 7.5% over 2009 and to satisfy demand for luxury accommodation a prestigious developer have released La Chapelle, a ski-in ski-out development with many facilities and breathtaking views. You may also be pleased to know that this particular French ski property is on the leaseback system with 100% finance.”
With a freehold leaseback property, you can enjoy guaranteed index linked rental incomes for 18 years as well as personal usage including an extra 4 months through out the summer. The 1st phase is nearly sold out but you can invest in the soon to be released second phase of 4* 1 – 4 bedroom luxury properties from £185,000 with furniture, ski locker, storage & underground parking included.
