Real Estate in Western or Eastern Europe - is it difficult choice?

What do prefer real estate in Western or Eastern Europe? The answer to this question can be obtained from the review of the material, in comparison to the example of France and Bulgaria. In this article we will convincingly dispel the myths that real estate in France is only available to very affluent. For this we compare different types of real estate in three regions of France (Paris, Languedoc-Roussillon and the Côte d'Azur) real estate in Bulgaria, which recently has become almost a standard of accessibility for the Russians. Historically, France is closely linked to Russia. For centuries the children of the nobility were brought up and taught French, teachers, and French in high society was the primary spoken, at the beginning of last century a special popularity of Russian resorts on the Cote d'Azur, Paris and then flooded the Russian emigration. All this creates favorable conditions for rest and permanent or temporary residence of our countrymen. Natalia Zavalishin, General Director of "Miel Distant Property Management», says: "For the common stereotypes, do not forget that France - a very diverse country, which should not be limited to only 16 quarter of Paris or Nice. There are areas and whole regions, unfamiliar Russian tourists, but no less attractive. This and other areas of Paris, and successful - but relatively inexpensive - regions such as Languedoc-Roussillon, or bordering the Atlantic Ocean Gascony and Normandy. " Houses in Languedoc-Roussillon VS house in Bulgaria Languedoc - this is an ideal alternative to the Cote d'Azur at a very affordable price. It stretches along the Mediterranean coast and is bordered to the east - with Spain, and from the west - with the department of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur. The region is poorly understood by Russian tourists, but is very popular among the British, Germans and Dutch. Here, the ideal place for teaching children and higher education, as many departments of universities of Montpellier have no analogues in the world. Languedoc-Roussillon is known worldwide for its perfect beaches, wonderful nature, a dense network of vineyards, a huge historical heritage and excellent opportunities for year-round recreation. Living, for example, in Montpellier, you can spend the holiday season on the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, and in winter to ski on the slopes. As we have seen, this region is almost no way inferior to the French Riviera, and property prices here are much more accessible and even comparable to the prices in Bulgaria.

This is not surprising, because a rational investor in times of crisis looks stable places to ride out the storm. It should be noted that property prices in this region were the most resistant. The maximum drop of 5% was observed only in remote areas. " It is considered that the property in Nice or Cannes is very expensive, but it's not entirely true. In Nice, for example, you can find two-bedroom apartment cost $ 150 thousand euros. And for 500-700 thousand euros you can buy luxury two-bedroom apartments, located directly on the coast.

The apartment is fully furnished, has everything you need for immediate occupancy. Price is 115 000 euros. "Not surprisingly, the recent interest in Russian-foreign real estate buyers began to focus precisely in the direction of France. Our fellow citizens have realized that it is not available, as previously thought, but also very stable and liquidity, especially in comparison with some other European countries. Property in France - is not only the possibility of fine beach, skiing, and any other kind of vacation - but also other advantages, such as benefits for a Schengen visa and travel further in Europe, and in a few years - and a residence permit, excellent training, possibility of doing business "- concludes Natalia Zavalishin.
