How can I sell my property in France?
For some practical advice on the best way to sell your property follow these top 5 tips:
1. Property presentation
Now is the time to make sure your property is clean and tidy, and well maintained. Think about decluttering to make your property feel more spacious, and where possible keep colours neutral so that potential new owners can picture themselves in your propert2.
2. Choose the right estate agent
